Correct! This has been part of the bonus of signing up in the military. Sad to say that most of our youth that join go in for service to their country, trust and faith in their country, experience and the ability to go to college at the end of their service or during. My father was able to attend the university after NAM and he was grateful that at least one good thing came out of that war. At this time soldiers are having to jump through hoops to get what they were promised and this should not be an issue! A promise is a promise for the possibility of one laying their lives on the line!

I will agree and disagree Kramer. Alot of enlisted at this time do not support this war and never did but did not have a choice an order is an order, one cannot call up "Uncle Sam" and state, "Hey Sam, I am ging to sit this one out because it is a sham" that is a good way to get a dishonorable discharge.
As far as followers and Middle class "McCain' supporters? I agree! All one needs o do is sit back and watch the show. McCain is a hot headed war monger, he could not even be civil when metting foreign leaders, lost his cool and mumbled something "Not needing to listen to this ****?" Is this the type of diplomacy we need or want? Being assertive and addressing issues is one thing but McCain has shown the inability to control his anger, all one had to do to confirm this was to watch the last debate! The look of loathing on his face was apparent, if scowls could kill BO would have died that night. He has not even discussed his mortgage plan one time, he has a crappy health plan as I have stated in other threads! Ugggggg. Wake up folks!
