Makes me look at my little brother who I wouldn't trust to cook dinner at 19 and wonder how he compares to the people who watch my back on a daily out of country

Lew James Donald trump more or less! more less than not but still apart of it, maybe you shoudl ask your self a better question There isn't anything you can do about war in Afghanistan, but "WAR" doesn't look like it doesn't feel like it! U.S. command isn't dropping enlistment standards and preparing for a large scale campaign! current serving members are getting rotated like usual. how come you don't see c130s dropping thousands and mechanized coming in from all over, you get the whole line "war isn't like it used to be" thats bullshit anybody whose been in a firefight knows what a load of garbage that is people who have done search and seizures know what a load of garbage that is, so what the issue money not enough funding? hmmm 50% is spent on military and last I check you get a pretty hefty check twice a month! so what is it? truth is I don't know what it is what I do know is its not a war hell never really was, and thats sad men and wemon with true character died there friends and family and whole lot of sweat went into getting there. but more corporate bullshit keeps us there for no reason that could be easily explained.
