Quit that MERCENARY work for corporations and re-up. I actually thought about it, but I've been out since 1998, so I thought I could do more good as a contractor. And I did. I received a number of certificates of appreciation for my services, using my skills to do what most soldiers were unable to do because most DOD civilians don't want to deploy to Iraq. And I'm very proud of my service and what I feel is the impact I had on some critical operations. I actually thought about staying for another 6 months because I was afraid that they would not be able to find another person who could perpetuate the programs I had implemented. Fortunately, I was able to train someone to maintain some continuity. I figured 1 1/2 years out of my life was enough for now.. I always keep the option open of returning, but for now, I'm unemployed (self-employed trader, I guess). As for your hatred for corporations, I guess that makes you a leech on the back of capitalism, eh? After all, I take it you paid for your house with the profits from trading corporate stock, right?? What does that make you?? A parasite?... ;0) There are some wars I'd fight, but not this one. I'd go to jail or Canada first. Dude, I don't think you'd have the b*lls to fight for anything.. They only thing you fight for is oxygen, because you're head's so far up your @ss. Btw, why don't you go to Canada now? I wouldn't mind.. And I don't think you'd find much resistance from anyone else out here. Now who's lonely? Hawk
