I know a lot of Iraq vets that have come home and faced discrimination for being a veteran. When their veteran status is mentioned, the businesses won't hire them, most because they're still in the Reserves and they don't want to deal with an employee getting called back to war.

When I told this to some conservatives once and talked about a friend who was having those problems, he said "You're full of hot air. Tell your whiny friend to suck it up, things are tough all over."

This is why after a few years in the military, I turned liberal. The conservatives will put yellow magnets on their car, but when push comes to shove, they would rather we be homeless.

United States Army Intelligence Officer , ROTC, files a false report against Geral Sosbee and then, in apparent concert with the fbi/police fraudulent attempted sting and criminal assault (by a low level operative) against Sosbee, the government thugs seek a way to imprison him.

What I got out of this song, the writer was saying how those Neocons were the cowards, not so much those of the Conservative base.

Interesting story but sad also. Conservatives will be the first ones to put your life on the line for your country.

When I got back from 'Nam I couldn't put 'Veteran' on a job application and wearing a uniform in public was inviting outrage, with verbal abuse being the minimum.

30 years later. In 2000, the DOD and VA said there were just over 700,000 of the 2.7 million 'boots on the ground' 'Nam vets left alive. The Census that year had 13.4 million men claiming they were 'Nam vets. Those numbers generated the 'Stolen Valor Act', making misrepresentation of veteran status a Federal offense.

I've met a whole lot of 'camo' wearing 'vets' who didn't know what 'di di mau' meant, and if you were in 'Nam, you learned it quick. Liars.

False patriots aren't confined to a 'side'.

Well on behalf of all of us who have served this country proudly and are CONSERVATIVE, I'm not afraid to tell you that your hatred of myself and my entire family (most of us have served our country) and of all of the other CONSERVATIVES whpo proudly serve EVERY DAY, that you have proven only one thing by this poll. You are complete trailer trash. When this country is attacked again (and it will happen), just don't run around asking to be defended by any of us 'Neocons', since your opinion of all of us as a whole, is so completely disgusting!!! BTW, you and all your buddies can knock yourself out insulting me all youwant, but after this post, your opinion and your 'supporters' opinions, count for shit and that goes for your opinions on anything, so you and your pot smoking 'homies' will all be ignored anyway, you HATEFUL, UNPATRIOTIC, POS!!!

I saw nothing in the piece that offended the people who serve. It was pointing out the hypocrisy of sending troops off to war while never serving themselves.

Oranged... to grumpy 2009/12/01 01:43:10

the awards theyve received disagree with you. besides, there are more useful ways to serve than merely being cannon fodder. how long do you think the ground troops would last if they didnt have someone monitoring the area via satellite? are the nurses and doctors that treat the troops less deserving of prase just b/c they werent on the front lines?

every troop plays an important role, regardless of their position on a battlefield

yea the clerks always rise to the top, hence gore's global warming war that will make the casualties of the Civil War look like a day in the park, and Ted Kennedy spent his to years in survival training and under water rescue

and? what exactly does that prove?

reply
grumpy to Oranged... 2009/12/01 02:34:01

libs mentality is to stay in the rear with the gear,

reply
Oranged... to grumpy 2009/12/01 03:03:15

and the conservatives mentality is to not bother serving at all.

regardless, as i pointed out previously, without the people who "stay in the rear with the gear" the foot soldiers would be blind in the field and would never be able to accomplish anything

reply
grumpy to Oranged... 2009/12/01 03:30:47

you must have been 1 of the ones in the rear trying to appear as if your part of the war fighters

reply
Oranged... to grumpy 2009/12/01 04:49:39

your profile name suits you well, grumpy, although i might change it to "ignorant" if i were you. how many times do i have to point out that just b/c you arent on the front line doesnt mean you arent contributing to the overall effort.

let me try it this way. in a theatrical production, the ones that go out and do the visible acting are the ones that capture the audience's main attention. but if it werent for the numerous crew members running the lightboard or changing scenery or helping out with costume changes, the show would be a flop. does that clarify it at all?

reply
grumpy to Oranged... 2009/12/02 01:45:36

sounds like a gay thing, and as I said earlier you must have been in the rear with the gear and what to be called a war hero

reply
Oranged... to grumpy 2009/12/03 19:06:51

when did i ever say i was a war hero? i've never served in the military

and its not gay, it takes skill, teamwork and talent

reply
grumpy to Oranged... 2009/12/07 02:09:45

your talking about theatre which is predominately a gay enterprise
your words inferred that you were experienced in the military arms

reply
Oranged... to grumpy 2009/12/07 15:02:15

the theatre is not a "gay enterprise," which just enhances the ignorance you are showing, and even if it were gay that doesnt change the message that i was trying to convey.

maybe i should try it in a way a prejudiced southerner might understand. IN NASCAR, THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE HELPING OUT THE DRIVER LIKE THE PIT CREW AND THAT GUY WITH THE HEADSET. EVEN THOUGH THEYRE NOT THE PEOPLE DRIVING, WITHOUT THEM THE DRIVER WOULD NOT WIN.

did you understand that?

and just b/c i have never served in the military does not mean i do not understand the concepts and strategies behind warfare. a recent technological breakthrough is allowing the Air Force to pilot remote surveillance craft deep into enemy territory to detect enemies and relay their locations to ground troops, preventing possible ambushes. does the fact that theyre sitting behind a computer desk make them any less patriotic or brave? theyre just as useful and necessary as the infantry, but according to you, they dont deserve recognition because theyre "bringing up the rear"

reply
grumpy to Oranged... 2009/12/07 18:18:09

unfortunately with barak as president the guys guiding the UAVs can't use their missiles unless Nato gives approval, that's the outcome of gear in the rear and this pres. useless as tits on a boar hog

reply
Oranged... to grumpy 2009/12/08 03:24:42

so now youve digressed from debating to name-calling. how mature and original.
