...operations.

I served 12 years with the 82nd Airborne Divison...with the 325. I took part in Operation Urgent Fury in '83...Operation Just Cause in '89...I was part of the very first troops to be sent to Saudi in '90 which was to become known as Desert Shield...and was part of Operation Desert Storm...when my career was ended.

Stand up and be counted...I salute you.

I'm just gonna back out of this thread and shut the fuck up...

People do what they think is right and who is the judge? Not me.

Why is it that almost every "war" since WW2 is actually "tainted" with other political bullshit? I can only think of one "just" police action since WW2 - the rest were bollocks - at a cost.

Only a total fucking loser would join the... ah forget it..

... yes, you gotta be a complete idiot or come from a poor background.

... although most here would probably die for their country. <at least through the keyboard>

I prefer not to be used as a tool of the government to push its imperialistic agenda.

Anybody who's proud of being in the army is a retard.

I feel sorry for those who have to join the army because they can't get any other jobs in their areas.

I am not a "complete idiot" and I did not come from a poor background. I come from a long line of professional soldiers. It was a vocation that I chose after I received an AA at JC...at the age of 22. My mentor wanted me to get a BA before I entered so that I could become an officer...but I had...had enough of school. After Desert Storm ended my career...I attended University...on my GI Bill. Even though I physically suffer from my service I do not regret it and I am only sorry that I could not complete my 30 years. It is among the most honorable vocations that exists...but certainly is not a career for the ordinary person.

... well, I guess you did what you had to do, or what your family expected you to do. good you got your head down when it mattered and you are still with us.

Magg:

All.. or at least the vast majority of these kinda people are not likely to have a clue. They are not "embedded" in the culture and would stand out like Osama on a US military parade ground.

I'm sure if they had a target, they may have some chance of a capture, but this is not some local mafia gang they are attempting to hit - these are dedicated (and apparently loyal) people who are willing to die for a cause and will use any guerilla tactics to fuck ya up.

They are obviously using "cells" where no one person knows the whole picture and these "cells" are also working independently. Hard to break that! :-)

The Basques have been playing the "terrorist game" since Roman times. The IRA are not "beatable" - they now sit at a conference table.

"Conventional" soldiers/mercinaries could have some luck, but odds are against it.... I'd think there is more chance of someone "within" producing some "intelligence".

Good luck to ya King! Sorry to hear you got messed in the Gulf War.

clue less idiot

ever stop 2 think there are other reasons why people join besides, for a job.

Well look at pat tilman gave up millions of dollars for what he believed in. So it's not always about just a job. I do agree thought that no matter what reason a person signs up for they will be used as a pawn. But that is not thier fault many of theer reasons are pure and I respect that...

Dunno what is was like in the States, but there was a time when there were "professions" that were "desirable" - like ya became a teacher, soldier, preacher or something like that.

I suspect being a soldier these days may not be in fashion :-) Tho I've known a few professional soldiers (who are now long retired and some now dead) and they were only what could be described as "men of honor" - you can always rely on them, no matter what. There was also some "code of honor" and this oozed out in bucket loads.

These folks never joined up just for a job - it was their career. If a war came along during their term of service - that was bad luck, but they served well for good and just reasons.

It may be that politics and... bad judgement on the part of leaders are bringing "discredit" to soliders in some way. "Wars" now seem to be initiated on the whims of idiots these days and without *real* justification - it's a kind of abuse of the forces.

What happened?... Did you "tell"

j/k
I was on a gun crew during training exercises on a Mediterranean cruise but the only things we shot at were drones and empty drums.

After I returned home from Korea last September, I was mobilized for Second string Iraqi Freedom. I would be there right now if they wouldn't have cut the funding for me to go. I guess I can say I lucked out. However, 35 from my unit did go and will be there for at least another 2 years.

thats combat.

FlyingIguana

i was thinking about joining the reserves, wanted in the air force reserves but at the time they didn't let people join it unless they already worked in the army reserves. so i said fuck it.

was gonna let them pay for school, but i didn't want to waste 5 years after school as a jag, would have went to law school if it wasn't on my tab for sure. so i wouldn't have been in combat anyways, plus i'm too smart to be a soldier.

You are hardcore. What player did you use?

I never saw any combat, but I'm proud that I served four years in the United States Marines.

Although I was college prep all through high school, the thought of four or more years of schooling bored me to tears. I graduated high school six months early and with nothing to do I joined the Marines. Both my father and my grandfather were Marines (both died in combat), so the Marines was the way to go for me.

The Marines changed my life. I went from a skinny kid with no self confidence to a young man who was ready to take on the world - and go to war if needed.

I think that everyone should serve at least a few years in the military. It will change the way they look at life.

If you served in combat... I salute you.

I wish she was evicted....I can't run a profitable horse biz with her sitting there.

My daughter saw her talking to another neighbor at the mail box yesterday and pointing to our place. She's quiet but I can feel that she is up to something.

LOL

I've been on the receiving end of combat operations and been shot at quite a few times.

SuckOnThis

You're all a bunch of fucking slaves

Fukeneh

i hate these unpatriotic weak fucks in these threads talking people down that are willing to fight and die for thier country.

belief in and the willingness to die for something greater then yourself is both honorable and respectable if you ask me. millions of men have walked the path before and didnt return, to be unwilling to pick up where they left off and continue to protect your country is shameful, and spineless.

regardless of whether or not you agree with or believe in the war you are fighting is not the point. your elected officials believe that what you are doing is right and that makes it so. in a democracy that is how things work.

if you are american and you dont like america and your unwilling to die to protect her, and your mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters daghters, sons, and friends, then you my friend should pack your fucking bags and get the fuck out! refusal to stand up and fight is to spit in the eyes of the millions that came before you and died in vein to protect these rights for your spoiled ass.

with that said, i would love to join my military and kill those that have aky kind of hostile feelings about my country, but my military will not accept me for service for reasons id rather not get into on this board. but know that i have tried to join every division on more then on occasion to no avail.

i too salute anyone who has or will serve in any service to protect thier country!

slackologist

I was invited to join the airforce when i was 16 but declined (aviation studies was offered at our school so we had an unusually high number of kids with pilots licenses)

spamofon

i prefer to liberate people with the emails

SuckOnThis

Good. We hate you to.

Invading Iraq is not protecting America Mr. GIJoe. Quite the opposite. It has created tens of thousands more that are willing to die to kill us. What the fuck does it take for you war mongers to understand this?

Let me guess....you're mentally unbalanced?

Well, I'm sure you can always become a hitman, seems to be in your nature.

Growing up in the ghetto should count.
