dang. I wonder what E I could have been, had I went ahead and joined the OSI when a full bird colonel wanted to recruit me.

But I turned it down - I don't look good in a crew cut, and had a bad knee, so bad, I was permanently 2-a draft exempt unless in a national emergency.... because of it.

No, I got the student loan repayment program and they don't give it to officers. Settle for being an e-4.

Yes I enlisted Dec 2001, right after I graduated from college. 

So you are saying you really believe Cadet Bone Spurs had a valid reason to dodge the draft?

warped political emotions that conflict, and make them look otherwise completely out of touch with reality.

see tex, this is truth:

In the second, obviously, texag got angwy and called me a fool directly.

But me, saying something he posts was cowardly, he gets outraged over the name-calling.

Pretty sad for texsag.

Quite honestly I come from the era of the draft lottery and I had a very high number. Had I not oh, I'm sure I would have explored ways to dodge the draft. CCC did you enlist? I don't particularly care which other members of the board served or didn't and only care about asking you because you've been bitching about it. I know we have a few members who enlisted, so if you did not, CCC, does that make their opinions more valid than yours?

I don't know why you even asked, don't all liberals feel dodging the draft is the righteous thing to do?

The answer is easy even for a simpleton to understand. Many view dodging the draft an act of cowardliness . Hence the word "dodged". If it were for a medical reason then no, not considered dodging...unless of course you were able to fake it.

Before you arrived cal did that once before with me and he knows exactly how I take it. So it was intentional. Fool me once shame on  you. Fool me twice shame on me.

And you are welcome. Thank you as well.

Typical dishonest hypocrisy. I never once called Texag names, but started referring to his irrational cowardly sniping at Pres Trump, only after he started whining about my opinions, and called me a fool.

Then he referenced me again. But that is what liberals do - they dish it out, but can't take it, then they go and cry that they are an "innocent victim of..."

    Their emotions cause them to be hypocrites - they like smarting off and name calling because it makes them HAPPY when THEY do it.

    I thought Tex and I were online friends, but then he got a burr up his nose and went haywire.

Thanks but I was in the Air Force...so that shouldn't count to you Marine and Army guys. lol.

There were two classes of people I counted on to cover my ass, artillery gunners and AF pilots. You will never have any idea how much I appreciated the service of both of those parts of our armed services and the people who supported them so they would be there on call 24/7. I would not still be here otherwise.

BTW do you know how a fairy tale differs from a war story?  One starts out with, "Once upon a time......" and the other starts out with, "This ain't no shit, there I was..."   LOL!?

congrats on all the compliments Vapor

lol. there is no way i could have predicted this is the direction the thread would go 

It's not that I'm against memes. I'm against the shit use of memes, the butchering of memes, or presenting a blatant lie as truth in a meme. 

So, basically the bulk of what gets posted on here. 

There are studies showing older folks are more susceptible to fake news. They didn't grow up with the internet and can't distinguish between real and fake (or choose not to). I'm sure that ties into the type of and use of memes on here. They're all on Facebook getting increasingly political polarized sharing fake news with each other. Sad!

If he hadn't decided on attending Michigan, he would have turned out fine.

I think it might have been the STEM program that fucked him up.

Again this isn't about Obama or Bill Clinton or Hillary. On the other hand Timothy McVeigh served his country. Was there a point?
