I suppose our little Venezuelan coward volunteered for the US Army. You know nothing yet you are ready to condemn.

You are worse than a coward.

Afghanistan is a hopeless sinkhole.

You guys sure show one thing. None of you have ever served. Nor have any of you dimwits ever done any critical thinking.

Military life is rough, no doubt about it. Free housing, three squares a day, cheap postage stamps, free clothing, free training, free education, free medical care, … .

I served eight years, got my degree, my wings, a lot of hours, and prepared me for my current job. RTFA, it even mentions a Warrant Officer learning advanced math so he can teach when he returned to civilian life. And instead of complaining of being in a war zone, he was making the best of it. Guys like him deserve credit and my respect. Idiots that post like you three don’t.

When you volunteer though, don’t cry about what you volunteered for. It’s unbecoming.

#14 Thanks for your deep thoughts. Again, don’t lose that busdriver job you have. The only thing available for you is toilet scrubbing & shoe store clerk.

Eff yourself.

This soldier managed to come online at a great time for him, at just the right assignment. And he’s complaining. Which means he really is an idiot.

As for the cost to keep them over there supposedly doing “nothing”… they are there for the same reason you have firefighters sitting at your local firestation “doing nothing” all day and night.

Would you like to stop paying them too?

It would cost roughly 10X as much to dump in troops in the case of real emergencies there, rather than keeping them in the area until we’re sure things are settled and having them do busywork.

I see no problem, for now.

Don’t cry for me. You fell for the advertising and decided to join the “Army of One”. You get to play with things that go “BOOM”. You can drive real big trucks and shoot a lot of guns without having to pay for the bullets. GI Joe all the way. I can’t respect someone crying about how tough military life is.

If you didn’t know that someone might shoot back then you really aren’t bright enough to be in the US Army. The US Army is an occupying force. Expect that the occupied might resent it.

And yes, I did my bit so eff yourself before you even think otherwise.

Please don’t act so hastily to think that service members don’t deserve some downtime to play sports or chat on the Internet. The job is 24 hours on-call with no weekends or days off. You 14 days at home in 12 months and you have to watch your children grow up over a Skype connection, and someone is ready and willing to take your life.

Soldiers don’t make policy but we put ourselves on the line because we swore an oath to do so.

Seriously though…BRING OUR TROOPS HOME! Our Founding Fathers (which the right wing loves to pretend to love) never wanted a standing Army, much less a ‘profit’ motivated mostly sub-contracted (with no bid contracts to firms financially connected to President or Vice President) sort of Army. You DO agree with the Founding Fathers and like the idea of an unchanging Constitution/moral/philosophical static time. So if a standing Army was bad 200 years ago it’s bad today! No ‘modern’ relativistic “times have changed” bullshit. If it was bad then, it’s bad now, right!

Iraq is MORE than capable of handling random gunmen and a few roadside bombs. What the F**K are we doing there? We can have enough troops (10k) in the area (Kuwait, Western Europoe) to provide help if something really goes bad, but we don’t need 100K troops just sitting over there playing cards and going on ‘patrol’. STOP SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON WASTEFUL UN-NEEDED GOVERNMENT ACTIONS…right fellow Republicans?

pedro, pedro, our little bastard donkey fooker, you are being very rude again. that “stench” you smell is probably your a**h**e from all the goat and donkey dicks that have visited. And I guess the gay part of the fifth fleet. I heard most of them walked away because your a**h**e was so stretched out of shape and your teeth scratched their weenies.

please stop being so rude. it doesn’t matter if this is an op-ed or not, you attacked the idea, not the substance. I know, you are too fooking retarded to understand. the gringos have this saying you might heed, “don’t shoot the messenger”. it would do you well to learn that lesson.

your dick is lonely without you to clean that drainage from his little erection. maybe your tongue has good healing properties, but poor dick wants you to take care of his dick. just brush your teeth first. please.
