Think about it. Our men and women have basically been in combat since 2002. They have been in the war zones many more times than we were in combat zones in Nam. I knew some guys who were in Nam 2 or 3 times. But this current crop are over there 4, 5, 6, 7 times. They are living on borrowed time. I recently spent most of a day in the VA hospital in Birmingham, AL reference my own disability claims from 20 plus years ago, and I saw a LOT of younger vets in there. I know their bodies are broken and they will suffer what I have suffered all these years, PAIN. I have been dealing with injuries from the 1970s and 1980s, along with wounds from Nam. I have battled the VA since 1992 over claims. I spent 5 years once in appeals. I would have my appeal denied. Would appeal and the VERY SAME GUY THAT DENIED IT, would RULE on my appeal and DENY it. It went to DC to get resolved. Finally, before the Board of VA appeals, I got some of it over turned and got some disability. Now, in the past six years, I have had FIVE surgeries on the injuries that VA said I was not injured. I am once again in a fight over these claims with them. I suspect that they will be denied again and I will once again be going through the appeals process and have years and years of waiting. I may even die of old age before anything is resolved.
My over all point here is that our people are being used up. The current government is wearing them out. Our men and women are wasted in a game. A game that Obama and his minions are using to bring America down. We have PINKED our military and the homos in pink will not be what the men and women in camo were. I don't give a crap what anyone says, I have been around homosexuals that came to light in the military and the ones I worked with in Seattle. They are wimps. Maybe there are a few that are decent soldiers, but the crop that I saw in Seattle could not beat a good Boy Scout group in hand to hand combat. Our military leaders that are still soldiers will be one by one done away with until the @$$ kissers for rank that Obama is looking for come along. He will celebrate the day he gets his first four star homosexual general. That may come sooner than we think. I suspect in the next 5 to 10 years that will come about. So much for my rant.
Although History Deniers like centurion316 would insist such could never happen...
