y'all would be DISGUSTED by the number of soldiers and their families that also collect food stamps in order to survive.

I got a little not so well kept secret LOL...the gov't and medical community is making so much money off of these soldiers it's a crying shame, we all know...no wonder a lot of them aren't so keen on bringing these guys home.What's so bad is how much these folks are making..I work with a review board in MD and part of what we do, is review proposals from ALL facets of the medical community and give approvals over whether or not these docs will get at the least 150k annually to play with for the next 3 to 5 years with vets coming home from the wars and getting them signed up for all these experiments. (that's the most i can tell ya....LOL) but what's interesting is when u look at how much of that money goes into THIER pockets first. *wink*

daemon, do not sicken me anymore than i already am lol! my sister is one of those headstrong girls who wants to get the hell out of mom and dads house. so on a whim she up and joined the navy.

besides the fact that the recruiter lied to her, now is not the time to join Bush's military. you think $21 a day for food is bad? its nothing compared to coming home at 20 years old with no legs and one "good" arm. and for what?

I lost one bruh last year

and one of my frat (one of my founders as a matter of fact) did 3 years and lost a lot of his squadmates.

I think he said he can be discharged at the end of the year...he's done almost 15 years I think

blutang i agree with you. someone had to do it. and i dont feel it would be addressed correctly over a $150 a plate gourmet meal at a 5 star hotel...the people that make/adjust the rules cant justify a decision either way unless they know first hand.
