I'm not sure if y'all heard this story or not, I don't recall seeing it in the RW .. but this kinda umm.. pisses me off. Mind you, most of you know I'm not America's biggest fan (that's not up for debate or argument so don't trip on me) .. but I take offense to his actions. I'm not against his view against the war .. no, he has a right to his opinion .. BUT:
1. If he was against the war, citing it is 'illegal', why wait until he is being deployed before saying anything? Hmmm.... coincidence?
2. If I'm not mistaken, the last time he took a shit before being sworn in as a member of the United States military was the last time his ass actually belonged to him. You don't join for college benefits, an extra paycheck or whatever reason you talked to the recruiter about. The bottom line is you are a soldier, period, and you do as your commander, even if it's President Bush, tells you to do. The benefits are just that benefits and not the purpose.
C. I'm offended on behalf of my father, uncles, grandfathers, etc, who served their country, like it or not, and got completely fucked for it (medical benefits taken away, retirement pay lessened, diseases, PTSD, etc) as well as the families - parents, spouses and children especially - who make just as many sacrifices when this jerk comes home (to Hawai'i, of course *sigh*) for the HOLIDAYS before his hearing. Umm.. last I looked, no one stationed in Iraq got to come home for the holidays ... and they didn't turn their back on the job they VOLUNTARILY signed up for. Grrrr...
ok .. umm.. I'm done venting
