Quote seems to me that he got off easy... "Bad Conduct"? He deserted his country. He deserted those he had sworn to protect. He deserted his friends. If that's not dishonorable I don't know what is. He did get off easy. Just a little History: In 1945 a Private Eddie Slovik was executed by the Army. He was the only soldier to be excuted for desertion since the Civil War. - Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

The democrats might call foul and say the kid is really taking a dump. My year old granddaughter looks a little like this when she is not crying. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

The bad conduct discharge is not as bad as the dishonorable discharge. Apparently he served honorably up until now. Back in the old days some employers would not hire you if you had nothing short of an honorable discharge. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Quote there such a thing? I hope not. I was joking. The military has been known to turn peaceful kids into warriors in time of need. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Quote So, being that is your attitude "I'll take up arms if I agree with the cause" do us all a favor and stay a civillian.... Don't you think a drill instructor with a "den mother" disposition could change the attitude of this young man? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Sad, but our generosity and good will rarely makes headlines. It's only the negative things about us that people see and want to believe. This should not stop us from continuing to help others. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Quote However, it's time a little perspective was tossed into the mix.... Written on the wall of a latrine at Lane Army Heliport Vietnam---- "War is harmful to children and other living things" Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

[reply but if H Goeing REALLY DID say that, it IS s scary, don´t you think????? This kid certainly doesn't sugar coat things. Wonder if he has any pictures of the Easter Bunny? (not during hunting season) Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

QuoteHe sacrified 5 years for his country. But is that heroic? Or just bad luck for him? I'm not sure it's any more so than anyone else that fought in Vietnam, or in another conflict...... You forgot to mention the people that did not come home. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

The black community needs more people like Bill Cosby to break this caste system the black kids have among themselves. They need to be nurtured into believing that it's ok to work hard in school. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

QuoteUnfortunately, the social programs in Europe are too expensive, and too generous. As everybody lives longer and the average age goes higher, entire programs will have to be cut..... The same is happening here. The government will not be able to provide security to the baby boomers here. It will take a lot more than illegal aliens to prop up social security. More taxes maybe?

Thanks. Never got mail like that before. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Ok. It was an internal message, but when I hit reply I was unable to communicate with the sender,"GOSHY". Does this mean that you can send an anonymous message to someone using PM? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I received some trash from somebody using the PM feature. He had no email address. Is it supposed to work that way? I did put his name on the delete list, but wonder how he was able to send a PM without an email address. PS I like girls. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Quote This doesn't sound much like a wedding to me. It sounds like an enemy waypoint that our troops leveled (yes, women and children can be enemies too - pack mules, ammo runners in battle, ambushers, etc). This is the part of war people seem to forget. During my first tour some of our guys hosed a boat that kept coming toward a guarded bridge during curfew hours outside of Hue. They kept coming even after warning shots across the bow. In the end a Vietnamese family with grand parents was wiped out . I sure hope our guys come out clean on this one.

Yes,I forgot to stow one side and went around a couple of fast times with my antique Jedei 136 before I figured it out. I also needed a sewing job. I sure felt dumb. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Beautiful. I remember when it landed in Abu Dhabi back in 74? It made all the helicopters look like scarecrows. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

QuoteHumans ARE killing the earth. That hole in the ozone layer daesn´t mean anuthing good.... Most problems are the result of over populating this planet. The day is coming when clean WATER will cost more than oil. Must the human race disappear before life gets clean air and water? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

QuoteI guess I'm a draft dodger of sorts........ You are not a draft dodger and don't think that way. You did your duty. I meet a lot of people who did not run, but are now sorry they didn't go. Sure, not many days go by when I don't think of people I knew who were killed, but it was all for nothing. Be thankful you did not go. Count your arms, legs, and kiss your wife, kids and your scout master. Like that yankee general said,"War is Hell". Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

QuoteI believe you are correct, there was no co-pilot, but the beastie's bomb capacity of up to 22,000 lbs would put it in the 'heavy' classification, in my book. That was a "lot of airplane" for one man to keep up with. I don't think the majority of Americans understand the suffering and lack of manpower you Brits endured during WWII.

QuoteThe Lancaster certainly was heavy..... I believe there was one set of controls for one pilot on the Lancaster. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I agree Steve. Lets hope our system of government will prevent someone like Hitler from coming to power in the first place. In the end it will be left up to the individual whether he serves or takes off. During Vietnam, a lot of people joined the National Guard to stay home and avoid combat. This was good as long as there were slots available. I'm sure some had "connections". Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

>Implied in this is that people who go to college to become engineers, teachers, or doctors (just some examples) aren't doing their nation a service. And that is wrong. The power of the USA doesn't stem from its military force, but rather its knowledge force. Capitalism and opportunity drive people to succeed. America benefits from the attempts. I'm not implying anything like this. I'm talking about a little sacrifice on the part of everybody. The military or a national service had a place for doctors, engineers,teachers. After Desert Storm the Army had a critical shortage of nurses because people got mad and quit when the President had the nerve to call their reserve unit up.
