UPDATE*** Brother recieved orders... Military UPDATE*** | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 23406708 United States 10/14/2012 06:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are many parts of this country where there are very few economic opportunities (parts of West Virginia come to mind)... After High School a couple of kids go to college, maybe one or 2 get in w/ the mines, some get unskilled jobs in retail or in construction (out of state) and a number of kids go into the military... It's their way out of sh*t-hole holler... These kids "sign a contract" when they are 18 years old. They aren't "awake." They don't know anything about US foreign policy....They just want to get ahead.... I don't know anything about OP's brother....Maybe he joined the military to "kill Brown people" for TPTB....But I doubt it.... I would love to see George Bush, Dick Cheney, Barry Obama, Hilary Clinton, Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein et al pay for their crimes.... But how can I blame their victims? How can you?? |

(And if you ask me, everything but defending your home soil against foreign aggression is unrighteous imperialism.) I still respect anyone with personal combat experience. They sure as hell know more about knowingly facing death than me. How could a rookie ever really understand what he's signing up for? Wish the bloody fake war bullshit would stop already. We could all live like kings and queens. yeah but retarded sheeple like OP's bro fucked up everything by giving power to the elite |
Anaiah User ID: 20652506 United States 10/14/2012 06:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My brother is in the Marines. He went to Iraq and Afagn. Recently he got to come home. I think he said he was now Active Reserve or something cause he had like 2yrs left on his contract. Well his 2yrs are almost up and they sent a letter to my dads telling him he has to report to houston airport i guess to go back to california. I have not been able to talk to him about. But it seems they are wanting to deploy him again. Where idk, but i have a good feeling on what they are planning. I see people are putting stuff about wars they believe are coming up, so i figured i would throw that out there. I will update when i talk to him, which should be later this evening. Quoting: Guarnere09 I already know his stance on this tho, because we talked about what was going on over there, and he doesnt agree with it. Pathetic politicians. Your brother is an inspiration and should be to everyone. He may not have fully understood what all would be entailed after he joined, but he is out there, he is following orders, he is honorable. Please thank him from me, a complete stranger but know I truly mean it and would meet and thnk him in person. Same here. Please thank him for me. My Uncle was in the Navy for years and my sister's husband (they're separated because he mistreated her) is a Marine, and my half-brother's in the Air Force. Huge thanks to all those who serve. They didn't know what all they were getting into at the time, and I may not agree with the wars that we fight, but I will forever honor those that give their lives and serve for our defense. As above, So below. |

Quoting: Guarnere09 This is not unusual, this is what Marines do. AR is full duty like active duty...use to be called FTS. They are usually part of the SMCR support staff, and can deploy as individual augment or with the unit. Could be anything from exercise to contingency. What does he do?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23597994 United States 10/14/2012 07:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think OP was only trying to raise awareness that his brother may be heading out. This is what people do in a conspiracy forum. There are a lot of men and women being deployed right now. whether you support or believe in the reason for all of the new deployments or not, it does not mean they are not happening. Oddly enough, many fail to realize what happens on the other side of the world really does effect life where they are. Quoting: novamom Actually yes, I do fail to realize it. I always failed to realize why, for my sake, they need to go in and turn Iraq into hamburger, blow up all the habitable caves in Afghanistan, turn Libya to ruins, etc. If the price of gasoline would have been higher otherwise, I would prefer to have paid that price and other associated economic costs. I am not unique, indeed I think most Americans think as I do, if they would only let us speak on this issue. |
