First of all I did not say I disrespected the military for its intended purposes. Unfortunantly they have been perverted since WWII. My father was in the army. My Uncle was in the Navy and then was civilian employed till retirement, in Pensacola. His son my cousin is a Navy lifer, was in the Gulf War and my best friend from school days was in the Air Force, his brother the Navy, their father the Navy. Me.... I got out of HS and broke my ass supplying America with our own natural resources, long days, longs weeks, all weather, for real shitty pay, and was happy and proud that I was an HONESTLY productive part of America doing the right thing.
Progged - I well aware of your point about what people vote for, its a no brainer, but probably still good you brought it up. Its just alarming that you say you would vote for anybody just due to the fact that they were in the military, as if everyone with a military background cant possibly do no wrong. Or that your vote would be cast for someone that would continue to break the budget of the country because its a good thing for you and yours.
If you didnt want a pissing match, why would start and then follow your little rhetoric by saying that I have done nothing for this country ? Offensive much ? Jump to conclusions much ? Are you saying that anyone that has not joined one branch of the military....... does nothing for their country ? Please, come clean here..... I a champion myself........
So from a military basis lets deny these things
Vietnam
Cold War armorment
is the military not totally obsessed with its expensive toys ?
has the military not armed these coutries we have had to go to war with or may have to go to war with ?
has this latest boondoggle not run the debt of America into our grandchildrens lifetime ?
we wont go into aborted helicoper rescue crashes and wrongly shot down aircraft and other human flaws
Im all about a strong military and swift firm action, but everything has its limitations and practicality
