As a soldier who enlisted during the first Bush administration but served mostly under Clinton, I will say this, it is under the leadership of presidents who are apathetic or hostile the the military that it is most important to have a solid and reliable cadre of seasoned veterans to keep the edge on the sword of democracy.
If it hadn't been for the guys who had been around a long time, the military would have fell apart under Clinton. Those old timers are what kept motivation, and dedication up, they constantly reminded us that it was not important whot he president was, but how we conducted ourselves, that we could all turn into dirtbags who were not willing or capable of fighting, and that would be fine with Clinton, or we could strive to be good soldiers and continue to stand ready to face our enemies even if teh Commander in Chief was to stupid to realize that there were dangers to our nation in the world. ETA: I am planning on returning to active duty by the end of the year, while I do not relish teh idea of serving under Kerry, the country needs good soldiers today, and will continue to need them for quite some time, no matter who is president. |

Well your talking about serving under "Klinton" just to keep the military going. I don't think I could have done that! Especially looking on it from a career point of view. If you get 20 years to make a career and you spend 8 of it working for a complete dick, that's like 40% of the time in the military you hated! now take into account working for Kerry....that's another 4 years! FUCK THAT. I will not work for Kerry or any of his "regime" |

Don't blame you one bit. Fortunately I retired as of 1 October, so IF he's elected he won't be my Commander-in-Chief. Thanks for serving your country and let's hope that you can continue to serve under a Commander-in-Chief that knows how to run things...GW Bush!!

So if Kerry wins, it is time to head for the hills and abandon the Republic, because it is doomed and unreedemable? Politicians come and go, our country was founded on stronger stuff than that, it will survive, and will continue to require good men who are able to hold thier noses and serve thier country. |

[I will not serve for a commander in chief who will deny the citizens there second amendment right. I will not serve for him if when he plans on withdrawing from Iraq. I will not serve for that FAGGOT! I may actually be ashamed to call myself american with him as our "leader" I HATE KERRY!
<out>/quote] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lots of people are talking about this. I've thought it too. Hell, I could take a medical right now if I said the words. But I don't feel that we are at a point in this war that I could feel okay about bowing out. And I have friends that depend on me doing my job. But when a high number of people in elite units are talking about bailing if Kerry takes office, you have a problem. Personally, I look at it like this: If the pos gets elected, I'll always worry about my rights here at home when I'm off doing his bidding, hand in hand with some U.N. flunky who dreams about cutting my throat while I sleep. I will lose all faith in my countrymen who voted for the dumb sob. Basically I'll be fighting b/c bad guys need killing. Then I'll go home. ETA: But I'll never be ashamed to call my self an American, junior. |

God Bless all you guys who have served. I have talked to several career military guys who are saying the same thing about getting out if Kerry gets in. Funny thing is, the media would have us believe that guys are wanting out because of the war in Iraq. VOTE BUSH!!!

I hear that from the left a lot...."shame, shame, shame".... IMO they are cowardly self-rightous, shit-spewing treasonous despots and their lacky's. Fuck 'em. ggllggll: I was in the Army and later in Vietnam, flying helicopters, when the liar Kerry sold me out as a murderer and baby-killer to the American public and the communist enemy, and Hanoi Jane was manning her anti-aircraft gun in Hanoi. I heard all about them because Radio Hanoi was bragging about them and broadcasting their tapes all the time. If he wins, that bastard, nor his government, do not deserve any loyalty. May as well get out, before you are sold out. |

"Shameful"? These are men who have gone over there at LEAST TWICE. These are men who have spent many years of their lives serving and sacrificing. Missing the births of children, gettting divorced, having businesses collapse. But you insist that they must serve MORE, otherwise they should be ashamed? They made these sacrifices, confident that their Commander in Chief was 100% behind them. Kerry isn't 100% behind ANYTHING. But you say that their decisions to leave are "shameful". "Shameful". They weathered Clinton |

You misrepresent my thoughts --- I say if you want to serve your country -- go ahead. many did under Clinton -- are you saying that they were less honorable than those serving under Bush ??? All I am saying if you are of the mind to serve your country -- do it -- others will see that you are sent to do honorable things... The President is not the last word in all matters. |

Clinton was a fucktard and boned those that were in Somalia --- for sure isn't the first time nor will it be the last time. I can go back to the Indian wars to the present --- soldiers have been used and abused-- they still served with honor and deserve the ---------------- respect ----------- One does what one can in the present system that is in place. If you want perfect --- you still don't have it - even with BUSH. |

I got out because of Clinton, considered going back in the guard for Bush because the local unit was going to Iraq. The wife got Preg, oh well, can't take the paycut. It hurts me every day I see it on the news though. If Kerry gets elected I might like that one choice I made.
If Kerry wants to increase the size of the .mil the asshats who voted for him can enlist and go serve under the UN. |

Yes. Because of what it says about the American people. A Kerry victory means they are ready to surrender to terrorists and we are on the slipper slope to being an "owned" nation like France. Whatever happened to "millions for defense but not a penny for tribute"? GunLvr |
