Your eyes must hurt, eh? I said MY world was black and white. I KNOW what I believe and live by. I make NO claim for your world.

It's a hard life. I can't imagine being called "sweet cakes" Whew, that could scar a person for life. :rolleyes:

Major cold front came through.

This is the very reason that I have practical objections to the death penalty. You cannot reverse dead. I have NO problems "nuking" a criminal but I hate the idea of the possible mistake.

I wonder what some of the "political correctness" group would have to say about some of the USO shows that Bob Hope and others did during WWII and 'Nam? Man, some of the stuff I heard at one that Dean Martin did would have landed him in jail these days. IT WAS REALLY FUNNY. Can you imagine Don...

I understand.

Yes Greg, I know it is VERY bad. Several of the military people I know are getting out as soon as their current enlistments are up. They are fed up with what is going on. They are fed up with dealing with wimps. Fed up with orders from "on high" that are getting them maimed and killed. They have...

"From the sound of it, I think you need to "Chug on over to namby pamby land" and stop your whining about how bad it is here, of all places, the greatest nation of all the world." I did my duty, with honor and integrity. I am NOT required to agree with you on your beliefs about this Nation. I...

Most of us who were in the military during a different era got called every name in the book, EVERYONE was made fun of. Got get rid of weaklings who can't handle a LITTLE stress like that. Can't handle that you can't handle REAL stuff, like getting shot at. Keep in mind, EVERYONE who is in the...

Yep, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. Our CIC and his numbgut appointees are implimenting all kinds of rules that insure that MORE of our military get KILLED than need be. These are VILE people we have in charge. Like having to "read a suspected bomber" their "Rights" or NOT be allowed...

In the "old days", before political correctness we USED to be able to "weed out" weaklings, cry babies and whiners in basic training. That was done by the DI's when they "got in peoples faces". Called them names, cussed at them, rode them HARD and put them away wet. If you can't handle that you...

Due to our system, which I agree with, those people who do have the rank and experience to deal with this correctly are TOLD what to do by those who have NO clue. Just the nature of the beast.

Things are not likely to be as they seem on the surface.

I knew a few who put their way through school, most I knew did not. You know, as well as I do, that you have to maintain your affairs while in the military. No one pays your bills, balances your check book etc. Many kids today EXPECT their parents to pay the freight for them. Even this...

I said those in charge today, not you. Not EVERYONE is as stupid about real life as Obama is. There are somethings that would be more difficult to understand without first hand experience but an INTELLIGENT person ASKS QUESTIONS before acting. I believe that YOU would ask IF you were ever in...

What's new? Lack of experience and context. I expect nothing less from those in charge today. They are really behind the eight ball when it come to REALITY!! Must be all the kool aid.

Will a kinder, gentler more sensitive work place make it easier to "break things and kill people"? I mean, after all, that IS the purpose of the military.

She did not pick a MOS in advance? That would be rather odd. Sounds like she has a recruiter that is not up on things. I have not known anyone in today's all volunteer service who does NOT enlist for a specific MOS. She will be treated according to her abilities AND her attitude. She needs to...

The biggest difference between college and the military is that military personal are ON THEIR OWN. They earn a paycheck, take care of their own bills, they are independent ADULTS. They support themselves. That is NOT the case for LARGE numbers of colleges students. Their parents PAY their...

The military is losing it's best commanders far too quickly. Our military is being run by a bunch of "social engineers" with ZERO experience or understanding of who and what they control. The military is not the place for "social experiments". That is NOT it's purpose. It is wrong to be...
