They didn't want to serve with someone they believe would not serve up to their standards. I say bull shit. I served with draftees and even men who were sentenced to serve instead of jail time. And they were great guys who did their jobs. Some even made it a career. Minds and hearts change as the environment changes. They would serve and fight as hard as the volunteers. They want to stat alive, too.<br /><br />LL, I got a chuckle out of your nicknames. Not only the inability to call a spade a spade, much of the military experience is enough to turn me off. I served proudly and suffered the day to day bullshit, but I would never tell my mom'ma that treated me badly. I would have suffered more if I had. But I have to say, our guys are fighting with almost nothing and winning - as far as we can go. I think we should bomb them day and night until even the ants are afraid to come above ground.<br />Coffeypothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944074653548750642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31409757.post-57055994242953288172016-03-09T16:01:01.517-05:002016-03-09T16:01:01.517-05:00It's a tough pill to swallow, but all of that ...It's a tough pill to swallow, but all of that is precisely true. It's not even satirical. I'm glad that I'm out. The bureaucratic stress of not being able to call an enemy Mooselim by an appropriate name (dune coon, rag head, sand n-----, etc) alone is reason enough to find other gainful employment.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31409757.post-18609915858513333002016-03-09T15:40:48.774-05:002016-03-09T15:40:48.774-05:00You forgot the biggie.
