Well Rob...That's where we differ, AND where many of the people on this website here will REALLY get upset with me. BUT I DON'T CARE, because I DON'T BELIEVE IN POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IN ANY FORM.


The BRAVE men in uniform AIN'T ALL HEROS in my book! There swingin' dicks, like you and me, doin' the freakin' JOB that they SIGNED UP to do.

AND...I'm sick and tired of THAT TERM being applied across the board to any one of those kids who do sign up.

The Military is a freakin' USEFULL business like anything else on this planet. And the sooner we de-glamorize it, THE BETTER.

I agree with some of your points and disagree with others...but then thats why there called opinions...It is unlikely that I will change yours or you mine...

but as a quick point (yeah right like thats gonna happen) Many of these KIDS didn't sign up for that job...they signed up for an education and saw the military as their only shot...and ignored the obvious JOB of the military...or went with the age old KID thought..."it won't happen to me"

as far as the "swinging dick" part I got a cousin who might take offence to that as SHE is san's that particular piece of genitalia and served for many years...

Political Correctness...HA that is the BANE of this country in my book! Many of those HEROS died so that don't HAVE to be Politicaly correct!

As far as glamorizing...well I can't think of a single thing about the military that would strike me a glamorous...but I know where your going!

You're right again when you say they "ain't all heros" (gramaticly incorrect but the content is there) but MANY are, and MANY more than get the little ribbon to prove it...and MANY of those who "serve" there country will NEVER get the chance for the ribbon/medal/award...yet they quietly serve there country here at home holding down two (or more) jobs, to pay the bills, because Mom or Dad isn't home and hasn't been for two years...and there "JOB" pays sooo welll that they have no problem sending all the WADS of cash back home so Mom/Dad can pay the rent.

So are they all Heros....nope but a Damm sight more of them are then we'll ever know...because it does'nt make good TV

and quit frankly these people are making sacrafices every day! that I can't or won't (I'ld last all of 10 seconds in the military, then some one who I thought was a schmuck but who outraked me would tell me to do something ...and I'ld tell him/her to get stuffed...then would come the pushing and the shoving and it would end with me behind bars)
