No it's the benefits and the money duh. Just because someone gets $39,000 for their education or a 30k or 40k bonus doesn't mean they are being used. I had a guy with a masters degree join and got over 40K of his student loans paid off. Are we using that guy or did he come to the Army for the financial opportunity? By the way he was a teacher at a high school and subbed at a college but he could make more money and have better bennies in the Army, imagine that!?

We are increasing pay and benefits to be competitive with the civilian world. Until recently the economy was very good so we have to be competitive with other companies that hire young people hence the bonus money. Sure Iraq is a factor but I can tell you from experience that most of the people we put in in this area it's not really that big of a deal. I guess you would like to get on a podium and tell all the military members that are serving their country they are being USED. You are definetely showing the signs of being a good democrat. Congrats.

Don't worry Weezie - most of us with some snap - know exactly what you are saying. It's only a few that just don't get it. It's thier typical stereotype mentality (if you disagree with me you must be "unamerican")................. they try to dazzle you with bullshit but in the end it's still bullshit.

Yeah if you can't dazzle them with brilliance .....baffle them with bullshit. (WC Fields) foflmao

Baffle away dear...baffle away.

I just disagree that are troops are being "used and abused". Those are some pretty harsh words for people that volunteer. If they were drafted it might be different.

AoO, a bit of advice. NEVER wrestle with a pig(libbie),you will both get dirty(pulled down to a level you are above), and the pig will like it !!!! If they feel that B Hussien Obama( Nicolae Carpathia) is their chosen leader no amount of truth and fact and reason will change a closed mind.

I just get riled up when I have to defend our soldiers against people saying that soldiers are used and abused. It's a good thing we have those soldiers willing to BE abused and used so people can say that about them...sheeesh

I understand that there are cases of hardship but no where does the military set out to abuse a soldier nor use one.

Boy, you sure have a thing about his name! I never see you post anything about John Sidney McCain III, or Michael Dale Huckabee, or Willard Mitt Romney for that matter. It makes me laugh! Keep up the good work.

If your little mind can see no farther than his name and think of him as the anti-christ, then I feel sorry for you. By the way your bigotry is showing!

Hussein just jumps out at you though for some reason.


Man..I thought Mitt was bad but now I know why he goes by Mitt. No one would elect a Willard...come to think of it I guess we won't elect a Mitt either...lol
