    GOD It looks like he had fun with this one!

    The only point he missed is that the fat & stupid ones were our political leaders.

    There are good kids everywhere. I blame the fat lazy criminal stereotypes on their parents.

    Reinstate the old training proceedures and ‘fat, stupid and criminal’ wouldn’t matter. No one stays fat after 11 weeks of infantry basic. When I went through basic the ones that were under-educated were tutored and we had a couple of people that took the Army in place of jail time.

    The “all volunteer” Army has indeed considerably lowered “standards” over the years. While Guard and Reserves are put on the front lines, what is the “regular Army” up to? Well, Germany and Korea are still cold war objectives.

    Having been on the line, I’m very concerned that recruiting in now done in Spanish. Nothing against those willing to serve and gain citizenship, but I AM concerned whether OUR troops can communicate to each other when it hits the fan. This is more a comment on the barrel scraping, than on those fish in the barrel.

    In fact, jingos like scotty boy and his girlfriend Sean Hannity are ultimately responsible for the poverty,ignorance,mass murder and perpetual warfare which characterize life in the United States, now in glorious twilight.Monsters like scotty boy and Rush drool and froth at the mouth as they worship beneath the twin banners of flag and fetus.

    The most dangerous “officer” in the Army is a Captain trying to make field grade- let your guys take all the risks, you get the oak leaf. “Butter bars” are sometimes as dangerous, because they’re still stupid, and haven’t been weeded.

    Doctors already have years of graduate study, which is why they come in at higher rank.

    Haha. Yeah a criminal record preventing those with criminal records(false or not) from partaking in mass murder. Hammer, nail Rall.

    If my recollection is right, the overwhelming number of U.S.-born mass murderers are Christian.

    Thou shalt not kill…

    Doubt it Kanjizai.

    The Holy Bible is not telling me to cut off heads of infedels.

    John 16:2,3 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

    What the Bible says and what people DO are two different things and yes, the majority of mass murderers in the US would claim to be Christian or at the very least to have been brought up in a Christian environment. Jim Jones, Jeffrey Dahmer. Scott, I don’t think you understand how rank works in the military. If no one above the rank of corporal works on the wounded, they are doomed. Doctors are ranked that highly for a reason and they are commissioned, not enlisted. If you’re saying that they shouldn’t give doctors commissions, well, I think most doctors would turn down military service altogether.
