Sorry, but it is my position that the U.S. taxpayers ought to pick up


Translation : NO, not me! It's the government's job! I complain a lot, but
I'm not going to do anything to help. S&#T!!!! N.A.T.O., Harry.


Oh, I'm going to do a lot to help. I'm going to work very hard next year
to defeat Bush and his brown-shirted thugs, and I'm also going to
donate as much money as I can to aid in that effort.

As for paying to get those troops on leave from a battlefield home: the
Bush Administration sent them over there with our dollars; I see no
reason for us to hold back our dollars to get them home for leave. As a
taxpayer, I have no objection to paying for travel home for leave for
soldiers in a combat zone.

Aren't *any* of your righties capable of independent thought? Or are you
all BushBorgs? Bush is a disaster; can't you righties begin to admit it?

Harry, are you going to sell your boat(s)? It would provide a sizeable donation
and, in your estimation, do a lot to help get the country on the track you
desire - socialism. If you decide to sell, please let me know.

Sure wish you had been around during Vietnam. I could have used some of the
money to help me fund my R&R. Have you considered going to an airport and buying
a soldier a ticket? No?

My boats are always "for sale," John, since I'm always looking forward
to the next one.

I was.

Any soldier returning home for leave from the battlefield should have
his ticket paid for by Uncle Sam, courtesy of the US taxpayers. Why
should a soldier have to pay his way home for leave from a war zone?

As a soldier, I never considered a difference between going on leave from a
combat zone or going on leave from a non-combat zone. I chose to take the leave,
I chose to go where I went, and I made the choice knowing I'd pay for it.

There were a whole lot of things the government could have paid for. Thermarest
mattresses are great in a field environment, but the Army didn't buy me one. I
love my little maglites, but the Army didn't buy me one. In Vietnam I had to
fund my own Kabar knife. I was an engineer, and the Army wouldn't buy me one. I
could go on, but you should be getting the point.

Now, I have tried not to call any names, and I answered this only because you
asked a question. I'm going to try to be good, so don't feel a need to respond
to this.

Gotta see what my tax situation is first. If my tax cut is big enough, I may
have to spend the money on a new boat, thus keeping unemployment to a minimum.
If, however, the tax cut is too small, or deleted, or wisely spent by the
government on something else, then I'll have to consider selling my boat!

Aw, you're such a patriot. I bet you're thinking about selling your
boat to fund more bombing. Maybe you should just sign it over the
government to enable more harbor patrols. We're going to need to pick
up our vigilance given all the recruiting we're facilitating for radical
Islamists.
