Get it yet?

So what did you do for 22 years?
US Navy... Shore Duty, Sea Duty and overseas DETS.. Was never directly in combat but served in the Arabian Sea, was in Kuwait in 2004 and was off the coast of Lebanon in 83 when the Marines were killed by the same terrorist we are fighting today...

How about you... Where did you serve during your time in the Naval Reserves???

I believe she said 'Nam as an HM2. After 14 years, it seems she left with a very large chip on her shoulder. When I retired, I believe a second class was limited to ten years high year tenure.

Well thank you for your service but you went in as Vietnam was ending.

Make light of Grenada all you like, it was a war.

Now for your dumbass WMD comment, if you're that friggin stupid (which you've proven you are), there's no point in discussing anything with you. You're an animal lover so you know even they can be taught. You can't.

Our fallen hero's and their families deserve the respect of privacy. Not having some MSM buttmunch snapping photo's because YOU don't like the fact that Bush freed a country, captured a killer and saved this country.

Tell ya what, I'll buy your burka, ticket and drive ya to the airport anytime you wanna go live with the animals you love so dearly. Name the time.

Yes, I did..I enlisted durning the Viet Nam Conflict.. and got out several years after it ended due to the GI Bill ending and no chance of a renewal..I got out with a disability, went to college and graduated.
After Nam, the HM rate got very top heavy and women, w/o combat points got PNA'ed on the HM1 exams. I had high scores, but always missed the ever higher cut off points..all due to the lack of combat points/ship points...
I have no regrets in getting out and not retiring..
and perhaps we need to sit over a beer and talk this out face to face.
I do not have a chip, an not a CO and not a reservist..

Call me what you want, say what you will.... I dont care Chief...it does not matter here.
I sadly, wasted too much time on this topic.
Bye

Is this really good bye?? I am heart broken...

As far as spending time on topic... You really did not... You made this about you. That was my whole point... American being returned to America after having made the ultimate sacrifice for our country should not be put on display to satisfy your or anyone else's political agenda..

All news photographers are taught to "get the body", its an age old rule of the profession

If you can call it a profession. Its no wonder they get ticked when they cant get the body. You see in essence every news paper no matter what its name and standing is basically the Enquirer. They all look for sensationalism to sell papers. Papers shouldnt be sold at the cost of showing dead Americans.
