Occupy Bagram Airfield has a message for Occupy Wall-Street

Lets hear it for the Troops! Theres nothing like watching a bunch of whiney liberals complain that they dont get enough government freebies while those who serve in combat for less pay and benefits than the average unionised government worker puts them in their place. While the military earnes benefits through service in combat so that they can have the opportunity to go to a state level college these whiney liberals at OWS take out massive loans for ivy league schools then have the nerve to demand that the government waive them for nothing. Perhaps they should also serve in the military, and no, not the IVAW members of OWS who publish websites like Ihatethemarinecorps. com . These patriots who SERVE their country while asking for little could teach alot to these lawless OWS protestors who want everyting for free.

 

That's hilarious, since those troops' salaries, medical/dental coverage, housing, and all the housing and education benefits are all paid by US tax dollars.

 

4 Stars.........

......they truely are America's finest....and the antithesis of the parasites and trash that comprise OWS.

and all that's ever asked of them is that they work for it and maybe die for it. great deal.

 

I would contend that sense they have the most dangerous job in the world while serving a constitutionally sanctioned organization, less pay than any other federal organization, switch duty stations every 2-4 years, put off their education and career to serve in combat, and undergo training and operations in high risk enviroments, that we owe it to them.

They cant buy a house because they move every 2-4 years.
Their is no financial gain/savings while serving.
Their salaries are a joke in comparison to all other federal jobs.
The likelyhood of them getting hurt or killed far exceed that of the average federal government job.
And they give up a chunk of their life TO SERVE, bypassing a career and an education.

All this TO SERVE your country while whiney OWS protesters DEMAND it all for free and a huge salary without recognition toward what little work experience/ethic they have to boot.

While our military enlist with the intention of defending our individual constitutional rights and liberties, OWS engages in unlawfulness in the advacasy of robbing individual liberty in the advocasy of collective salvation. Its no different than the socialists of the early 1900's to the commies of the 1960's/70's to the leftists of today. Same chants, same mottos, same tactics, and same agenda.

 

That must have excaped him huh?

 

A benefit available to all willing to sign the dotted line and commit to the same austerities of a deployment in a war zone or being "on call" 24 /7.

What is hilarious are those clowns calling for a free ride simply because they can shamelessly whine louder than the next.

 

You are aware that these people are putting their lives on the line...for your freedom?

Are you seriously begrudging salaries and benefits paid to soldiers?

That's just sick

 

On one side of the coin you have a picture of a small group of soldiers telling the protesters to stop (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing, and on the other theirs organizations like the Veterans for Peace who have been active participants in the protests. One of them even got shot in the face with a tear gas canister and sacrificed his ability to speak.... you might remember that story.

Like the general populous, I imagine the troops arent in total agreement about OWS. I wonder if they will still be telling people to stop (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing when they come home and can't find work.

 

How funny it is that I predicted your response. His story was referenced and LINKED in the op you failed to read. You should read it! There you will find his website of hating his fellow brothers in arms.

Yes.........he was apparently dishonorably discharged, and is actively anti-military.

He is a (*)(*)(*)(*) bird who couldn't make the cut. But worse, he is a (*)(*)(*)(*) bird, who won't let his failure go......instead choosing to malign those who do what he couldn't. Most genuine veterans have had to take up the slack of this type of fool in their service.

Not the best example to use.

 

They're going to be out there protesting with them after they come home and can't find a job. These soldiers obviously don't understand the true motives of the "occupiers".

 

I read the op. It doesn't negate my point. You post a picture of troops telling the protesters to stop (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing, clearly with the intent taking advantage of peoples emotions regarding the troops, while making the soldiers who have been participating the exception.

The fact is, this picture is of a small group of soldiers. We don't know how others feel about it. Their opinions are probably as varied as everybody elses, so any attempt to sway peoples opinions, or de-legitimize (probably just made up that word) the movement by evoking these soldiers, is lame.

 

I'm sick of these antiwar vets who joined for the military benefits in a non-combat job (like the wharehouse clerk) getting disgruntled when they find out that everyone is subject to deployment and combat service despite MOS. And after a few NJP's or perhaps a Dishonerable or "Other than Honorable" discharge they join a buch of anti war leftists where they are haild as the only true hero's of the war. However, not before signing up with an anti war veterans organization where they have a problem with fake veterans showing up to lend veteran support where their isnt any. IVAW and Vets for Peace are the discredited laughing stocks of an overwhelming conservative military. http://militarytimes.com/static/projects/pages/081003_ep_2pp.pdf

News flash buddy. I'm on my 12th year of service preparing to go back on active duty after 8 years active in the Marine Corps Infantry and 4 years in the National Guard. We are all laughing at OWS and the anti war vets who cant seem to keep the fakes, dishonerably discharged, other than honerable discharged, unpromotables, unreinlistable, combat runaways, and multipled NJP'd leftists out of their organizations. You want an EXTREAMLY small group? look at the anti war veteran organizations at OWS with websites talking about how they hate the Marines. Nevertheless I think I have a decent feel of the overwhelming opinion of those who serve.

 

Absolutely. We have all seen them. I even knew of a clown who went and had FTMC on his forearms......... These (*)(*)(*)(*)birds want out. I am inclined to accommodate them. Kick their asses out, give them bad papers and go away.....

But there seem to be a few who are not content to live with their disgrace and dishonor. For these minorities, they want to try and cache their failed service as being something noble. As if their failure in the military gives them some sort of special insight and credibility. B.S. They are failures who dishonored themselves and their service. Plain and simple IMO.

 

Nah, they'll go to college first as the government misleads us by counting them as unemployed. Happenes all the time. Especially sense Democrat states allow them to be on unemployment while they attend college with full GI bill and financial aid benefits. Then they will be counted as unemployed with an income that exceeds $40,000 a year when you account for all their benefits. (Not including spouse income) Then democrats will make this a strawman to beat republicans over the head with when trying to pass legislation that has nothing to do with the troops. How stupid is that huh?

 

That's why the news is constantly talking about unemployed vets.

 

You've got it! Aside from those select few of Vietnam draftees that became hippies after getting out, did drugs, and protested the war, modern homeless vet statistics are grossly inflated.

 

Isn't that same deal everyone gets?

 

No. They do that job so that deal you speak of is not an option for those who dont.

 

i hope i'm misreading you, but no other job in the country, public or private sector expects you to die doing it. they are rarely issued, but there are die-in-place orders out there.

 

Let's see how these soldiers feel when they come home and can't find work.

 

I was at Bagram AB in the early days of OEF. Living quarters were mainly temper tents, then progressing up to B-huts. The base has come along since, I think there's 6 dining facilities and a large exchange, among other things.

I think the sign is funny, though returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan have a 15 - 20% unemployment rate. Take advantage of that G.I. Bill and get an education!
