Yeah, I was in the United States Army for twenty-one years. I served from 1961 to 1991 and included Regular Army, National Guard, and Active Reserve in my service.

I do not appreciate someone of your ilk questioning my service. I was on duty when the Berlin Wall went up and I was still on duty when it came down. When I went on alert, it usually meant a minimum of two weeks out in the field, sleeping in a tent. From what I saw of the Air Force, a alert meant they had to work twelve hour shifts. At least that is what I saw at Bitburg and Spangdahlem Air Bases in Germany.

Thank you for your service to our country. I'm sure it was honorable. If you'd like to compare resumes,time spentin the field living in the dirt or any other facet of our careers, I can assure you you'll lose. But I digress.

Here is something that truly disturbs me. Why is it that you can take the time respond to the part of my post that hurt your precious feelings, but not the bulk of it thatset straightyour incorrect information? Never mind. That question was rhetorical.

You have a great day.



P.S. Only the United States Army is the United States Army. If you spent time in the Guard and Reserve, then you were in the Guard and/or Reserve. They are not the same. But then"someone of your ilk"should have already known that.

P.P.S. Anyone who is genuinely concerned about and willing to uphold their oath to support and defend the Constitution should check out and join this group;

Since Major Cook SUCCESSFULLY challenged his orders to deploy to the A-Stan

Did that guy get a dishonorable for conduct unbecoming, for pulling that media stunt? I hope so.
Last I remember, as he was gaining a little ground in the courts, somebody rescinded his orders,thus, the court action ceased. Wonder who had an interest in seeing the problem "GO AWAY"?

This is ridiculous. There's not gonna be a coup. Get real.

I certainly dislike Obama, he is indeed a statist and a socialist and a corrupt Chicago machine pol, but I don't understand all the fantasizing about all the bad things this guy's gonna do to us. He doesn't look to me to be any worse than Carter or Clinton, and the world didn't end with those clowns.

Where was all the outrage when Bush was setting up concentration camps and tapping your phones and ignoring the 4th Ammendment and setting up a "Homeland" security department? Or does this only concern us when Democrats do it?

Or maybe you thought that when you were supporting Bush that no Democrat was ever going to get his hands on all that nifty power Bush was giving the office of president?
