You might want to email the taxpayer funded community college for allowing this drivel into a taxpayer funded student newspaper. I would provide an email link except the last time I checked the email link for the paper was down.

Grammatical errors are in the orginal article. This is typed letter for letter and word for word to the original.

Veterans and military members and families need to let the student know what they think about her opinion.

Any words to say on this article. You have interviewed a lot of veterans.

The punctuation is reason enough to fear for the future of the educated class.

There is so much sub-caliber writing in legitimate "grown up" newspapers that it almost seems unfair to pick on college newspapers -- where half-baked nonsense is expected.

I'm alerting my friend in Spokane about this POS. He's a retired EOD type, VietNam vet with time in South America fighting communists. I'll let him know he has one in his backyard.

So some community college comando is suggesting those who join the military are "underachieving". I wonder if this bozo has any idea of the percentage of active duty that have degrees and often advanced degrees.

Typical Red Diaper Doper Baby, he knows he hates America and yearns for its demise, but if you would ask him what he would replace it with, he couldn't begin give any kind of meaningful answer.

Try this. I couldn't get the opinion page to load so maybe somebody else can suceed. I find the article pretty darn typical of indymedia talk.

This woman's an abominable piece of crap. I've NEVER felt so much ill will towards the writer of an article I read online as I do towards her, and that's taking into account all the Maureen Dowd and Michael Moore articles I've read! How such a putrid piece of crap came to be I have no idea. She talks about brainwashing? What kind of brainwashing did SHE undergo in order to believe this kind of crap? Utterly disgusting.

What she and most liberals don't believe is there are actually some things worth dying for. It's that simple. They don't understand courage.

Editor in Chief Jenna Balberg indeed.

I am sure she is a real expert on the military; what it is and what it does. Most offensive is her assertion that the military is populated by people who had no other place to go, and that any training you get in the military is useless.

Some of our country's most talented, dedicated and motivated people populate our military. Just because they aren't making the almighty dollar doesn't automatically make members of our armed forces dolts. Of course, people like Jenna Balberg don't like it when people make money...globalists and capitalists are just evil exploiters of people in her world.

I would argue that military training is much more valuable than any training you can receive at a place like Spokane Falls Community College or many other colleges (but particularly Spokane Falls CC). Military training teaches you how to follow orders. It teaches you how to be on time. It teaches you how to live and really get along with others, not just some PC bullsh*t that mandates you appear to get along with them. It teaches you responsibility. But most of all, it teaches you leadership.

Leadership is severely lacking in industry and education in this country. There are a lot of managers, but a scarcity of true leaders.

This pathetic, ungrateful, unwashed rumpswab should be forced to walk the wards at Walter Reed or Bethesda. These men are the ones who give her the privilege and opportunity to shoot off her filthy mouth. Boy, people like her really tick me off.

Two things One you could have warned us with a MEGA BARF ALERT, and isn't this the same CC that ran off a military recruiter not too long ago?

Wow. I don't know where to begin. The writing style was just terrible and I didn't see one supported argument in this nonsense. Anyway, I'm active duty military and this "article" is so far from reality that it would be comical...IF the poor idiot didn't actually believe what she wrote. It seems that all of her knowledge of the military came from bad movies and maybe some brain-rotting garbage like DU. I'm surprised that she didn't accuse us of eating babies. This article was a window into a very sad, hateful, and terribly misinformed soul.

Words have absolutely failed me.

Im not a veteran. Im a 22 year old college student. But this article is a slap in the face to my grandfathers, father, friends currently serving in the armed forces, and everyone else who has worn the uniform so that this marxist TWIT can feel important publishing inflammatory articles in her podunk community college paper.

She doesn't understand why people join the military.

Honor, duty, and sacrifice are something these people can not and will not ever understand.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

She needn't worry.

Maybe we can get thru via this e-mail...the communicator's e-mail is down

I sent a little note and told whoever got the message to give it to Ms. Balberg and the liberal whack-job lily Morris:

I hate to admit this but my dtr's longtime best friend is one of the editor's at this little trash of a school paper.....she is a nice enough person but has got into drugs and free sex and is living life a little risky...(which has made their friendship tenuous at best).

I haven't read this paper, but my dtr brought home one from several weeks ago that made my blood boil....basically it was one big advertisement for the strip club at State Line, Idaho, where the said "friend" works, btw....

its disgusting and I don't know how people can support such crap.....
