Which "innocent" comment would that be?

As to your maturity, of course. I think it is on level with a five year old. But hey, if you are proud of it, more power to you.

The service members always have a choice whether or not to follow those decisions.
Wow, you're ignorant. You truly have no clue about even one aspect of the US military.

either way, have fun. if you didn't sign the papers yet, get another job. 15P is ALLLLLLL office work, lame, trust me, you will hardly ever see the helicopters.

And yes I would complain about a terrorist attack. I would complain about how it is the result of the abuse of the worlds population by the U.S. military complex.
that is a freedom that is kept free here by the US military. If you haven't served then how can you form your "educated" opinion of our military? I am just tired of the military bashing that I see. Normally opinions are formed by people that haven't served. You would argue that our military actions caused 9/11 and other terrorist attacks on western targets? That is absurd. Maybe if you had met some of these terrorists face to face you would understand that their hatred goes much deeper than that.

How lame, to suggest that one needs to serve to understand what the is going on.

Then you must be completely clueless. Again, the United States provided Iraq with both conventional weapons and WMD's in the 80's. He then used those weapons to attack Kuwait. Then, after we kicked him out of Kuwait, we imposed sanctions on the country, that resulted in the deah of hundreds of thousands of civilians, mostly women and children. Then we make up an excuse to attack the country, which has resulted in the death of up to one million civilians, because of thousands of daily sorties done by the U.S. military. Are youi telling me if another country had done this to us, that you would not be just as pissed?

Not at all. Which means I have not had nearly as much government propaganda shoved down my throat.

So in other words, you're speaking from the outside about **** going on in the inside.

You don't have eyes on, so you have no clue what you're talking about.

It seems you are the one without eyes on. I can read about what those have said that have. No need for me to go there myself.

And here are some statistics about the "War in Iraq". Again, no need for me to have served.

So do you have anything worthwhile to say? Or are you simply a nationalist. Here is an article you should read: Why Germans Supported Hitler, Part 1. You might learn something.

Of course everyone has an agenda. That does not make it false.

Congrats... you can quote biased sources that are maybe half-truths.

My eyes are on... I've been in the thick of it, I've personally witnessed **** go down, I've seen bad, I've seen worse.

I think is great that you are serving, I just think that targerting young guys like you with big numbers like 15k is not the right thing to do. Thing is you will get half of that when taxes pull through which the governemnt gets back.

Truth is 15k is not going ot be that much when you get older.
