RIP. Condolences to the family.

But if 0bama kept his promises he would still be alive.


I am just surprised Harry hasn't told us how worthless the guy was for
joining up. I mean, we all know the disdain he has for enlisted men and
women... Just ask John...

Nope. According to his comments, I was 'stupid', because I let myself
get drafted.

My disdain is for the military establishment generally, the
"corporation," so to speak, and not those who wear the uniform, with
certain exceptions to the latter, you being one of them.

Since the end of World War II, I believe the military establishment's
primary goal has been to perpetuate itself, to keep as many men and
women in uniform as possible.

Dr. Cabrera chose a soldier's life and took a soldier's chances.
According to my wife, he was a terrific psychotherapist, something the
military is in great need of these days.


It is like anything else. Honest good people at the bottom and scum
floats to the top to serve the politicians. Your gripe is at the top.

As the rank and file willing to serve your country is a reflection of he
best USA people have to offer.

But your fleabagger mind can't differentiate.
