    Time off...why

    To go completely crazy....to allow the PTSD shot they just took in Iraq to wreak havoc on their minds..?

    Begin the 3 years it will take for these 'soldiers' to completely melt down, lose their families and hide from the world until they eventually commit suicide in 7 to 10 years..?

    Better keep these guys really busy - in therapy, and maybe some acid or ectasy or something can erase the mental damage absorbed from this slaughter.

    These are not the best and the brightest...so no loss for the elite class...

    Watch, wanna bet Halliburton (really a fine company) or another thief of the masses is moving into the HMO/Mental health business...how can they make money off of these poor patriotic imbeciles from the midwest.

    Webb's heart is in the right place as is the others who joined

    ...soldiers are going to need mental health care...spend the money there!

    Or you will be spending it on private-contracted Halliburton prison camps in the Midwest to keep their biomass alive for the profit/investment value.
