Matman Wrote:Listen here kid. I told you i have no problem with gays in the military. My problems are about timing. Maybe you should learn to read. I was on active duty. I was one of the first companies into Iraq in the invasion. Now i'm in the reserves. I gave it up because of my family and more money. However i still felt i need to have a commitment. I then was deployed again with the reserves. You are nothing but a fobbit and don't have enough time in service to know what you talking about. You have no clue. And yes i know a few things about medics. I was in charge of two while deployed. They got attached to my platoon. And i made it clear, felons can not serve without a waiver. With fewer waivers that means fewer felons. The high recruitment levels will do away with the waivers therefore doing a way with felons.

I agree, bad timing. I don't care at all what they do about this subject just do it when we are not so **** busy. You know that there will be some soldiers out there that want to protest and **** like that. I really don't want to see that right now...we need unity. Especially with the war right now and if we want the public on our side.

BTW are you and E-7 or E-8? I just got E-3 Tongue

irateSho.

I'm an E7. Thats my only arguement about the whole situation. Outside of that, its over my paygrade to make those descissions.

I gotta say this thread has run dry. But I must say the worst arguement made was in favor of it, but was about the tax payers. If you ask me, NONtaxpayers should be MADE to serve. That could be their contribution. haha.

Which leads me to my next thread... The Draft. Should be interesting. We have too many military, and too many wannabe's for it not to.

Are you ignoring the question Mr. Kimball?

Why does it matter?? His points about military issues are less relevant because of it? If so, then here's a secret.. Obama didn't serve.. and he became my commander. Clinton as well. Unlike Reagan, Bush 1, and Bush 2. All officers in the military.

Thank you for your service to our great country.:USAFlag:

**DevilsWin** · 10-22-2009, 03:45 PM

Hey, just to let you boys serving know that I'm a Vet too.

In fact as the old saying goes, "I was in Baghdad when you were still in your Dad's Bag."

So don't jump in my grill expecting some kinda special treatment.

Thanks for your service.

Do a good job.

You and I both know what the rank and files opinions are on Officers.:dontthink

No, WE don't know. But you may have an opinion that represents your views.

If you want to represent my view accurately, then let me first tell you.

Officers, including Admiral Mullen, down to the OCS recruit in training, have my upmost respect and I learn from their guidance daily as well as my Non Commissioned Officers that bust their butt to see this military meet every goal set for it. Maybe you've had to stand at attention and salute a desk or two in your past, which would explain your poor attitude. However, those who respect the military, respect the rank. I'm priveledged and quite to serve with and at the pleasure of my chain of command, and have yet to meet a disrespectful officer.

These are honorable americans who could have used their bachelor and post bachelors degree to get a MUCH better paying job that offers MORE time at home, and more geographical security, but instead chose a path that seldom gets the thanks it surely deserves. And to have you come on a public forum and vomit out such language offends me, and many others.

Thanks for your service, but you're much better suited behind your computer, than behind whatever rank you once thought you deserved. :redboxer:

Maybe when you were in but todays military deserves respect at every rank. Something you apparently did not learn.

Is this in response to me? I never asked for anything from you especially "special treatment".
