Who are friends?
This is a good way to get a bunch of American soldiers killed. (Washington post link - Bugmetnot is your friend)
I can see why these guys are pissed. I can see why they went AWOL. Rush me through a training cycle to ship me off half trained just in time to get killed? Yeah, I would be pissed off too.
This is just stupid. I am hearing rumbles of draft reinstatement, seeing reports like this, and hearing more and more building resentment on the part of the soldiers and the civilian populations.
Always a good idea.
I come from a military family, my father is retired air force, and my brother is Green to Gold in the Army. I am used to some of this. But the reactions I am seeing in this article, speak volumes about the amount of pressure that is being put on the military from above.
It has to stop or there will likely be a catastrophic failure. Politics have no place in running the military. They only serve to get us killed.
