About all one can say is ------well I can not even find the words as stories such as this both sadden my heart and fill me with anger. The worse thing about this is that we can not even blame it all on the government (party not withstanding) for the largest share of shame and anger must be placed on the American public. It is a shame that those who do not serve and sit back loving on their children and sweeties at night and drink beer with their buddies while watching the Sunday NFL games could be so greedy. They want it all, freedom, the American way of life, safety and the sports cars, beer, sex, good salaries etc.... without paying for it with either their lives or money. Back pats, yahoos and yellow ribbions they don't mind but when it comes to an extra few dollars out of their beloved pay checks to provide medical care and earnings to a young man like the one in the story just to help him live some sort of normal life they will turn their heads. I have over heard many times some of the beefy ladies men say "hell tell the worthless piece of crap to get a job" as they listened to stories such as this on the news. "I have to work to make a living" they say as they laugh at the young veteran in the news story. What a bunch of ignorant, selfish and undeserving SOB's. I just shake my head and think to myself "I hope when they come to our shores, no matter who they are, they take your loved ones and your way of live first you SOB". I am sorry but when the enemy does come, and they will some day, to this country I wish each and every one of them finally find out what suffering truly is. One day the veterans of this country will win. Maybe it will be when we are all gone, maybe such a thing as Hadit won't exist any more but the veterans will win as they take up arms to defend this country on familar shores and watch ole beefy wh*&( hopper shake in his shoes and urinate on himself. jmho. If my post is to offensive please remove it. I just had to get it off my chest.

Thank you for saying this so well, I could obfsucate much more but what you said is well written../.

Right on, but what story are you referring to?

The Draft could be a good thing as long as everbody both male and female of an age had to serve. No getting out of it just because of some minor physical problem like most of the professional athletes did by claiming trick knees and such. I met all kinds of people. I did not like living in a barracks but it did mix in many classes of people. If they can do it in Israel why can't we do it here. They all serve and seem proud to do it.

Agrees with you John, of course there will be 'waivers' if a draft occurs. One can only imagine waivers and $$$$$$$ made by attorneys to prove them up. cg

This story in itself could be a "trigger" post for some, but is important nonetheless:
