“When you were in the military was it losing thousands dead every year just in training?”

Military won’t take me I’m disabled so I have no choice in the matter.

As for me, that’s no excuse. You do the job you’re assigned, you do what it takes to win. Did the folks in WWII just up and quit?

No. And we won’t. We’ve already won one war against Iraq, and we’ll win these next two. We’ve never had a day of peace since we’ve come of age. Not one. I was 19 when the tower was hit. We’ve fought for 11 years since, with no end in sight. When my father was 20, the war was over and they had 20 years of peace until desert storm.

That’s the Boomer legacy. Even the oldest boomer was out of Vietnam by the age that I am today.

You want to talk about shared sacrifice, let’s talk about shared sacrifice. But it’s the young men and women that are out there putting their lives on the line to make sure that another 3k civilians do not die again in the tower.

Where were the Boomers when they were in charge in 2001? Why did they not protect the country? Why were you all asleep at the switch?

You had 8 years of Clinton, and when they were done, the tower was hit.

This is nutty, you think that the serving military youth “just up and quit” and made the decision to sign a treaty with north Vietnam and end the war? Do you know that the military is under control of the civilian government? Do you know how the war ended?

You never served but you want to attack nine and a half million veterans and current military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan?

You seem to be the whiniest baby around, and very anti-military unless they are a particular age.
