    Actually, my father served so it is far from sheltered.

    You are FREE to disagree with the current world conflict. As a matter of fact, the right to disagree is what troops are SUPPOSED to be defending. 

    Unfortunately, a lot on here like yourself, would make good Nazi sympathizers (with your obsequious reverence for American war efforts) if you were born in Germany 90 years ago, and probably would have a swastika on your upper arm with the attitude projected through your posts. It's all relative.

    By the way, taking your thumb out of your ass to place your hand over your heart to salute the flag is a distasteful way to honor this country.

    I've heard military hot-heads use it in the way I stated. Maybe you didn't, but perhaps you should condemn your modern-day brothers for inferring it instead of ratcheting up their already out-of-control testosterone levels and expanding their heads to be as big as a hot-air balloons with posts like these.

    this from a guy who isn't opposed to molesting children on live TV

    Think about who the ass is here (and who wants to cop it)...

    Keep your hands in your own pants...the youth of America will be that much safer.

    BTW, I probably have jeans older than you and I don't appreciate ANYONE telling me to GFM.

    That statement was directed at anyone who would tell me to stand in front of their gun. I'll back off given your explanation for yourself. Keep in mind we might go to the mall after WORK but our tax dollars pay each and every one of your respective salaries (and any other benefits you receive 'post-service').

    Serving our country is largely an economic decision for most who decide to sign up for it, not necessarily a morally or honorable one. You are paid for your service. Not much I admit, but there are benefits.

    That's a major reason the gov't threw college education benefits towards new recruits. Serve 4 years = get college paid for = make a better life for yourself. Of course, that is largely a lie when you come back home but many recruiters for jobs lie so it's not unusual.

    I went in the Corps in 1965, I volunteered, but I would have been drafted had I not joined. $88/mo. 3 hots and a cot.

    Don't run your head about something you know nothing about. I went to war b/c it was expected as a Patriot of this great Nation.

    BTW,,I only wish I could have done more.

    Scal-You commi liberal piece of shit.  I hope your whole family gets taken out in a car crash.  You deserve to suffer as a POW.  I hope your sister gets treated like a red headed step child, the person that she is.

    You can disagree with America's policies, and support this waste of a president we have.  But to not support people who fight a war for our freedom is disgusting.  My best freind is a Navy Seal, and is serving another 6 months in afgan.  Apache, you got support from all your covers brothers that arent morons.

    Scal, die a long death and your family too.

    Wasn't talking about you specifically. More about the modern day soldier. 

    I know plenty about it btw. My father served, told me about all his experiences, and  did everything in his power to invest in my future (i.e. education) and wanted me to have NO PART of the service. There are many more ex-servicemen who live and tell the same tale. That should tell you something about military service in America. 

    Nonetheless, it is a necessity for a country to function autonomously. I'd say thanks but given what I said before (despite the retraction) it's highly improbably you'd accept it so I won't do so...

    or what?


    Freedom of speech brotha.  If I don't like uber-militant's parading their ideals all over a forum, I have a right to display my disinterest with it.  Yeah Yeah Yeah, you're part of the greatest generation or whatever, and America is great b/c of you and all that cal, but seriously, maybe if you didn't bring it up like every 5 minutes just how fucking great the USMC is, you wouldn't get responses like Scalabrines.  I don't think he's trying to disrespect Vets and I know I'm not.  Just gets annoying when on a daily basis theres some junk being posted about how Military people are the greatest people of all time, and how I should bow down to them and whatnot.  So you served in the military.  Good for you.  Leave it at that.

    Guys thanks for the stories. Myself and the people of this country need more of it.  Good shot of reality for those of us grinding it out every day but dont regularly experience the reality of the sacrifice.

    Scalabrine, Im sorry you are so miserable pal.  Too bad you cant appreciate your fathers sacrifice.  Maybe when you wake up in your parents basement in the morning with an orange dick and an empty bag of cheetos on your floor you can manage to go tell your Dad you are proud of him and thanks.  But instead you will break out your thesaurus and come up with some piss ant liberal words to reinforce that you are a real asswipe.  Keep up your internet strong willed life bud cuz you are too much of a bitch to make it in the real world anyway.
