You're quite the delusional fellow...
I never said I was a Ranger. Had a couple of good buddies who served in the 75th, and a few others who were green-beenies.
But I've never jumped out of a perfectly good aircraft (although, I figure if George Bush Sr. can do it at 70+, maybe I might give it a try myself).
Btw, you can blame your manchurian candidate, slick willie. After he cut the budget by 40%, the training money dried up and the BS became intolerable.
And when I saw distinquished NCOs getting kicked out merely for incurring a DUI (guilty or not), and they introduced "stress cards" and low-impact basic training, I figured I didn't want to risk my life with "today's military".
And because of your buddy, there are over 1 million delinquent PSI background investigations pending, many of which are SBIs and SSBI level.
And considering they were shipping folks over to fun-loving placed like Kosovo and Bosnia, it seemed like a good time to leave.
So what's your excuse, Slushman? Did you violate the "don't ask, don't tell" policy?
