Well... I got well taken care of... thats me in my pic in Iraq. playing guitar in a small 4 person lookout/communications post we built. I was paid well, fed, given shelter, great equipment and training. The bad things about the military are ***** the the ass details and missing home. I got out, don't get messed with, and got a great job. Even after I got out, I've seen all kinds of benefits and help come my way. I don't actually know anyone who isn't or hasn't been taken care of except a few lazy people and ***** ***** or alcoholics. Everywhere you turn, someone wants something extra for soldiers. We get plenty... thanks. If its specifically American soldiers your worried about then guess what... get Obama on the phone before next week because he's sending more out to Afgan...
