Are you stupid? Do you really think command gives a
rats ass whether you live or die in the army. Hell, they
won't even take care of you properly when you have your
arms or legs blown off.


Gee. Dennis. I was classed 4F and couldn't enlist. In fact, I
received five separate 4F ratings. Then they discovered my electronics
background and drafted me. I tested out of a three year electronics
school, and was awarded "Television Equipment Repairman" which meant I
was qualified to service equipment for TV studios, control rooms, high
power transmitters and microwave equipment. My records stated that I
was unfit for combat, so that kind of blows away, "Are you stupid? Do
you really think command gives a rats ass whether you live or die in the
army.", doesn't it? My DD-214 list my secondary MOS as N/A, meaning
they couldn't send me to a comabt zone to fight.


This is the best anology you can come-up with? If
it was so great why didn't you stay in?? Liar.


Several reasons, actually. I'm not a union man, and my MOS of
Broadcast Engineer was being phased out, and replaced with civilians who
were paid over four times what I received.


Are you EVER right about anyone?
