How's that surgery of the week doing for ya, Johnny Boy? Kinda cuts down
on hopey-changey for you, eh? Got that surgical suite booked for your
next
"incident"?

Oh...I read the post under question for "content." The content was
easy...it was just a restatement of the usual conservative's "I've got
mine, so **** you."

Let's see here ...

John earned his for him and his family by fulfilling a 20+ year contract
with the US military serving at the pleasure at several US Presidents.

You earn yours by keeping your union dues paid up to date.

Who sacrificed more for his?

Eisboch

Not the point. It's the "I've got mine, so **** you" attitude of his.

And what sacrifice? Herring was in the military voluntarily.

I don't know when John entered military service. *I think he's of the same
vintage as you and I, and I know I entered "voluntarily" *to avoid entering
"involuntarily". * He may not have been so lucky.
I don't know.

Once in, many decide to make it a career. *Reasons vary per the individual.
I didn't make it a full career with retirement benefits, but I did nine
years to "pay" for educational programs that were offered.

Everyone makes their way through life in their own way. *To do so
responsibly, honestly, raising a family and providing for them is key, not
what your title or social status is to others.

You want sacrifice, consider a factory worker who spends 20 years on the
job and is pink-slipped, losing health care and quite probably a good
chunk of pension benefits.

Maybe they should have joined the Army. * *Just kidding. *But that said, it
does raise a point.
For some, military or government careers provide the financial and
retirement benefits that many seek. * Whats wrong with that? * The bulk of
the US Senate does the same thing. *Career politicians with decent salaries,
fantastic benefits and huge expense accounts. *Talk about milking the
system.

Eisboch

John was drafted. John had no college education and no money to get one.. The
Army provided the means to do so. But, for every carrot the Army offers, there
is a stick. For each year of college, the Army charged two years of service. For
promotions, other schools, etc, the Army has a charge. Eventually it's stupid to
get out before retirement.

Herr Krause. Here does a school teacher sign a contract to lay down
their lives, if necessary, for the protection of others?

Which is nice for both of you, but you didn't address hk's point, which
is that he's basically saying he's got his and he doesn't care about
anyone else.

Harry is full of ****e. If you want to address Harry, be my guest. I
sense
that you are too afraid of him to engage him though.

Full of it or not, he made a valid point, which hasn't been addressed.
Looks
like you're not going to address it either. Why is that typical...

For hk, that would be a correct assumption.
