This has nothing to do with America, circa 2004.

Explain to me please..
How does one sign up for a war with the intention of getting medals and getting out? Can you do that? What if that plan BACKFIRES and you get killed?
Did John McCain go to Vietnam with the intention of becoming a POW for 5 years?
Did Max Cleland sign up so he could lose 3 Limbs and be awarded medals?
Did Bob Dole sign up do he could serve 3 weeks and lose the use of him arm?
Are some of the soldiers in IRAQ planning on doing any of these things?
What if they get killed?
This same reasoning was raised on another post and its so dumb its unbelievable. Kerry went to PAD his resume. I guess BUSH also defended the SKIES OF TEXAS from the Vietcong to "pad his resume".
DEMO, you have served. Did you serve with any of the intentions above? I just do not get this logic.. |
I joined b/c after 9/11 I felt that I needed to do my part. After I got in, I served for the guys that I ws in with. They are the ones I cared about.
