re: chiefpayne
madamfauntleroy,
"You are a man with a cold heart. Just so you know, the kids who join the military, most of them come from poor families, white or black. Your statement only shows that you and the warmongers in this country have such little regard for lives of people who do not belong to a certain strata of society."
Madam, you could not be more incorrect. I happen to currently BE in the US Army and worry about my troops all the time. BUT I know they are NOT children, but grown men and women who have made a decision to join the US military. Further, you are also incorrect in saying most come from poor families...they come from ALL walks of life and different backgrounds. Finally, I (like many currently in the military) am amused by your term of warmonger...no one who has to go fight a war WANTS to do that. What sane person would want to willingly get shot at? BUT, we swear an oath to do what our Commander-in-Chief tells us to do and, after being given orders, get in and do the best we can to get the job done!
Frankly Madam, I believe you should talk to the people in the military BEFORE making statements you don't comprehend.
