Just to let you guys know, you are fighting for us, for our rights to be what we want and say what we want, even if that means bashing on you guys for being both idiots and illiterates. Therefore, no matter what you say or call us, you make yourselves look bad! Jokes on you!

If you were any smarter, you would not post your names with affiliation to the army because you already show bias. And its especially idiotic to do so while responding to an article that calls you guys liars. It is also stated that you guys have a motive to lie because you didn't meet your quotas for the given years...I don't think anyone who just finished reading the article is going to believe what you say...even if its true. Oh and by the way, just because you "know a lot of guys" who reaped the benefits of the military, statistically speaking, they are just the minority... Look at all the army guys getting cheesed off.

These people have TOO MUCH pride and will not stand up and admit that the military DENIES BENEFITS for any possible reason. They feel duped and ashamed of their stupidity; therefore they want you to join in their misery! MISERY LOVES COMPANY! Why are there so many homeless veterans on the streets of any given city if all they had to do was go to school courtesy of the GI Bill? Recruiters LIE! The money allotted by the GI Bill (which you have to pay into) isn't enough to scratch the surface of a 4-year stay at a university! There is NO such thing as a PART-TIME WAR! You will go to war and the possibility of dying is very real! 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks a year of bullshit! Guardsmen make up OVER 50% of the soldiers & troops deployed to war zones! Since when is 6-18 months of dodging bullets considered "part-time"? IF you join the military--YOU WILL LOSE! Don't say you weren't warned!

And we don't need any counter-recruitment activities going on. What we need is for the draft to be reopened so all the lazy ass americans who refuse to fight for their country can finally put in some work instead of leaving it up to the people who took on the responsibility with honor. A military nation is a strong nation, one rarely affected by the problems our economy is affecting our nation today. Im sure this isnt politically correct, but i dont think someone named Ali Samee is the person we want organizing counter-recruitment efforts. Its too cliche for an american towelhead to do something like that. That situation reeks of terrorism. It is common practice for army and marine recruiters to visit highschools Ali.

I am using Tuition Assistance....haven't touched my GI Bill. When I do use the GI Bill, as so mamny others are doing, I will receive between 1500 - 1700 per month. I have served 23 years and my brother is also on active duty. I could have retired three years ago; but why? I have a job with great benefits and pay....compare them.....really! There will always be liars... recruiters, parents, preachers, teachers and....let's not forget the applicants. There is always a chance of being killed. I was driving home from work yesterday when a driver decided to overtake me on the right as I proceeded into my right turn off of the highway. He asumed, I believe, that I was turning left...the right blinker must have confused him. I don't know if it was the sun in his eyes or the fact he was travelling about 90 MPH...but he could have surely killed me. It's safer on the ships. Come on folks.....our starting pay is public knowledge. Our benefits are governed by the VA...not Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines. Let your kids become men and women..... If you serve, Thanks! If you choose not to serve, Thanks! Isn't Freedom a blessing?
