Isn't that what we need more in this Country, people helping people, instead of Bubba's so called 'entitlement mentality' thats been going on WAY too long? I THANK all Veterans and active Military for the freedoms I have. And if some people want to help others I think it is AWESOME. |
No, its not a bitch session at all, its what Bubba pointed out.
Is this the entitlement mentality that is so prevalent in the U.S. today hard at work? With people thinking they are owed things like this. Instead of working hard and saving your money and paying your own way....
Now I am not slamming anyone especially the troops whether they be active or guard ....
However the idea that there is no sacrifice when you
volunteer to serve your country is kinda unreal isn't it.
I don't know maybe Army can answer this. What are they being told by recruiters ? Are they duped into thinking that joining up will have no effect on your life. I certainly hope there is no sugar coating and I hope they get all the negatives......such as ...your gonna be away from your family and may not see them for an extended time.
I get the Military.com newsletter and this was in my email. Basic training
used to be tough but now ??? Wouldn't want to be a DI ......... Unfreakingbelieveable. WTF
