Cruel & Outdated Training Methods

[Karen]

I believe this is a case of everdosing on the Kool aid.

I have heard that when the military person is discharged, they are allowed
to have their own brains back. Maybe not all do.

What do you have against the men and women serving in our military? Why so prejudicial against them?

She didn't say she did.

Neither did I.

Is there an issue with people stating their opinions on here??

I questioned the attitude received by many of them, that superiority they seem to think they have.

I think they are are over there and doing their duty because that is what they are being told to do. They can't say "I don't want to go." Whether they believe they are actually fighting a just war is an entirely separate issue.

Patriotism has nothing to do with supporting war.

It has to do with supporting the men and women who are doing their jobs.

One of the kids I taught in school has a phrase on her MySpace that I quite like. "Bombing for Peace is like F^@$ing for Virginity."

I do not think he was displaying "superiority" as was accused.

I do think, for example, if a forensic detective told me something relating to her training, I wouldn't contradict him or her just because I have seen things on TV that makes me think I know better. Why should it be any different for soldiers?

I have absolutely nothing against any military man or woman. It's the
the military mind-set that some take with them when they leave the service.
It doesn't mesh well with the "real" world where we all have an equal voice.

All the men in my family served in the military. No women that I know of.

Though you say you have nothing against the military, your comments about "drinking the kool aid" and when someone gets to be a "big man" certainly show otherwise.

I agree. It's also annoying when, if you don't agree with them, you are then accused of having something against the military, the USA, or being unpatriotic. It's a bit single minded.
