Let's see arch. I'm still active, I've been in theater already this year. I was in Afghanistan last year. And you call me a chair warmer. Did you forget that I was 8 years Infantry or are you a has-been that has to disparage others service to make himself feel big?

What you don't know about Intel analysts cracks me up. You should not make assumptions about what someone does because of their MOS. The Army has an awful lot of "other jobs" for people that aren't necessarily apparent by their job title.

Anyway, I'm not going to get into a Peeing contest with a has-been. I know what I've done, and don't have to prove it to you. Even if you have done more than me in your career, that doesn't mean your comments hold water.

BTW those reservists arriving in country will do just fine. Their tours are 18 mos long with required 12 in country. What do you think they are going to do for the other 6? It won't be sitting on their duffs in garrison, I can promise you that. Some of it will be set aside for Demobilization, but the majority will be hell bent for leather training. They will be up to speed when they get there.

Anyway, here's to your moaning and whining about one LTC who can't maintain his self discipline. His story makes for a really good "no $H#T there we were" story, but in reality it costs us way more than any of us are willing to pay.
