Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 That's Eurotrash for you, always willing to bend over backwards for people like that scum. Should have received the death penalty for his role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First it is charity cases like this that they let out. "OOOOh he has cancer and will die soon anyway...." The next thing you know we will free Khalid Sheik Mohammed cure this guy's cancer with free government health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing prevents a cancer patient from strapping on a bomb and becoming a "suicide" bomber. On second thought ... I think that he should be released. I would release him and put him in a room with the victims families ... if he walks out ... he's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for our service, we play the cards we're dealt. First Persian Excursion was easy compared to Iraq/Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, and compared with what those guys saw, I hesitate to call myself a vet.

Bullpen Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I hesitate to call myself a vet. Thread Jack Alert: I know exactly what you mean, we had a thread a few months back, where I kind of said the same thing. What I did in the military didn't have any direct impact on the greater mission. When I'm at a ballgame or something and they ask all the vets to stand up and be recognized, I normally don't stand up. Not out of shame or embarrassment, but I did what I did, I served my 8 years and I guess I don't really want to draw attention to myself. It was a job and a commitment, but I don't expect or need any ovation for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
