I'll Answer your Question RealName

The answer to your question is that you put them in a role deemed appropriate by a qualified M.D., in some cases this might be discharge, in others, back to the lines. I saw this often serving in Gulf War I.

I have three questions for you:

Why would you say something like "I know that control freaks tend to explode when you ask them simple direct questions, but give it a whirl. I'll wear a raincoat in case you burst.." when you have failed to answer fairly direct questions posed to you by Anonymouns?

Would that be irony or hypocrisy? I always get those mixed up.

I am assuming since you are not currently in Iraq, that you are both unfit and injured. Is this correct?
