@lovinglife, what stands out in your writing is: “I was tapped for general ranks.” That tells me you are a politician, someone who drink his cool-aid and kiss his superior asses to advance.
The simple fact that you do not address any of the issues that even veterans rise but just repeat the old slogans says enough about how you think, or don’t.
And do not dare to call me a coward. I would die for my country, for my land, for my people. But I refuse to blindly serve a government who endangers our lives with questionable and unconscionable actions. And from the high pulpit where you put yourself, try to explain where the honor is in killing people who have never done anything to you, or how it serves our country.
Since you cite 9/11, were where those interceptors? Story goes that they were scrambled in the wrong direction. And you want me to believe that someone jump into an F-16 and go airborn without authorization?
The next time you see a taxpayer the best thing you can do is say, “Thank you for paying for my pension.”
