$20,000 enlistment bonuses are more enticing than Patriotism!

Fanta what a disparaging remark toward brave men and women that serve our country the best they can. To belittle them as being in it only for a 20,000 dollar bonus is the lowest I have ever seen you go. What a disgrace...hanging with the socialists really has changed you man:cry:

And your living in a fantasy world!

The srvices havent met their recruiting goals since the war in Iraq started!
They have done everything to get more "Patriots" to sign. From raising the bonuses to lowering the standards of recruits, to stop-loss, and they still fall short every month! You really need to leave the fantasy world you live in red wine!

I support all those boy's from the poor families who join for what ever reasons entice them.
Usually it is financial reasons or just plain old youthful naivety! I know I was a Sgt, 11B , besides walking in their shoes I also trained many of them!
The naivety doesn't take long to wear off, and the financial reasons soon deteriorate with the reality that dying isn't worth any amount of money!!

20 is still young! That's cute!!bigsmile
Different reasons for different folks!
I can only hope it wasnt for the money!!
Its a far cry from Infantry to an MP!
But, yes you have no idea until you get off the bus what youve done!!!laugh laugh

if you don't stand behind our troops.... feel free to get in front of them.

I do not support anyone who kills innocent men , innocent women and innocent children . If I do I will be ashamed of myself . All around the world , killing innocent people is MURDER .
Supporting the troops is a logo for politicians and the media to have a pro wars propaganda .

In so many words

Its like there are actually two Armies!
There are grunts and then there are rear echelons!
