Free Republic Military?

Posted on 05/16/2005 8:38:26 AM PDT by Guard Dog

I just read a post on conservative blog that stated few freepers were veterans (implication was that we were chicken hawks). Having conversed with many of you and met a few, I do not believe that is the case. But it did get me wondering, who among us is active or prior service veterans? Awright you freeper vets SOUND OFF!

Frankly I'm fed up with the chicken-hawk crap.

Apparently the liberals argue that only vet's have the right to decide whether the country fights. Do they really think that veterans are going to side with them in any geat numbers?

And if it is to be a rule that you have to be a veteran to decide to fight then should only be combat veterans have a say? Why should a former chaplain's asst. in Fort Monmouth NJ have more say than a businessman in Atlanta. And if its only combat vets maybe it should only be wounded combat vets. And if its only wounded vets do guys with several Purple hearts get multiple votes?

Silly

Don't know if I count. Navy daughter, Army wife and Army mom. Dad decorated WWII and Korean vet, husband decorated Vietnam vet, daughter bronze service star Iraqi Freedom vet. I did my time waiting and praying, also educating soldiers since 1987. We were just talking about packing up our Education Center and going to Iraq for a week or two. In a heartbeat.

I've been a typist for the Navy, Army, and Air Force. (And their grammar has really gone downhill since they lost me!)
