What is YOUR point here?? From the sounds of USAF's post, he was just telling us here at RT that he is being deployed to Iraq. There was NO reason for you to say what you said. What a WORTHLESS reply that was.

USAF, take it easy, keep us informed as best you can, and good luck and god Speed.

Good luck Brother. May God be with you. Keep us posted!!!

As for your post dg, I really hope that you did not mean that as bad as it sounded. But if so, then just be glad that there is people like this fine young man protecting your butt and your right to say stupid sickning things like that. Real classy man.

I decided to wait and cool off a while before addressing your post.

Maybe we do get paid to be away from my family, friends and life for a year or more at a time.

Maybe we do get paid to be shot at and have crap blow up while driving down the road.

Maybe we do get paid to put up with living conditions that are what they are.

And maybe we do get paid to lead some of the finest people on the planet, doing a job someone like you couldn't even begin to imagine doing.

But what we don't get paid to do is put up with bs like this from some couch hugging schmuck who's idea of sacrifice is having to wait an extra two minutes in the drive thru for his super-sized french fries.

If you were even a tenth of the man you obviously pretend to be, that Airman and his family deserve one helluva heartfelt and genuine apology.

Grow up.

Amen to that

Lets try really hard not to dwell on this. This thread isn't about a comment made by a Retired USAF person. If I deleted the mindless unfeeling comment. then I would have to delete almost every post after it too, and that wouldn't be right, because they show support for our/your armed forces in this difficult time of war..

An apology would be real nice.
