I think not! Its time to face facts. Patriotism and a sense of duty have gone out the window. How many of the young men that are now serving in the NATIONAL GUARD, etc., are there because of a sense of duty? What percentage of them expected they would be fighting and dying on foreign soil to protect their country? How many women generals know what it means to dig out a bloody victory? How many women MP's know how to guard prisoners? I live near a major Guard and Spl Forces training facility. ALL of the guardsmen I've met have a strong sense of duty. And when it comes to being mean and hard you obviously don't know many young women. A bike club once tied a miscreant to a metal bedsprings with a old ford coil hooked you know where. Anybody could 'push his button' for a quarter. Guess which sex did all the pushing. ....... I am upset when I see men and women, led by a women general incapable of properly guarding prisoners. I am upset when I see men and women refusing an order because they think it's to dangerous. I am upset when I see men and women crying to mommy that their equipment isn't good enough. Then get used to it. A couple kids on our local ROTC shooting team are back from their second tours as snipers in the Marine Reserves. Both killed people without qualm as ordered. Both privately told me that they had to say they didn't like it to calm folks back home. The girl didn't like packing the heavy 50 cal rifle but loved the effect that blowing a terrorist apart with it from half a mile away had on his buddies (c: Are prisoners escaping in droves? No? Then what's this 'incapable' BS. If you are sniviling about maltreating prisoners I'd remind you that SecDef Rumsfeld ignored JAG admonishments to encourage the "atrocities" then left the grunts, male and female, to take the heat when they followed his "advise". What can we expect with leaders like that? Oh! That's right!! You voted for more of the same!!! And your sis P-whipped you? Go ahead and blame the women MPs then. A kid I talked to recalled his squad busting into a building full of mujahadeen. The point man thru the door took 3 AK rounds in the chest before killing his attacker. He walked away, albiet sore, because he had the latest vest. The rest of the squad did not. I'd do some ****ing and moaning too were I one of them. I recall a lot of complaints about M-16s jamming in 'nam too. I suppose those guys were sissies too? AFAIK nobody refused an order because it was dangerous. A fuel delivery crew did refuse to deliver bad fuel to combat vehicles - not because of danger to themselves but because the bad fuel would put the combat troops in *unnessary* danger. ... I know that there are a significant number of hardass patriotic men that do in fact serve, but not enough of them. G. Witless Bush and Don Rummyfeld disagree. "Enough of them" would have been the 300 - 500,000 General Shinseki said we'd need, not just to topple Saddam but to *secure the peace*. But G.Witless and Rummy only sent 140,000, thus allowing Al Qaeda agents to follow our troops in and loot Saddam's weapons stashes for the crap now being used to kill our boys - and perhaps to bomb your kids' school next month. Its the 3 stooges -LBJ, Westmoreland and McNamara -all over again! And when the protests begin you can blame them too. |

When writting about the decline of the military,
Bobspud sputters: And it's taken many years of awful leadership to make this happen. Yes, I'd say about 8 years...When Hillary ran the government. You know, the don't ask don't tell years. |

Vito tells us:
I live near a major Guard and Spl Forces training facility. ALL of the guardsmen I've met have a strong sense of duty. All of the RESERVE or all of the Spec OPS. There is a BIG difference. And how many is ALL anyway? And as far as those mean young biker women, how many of them served in the armed forces? And for how long? And what do they think of the National Guard? Do they go out with any of them? And who was the miscreant? What service did he serve in? |

Yes, I'd say about 8 years...When Hillary ran the government. You know, the don't ask don't tell years. Dems and republicans are really in outer space with dumb posts that try to claim full credit for longer term succeses or lay all the blame for problems. I see that you're one of those idiots. Congrats! RB |

You really want people like ganz & bob in the military?
SV "Joe" wrote in message om... (Recobee) wrote in message ... I agree 100% recobee. Infact I think if your not willing to serve and protect your country then you should not be allowed to vote.

What percentage of them expected they would be fighting and dying on foreign soil to protect their country? How many women generals know what it means to dig out a bloody victory? How many women MP's know how to guard prisoners? I suspect that many of them figured this was a weekend job, and that at most they would be called out to help in some sort of national disaster, not have to shoot and kill or be killed.

I know that there are a significant number of hardass patriotic men that do in fact serve, but not enough of them. And we really need to make every one serve, and every one learn just what it means to be a patriot. That's not a football team in Massachusetts. |

An AD?? Can you say REMF? To hard to pronounce.. And without AD's the rest of the fleet would just fall apart. I was on a Sprunce class destroyer the David R Ray until I went to ABC school and the Navy needed my skills more on a AD. Joe |
