I don't care that people did whatever they did to shorten their time in the service, Lord knows the military isn't for everyone and it's more honorable to stand up, try, and fail than everyone who was fully capable and never got off the couch.
If someone is in the military and they can't be motivated through legitimate means to honor their full contract, we should thank them for trying and send them home. Better to find out that they don't have what it takes in a dank airplane hanger than a foxhole.
With that said, and borrowing a Seinfeldesque non sequitur, what's the deal with these military rags celebrating it? A cowardly scheme trashing the reserves and showcasing a multimillionaire comedian maligned to avoid military service isn't a story for military.com, or at least it shouldn't be. Especially these days when servicemen are being persecuted for liking the "wrong kind" of humor.
At least Michael Richards who played Kramer served honorably in the Army(1970-72).
He swore an oath, then faked to get out of it. He is a reprehensible human. A man would have fulfilled his oath of enlistment then got out.
I dealt with these weak scumbags when I served, every now and then. They are not worthy of anything except contempt. Especially if they brag about it years later.
Agree. His early exit may have saved a few lives on our side. Still, he's a creep; and I also agree that the military has no business publishing this—unless it's used for target practice.
