RE:"Do you even know what a typical soldier earns?"

Sure I do...not a whole lot. But then there is the GI bill for education and that amounts to a tidy sum. Heck, the army uses all this to get volunteers. Then there are the weekend warriors in the reserves...How many of them actually thought they would ever do time in a war zone?

Tell your sob story to the dead. You all are such tight asses. Its all about the money and how much will come out of your pockets. Thank God the guys over there don't know how you all think.

:"You can't find any four years of contiguous peace in the history of this country"

After the Viet Nam war was over in 1975 what war did we get into within 4 years?

When was Lebanon? The contra affair? Nicaragua? El Salvador? Grenada? There's always some altercation into which we manage to stick our noses. This country is one of the most militaristic on the planet. Deal with it!
