OFFS! Well, it is brook ball-twin and her ilk who, no doubt, have all sacrificed something sometime in their worthless lives. Gee, did I miss holidays and birthdays and other significant events when I was in? Uh, yeah. Even in my career there were things that got missed. That happens when there is a 24/7/365 operation happening.

[dp0622]

Amen.

Though I sacrificed many holidays for an investment bank.

A much much less noble deed.

[cdcdawg]

How about we bring them home from the Middle East and Europe and other far flung places that don’t really concern OUR national interests? Can we take our own side? Is that allowed? Ever?

[shelterguy]

I can’t think of many people more nasty than Brooke Baldwin. That plastic face of hers with the permanent scowl makes it look like she has been holding in a fart for months.

[rktman]

Want to have a career where you’re guaranteed to miss holidays and birthdays etc and not be military? Hospitality business will do that to you.

[rktman]

Speaking of which.................

[frog in a pot]

You just outed yourself as one of those despised, evil international bankers! (/snort)

[;^]

[dp0622]

Yes!!!!

Our big holidays are their work days!!

Sounds like you may know from experience.

That is an tough area of business.

[Rebelbase]

Ha! I called this back when the troop movement was announced.

All we need now is some video footage of crying kids missing daddy and it’ll be complete.

Mattis is the most read man in America, and clearly knows of this trick which crystallized relatively recently when Egypt attacked Israel on Yom Kippur and more recently with the Shoe Bomber on Christmas. Always expect the enemy to not respect your traditions or try to use them against you.

[dp0622]

Lol

And dam proud!!

But I didn’t really work hard for my money so I owe it to the less fortunate. /extreme sarcasm :)

[Leep]

Critics...any relation to “anonymous source”?

[USS Alaska]

You, me and millions more service folks, missed much more than a Thanksgiving Dinner, but not as much as the millions that were killed or wounded in all the wars {police actions} or whatever the politicians are calling it today.

Civilians that never served, should thank a vet {BTW, thanks to Applebees for a free Veterans Day Dinner}, thank God for the USA, and be quiet...shhhhhhh.

That is so much better.

[LibWhacker]

Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Just who are these critics trying to appeal to, the dumbest people on earth, their constituency?

[Mollypitcher1]

That’s for sure. 100% correct as I well know.

[patro]

[NorthMountain]

I'm really tired of hearing blather and drivel from "critics". What have "critics" ever actually done?

[Mollypitcher1]

For them, everything is all about “feelings.” Not two brain cells to rub together among the lot of them.

[Boomer]

Using that logic; why not just give all police, firefighters, and EMT’s time off between the Weds before Thanksgiving and January 2nd?

Need any during that time? You’re just SOL. You die or your house burns up.
