I am an angry white male soldier and I don't care what you think
my head ^ | Freeplancer

Posted on 02/15/2005 1:29:53 PM PST by freeplancer

No, this is not some generic white-man rant that is passed around on the internet and attributed to Ted Nugent. It is from me, FReeplancer and I doubt it is a piece of work that would be spread anywhere, except with the rest of life's manure. You see, I am now and again a soldier and a Cancer survivor and I don't want your encouragement or kind words about any of it because I don't deserve it, so don't even write to me with any thing nice to say.

You can do a search on me and see pretty much what I have been up to since before the 2000 election. While living in Portland, Oregon, I FReeped Gore and attended Dubya's rally. I have been a good boy in all the ways a "conservative" guy can. After years of service and crazy jobs that took me around the world, I finally got serious about my relationship with God and I got married to a great gal, and I even became proactive in politics and other worthy endeavors. And after 2 years of being good, I get Cancer, and I did not give my Cancer a little pet name and have a Mommy come to my rescue to hold press conferences and make me think the whole world will always help me with my problems like little David Dingman-Grover did that we are reading about today.

Nope, instead, my wife worked even more while I sank into a haze of intensive chemotherapy. Hair today, gone tomorrow, and I could not lift my head off of a pillow one time and I could not remember my middle name either for a day, but guess what? Things got worse. Since we moved away from her family and went to Kansas so I can take a good job with my Dad, my wife's Father died and he was a retired Green Beret (19th Group) Company commander and professor at BYU and the greatest man I ever knew. He was also out rock. Anyway, she was all alone this year and worried that her husband of only 2-3 years was not going to make it. I did, and we declared bankruptcy because of all the medical bills, and then when life seemed to settle down and there was a faint light at the end of the tunnel, Reactivation and Deployment papers.

I already had Reagan, Bush 41 for a CIC, but now I have Bush 43 as one. I am glad he is a good man, but things are different this time. I will keep the secrets of the 160 men I am now going to call my family, but never have I seen such bad attitudes.

I and my new family will serve, but one of the only reasons most of us will this time, is because we would be ashamed to not do so while still in the shadow of WWII and the rest of the wars that some of us have already served in. I have learned that it does not matter what gets American Men to war, because once they are there, they do it all for each other and that is the purest truth I know of.

Now, back to being angry. I am, I really am angry. Sue me.

OK, I must have missed something. I read the rant twice but still don’t know why you are angry. Is it just because you had a rough period in your life? Most of us do.

Maybe your negative attitude is encouraging theirs?

Maybe your positive attitude would help them overcome theirs?

I pray for God to give you what you need.

There some things in your writing that i did not quite comprehend (eg the subtle slight towards that kid), but as for the rest all i can do is just ask the good Lord to help you and your family (both your family-family and your military family). God bless and keep you sir.

Spetz.

Is he just trying to shut down the courts? Doesn't make sense.

I would like to know who is providing him with the cash to take it to all 13 federal court districts. This information should be mind boggling.

That's the part I find unbelievable.

But yesterday I read in the paper about a man with 11 kids who has just been reactivated.

So--the Army must be pretty desperate for bodies to send over to that mess in Iraq.

"If you can't make your point without ridiculing a little kid with cancer, then you pretty much suck, regardless of whatever else you may have done."

I gotta say, that's hard to disagree with.

As they say in the military, they don't issue wives and children. Period.

Out of curiousity, what's a mango tree lawyer? I figure this silly thread is probably the best place to ask.

No problem...It is directed to that shyster Greg Craig who was the pimp for Clinton and Castro to get little Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba. West Indians call these lowlifes mango tree lawyers because one finds them practicing their trade under the shade of mango trees near government buildings waiting for some unsuspecting pray.

Hard times indeed.

Boo-Fu*king-Hoo!

The alternative if I read you right is:

1. You're not right with God
2. You aren't married to a great lady
3. You are DEAD

You are pissed off by missing that?

So now you are called up to once again serve and the only reason you can see to do it is shame? Better change that freeper page of yours "America kicks ass!" because you currently don't reflect it.

If you have been called up it's most likely because you have needed skills, are an experienced NCO or Officer. No matter the attitudes of those troops will reflect YOURS and if it's bad then there is nobody left to blame but you.

Get over it.

No, I haven't gone through the same crap you have, I've had my own bucket to pour and it splashed just fine thank you. So what? I retired an NCO and if I had a chance to go back I would be worried about my family and maybe a little concerned about the possibility of not coming back, but I sure as hell would not let my people know or post if all for the world to see.

Don't like this? Tough. You need to hear it.

I'm a vet over 50 and I've pondered re-upping, but I doubt they'd take me, and my wife would kill me first. I also have no valuable skill.

But if I did join up, it could get weird. My Bradley would have to stop every hour so I could empty my bladder. I'd also insist Starbucks be served each morning.

And one more thing: some of these entries for some reason remind me of the council Job received from his good buddies.
