Retired Air Force. And yes, it really is an Armed Forces Branch.

Thank you.

Air Force, huh? That explains a lot of things.

I fear that it has reached such a level of corruption and dereliction, that if we voted them all out X3.. there would still be 545 "company" men/women standing to take their place.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the perfect example. He had more money than he could ever want going into office - now he is just a bought and sold left wing turd like the rest of them. If he cant stay straight in that sea of thieves and jackals, who could?

Government service. Hmmm...

I've worked for various local cities or counties for over 11 years now. Never went into the military. Does that count?

Depends... where do you fit in the 545 screed?

USMC reserve 77-83 Ooh-rah! To borrow the ad line from the Marines regarding the 535, "we are looking for a few good men" or women. You would think out of 300MM we could find 535 who would actually do the right thing rather than the politically correct, or self serving. What ever happened to the citizen legislator. We need to get back to that rather than career politicians.

When I was a "young boy", the Neth's not only had a career army. All male 18yr were tested and (if tested OK) had to serve for 18 months. Only those who were still at school, could serve later.
Well after another 7 years in school and university, I finally had to go in the army. Granddad served in WW-II and worked/battled in the resistance. He was the last male in our family! My dad, his 4 brothers, their 10 sons, my brother and myself didn't serve in the army! Several reasons, all by law submitted.

The young boys in the Neth's now have it easy; nowdays we only have an army of volunteers...
As my dad said: "Imagine it was war and nobody was going there..."
I feel sorry for all widows and mums with fallen son(s); The War is not ours, let the politicians fight it theirself...
