I don't know why they wouldn't be proud to serve their country, as
anyone would. *However, they don't necessarily think they're doing
what's right for our country. *While soldiering, they don't question
the orders but they do question why the hell they're there in the
first place.

My nephew is an army airborne medic. *He's about to be deployed for
the 3rd time, this time to Afghanistan. *I hear it from the inside.

Our support of the troops is abysmal apart from rah rah and stickers
on our cars. *They've been used and abused and deserve better.

Ripping families apart and stop lossing people who've given more than
their measure isn't something to be proud of.

Deducting money for meals while in the hospital is an insult. *Army
hospitals in disrepair with mold and **** growing in the same
facilities where our countrymen are healing is an embarassment.

It's not until the cameras and reporters get there that anything
happens.

This administration is nothing but lip service for Americans and hand
outs to business.

Both my Brother and Sister in law have been deployed, I hear it from
the inside too.. But don't worry, Obama is going to address all of the
important issues, he wants to abolish the "don't ask, don't tell" in
the first week of his administration and isn't taking the troops out
after all. We will see if he does anything of any signifigance in
relation to the facilities.. BTW, the facilities did not fall apart in
one administration... Either way, I think I have wasted enough time
with you, like the others here already figured out.. you are not an
honest man, asking about my honor, pfffffttt...
