They can hate us all they want as long as they buyt our crap and invest. This is all BS anyway. People are dying to come here. We have a great standard of living as compared to anybody OUR size. We can't duplicte a Norway or Sweden because of their size but they also get taxed to death. As far as freedon, what can't u do? What freedoms are being crushed. World wide we're all slaves to consumerism, who isn't. I'm headed to Japan in December, ur going to tell me they're not slaves to the latest technology.

I'm a soldier fire away.....but i must warn u first, I love my country...really don't give a rats ass about anybody but my fellow countrymen, realize that invading Iraq was first and foremost about OIL and whats in our stategic best interest. I have traveled everywhere and realize we are the best country despite our shortcomings and am in no way brainwashed. Flame on dude.

No flame friend, I'm a conservative and patriot, but IM GONE in the future.
There's greener pastures. Writings on the wall. Ill drink with some of your Bros who don't want to go back either.
After spending 20yrs in SE Asia, some just don't fit in the states anymore is the way they feel.

IMO our country is Fucked by the bureaucrats beyond repair. Illegals aliens, everything regulated beyond belief, no regard for small private landowners rights. It aint gonna get better tahts for sure.

20yrs from now Govt spending on public health alone will exceed GDP. that's JAO's own figures.
The Smart Money will be long gone before that.

There's SO much Bureacracy that the system is hobbled. Its breaking down.

We've survived far worse then any of this. As far as vets go...many become disillusioned with life period. America has very little to do with it. Regulation has gotten out of control..but its like that everywhere. A conservative repub is the only hope to change that.

Youre delusional if you think a conserv rep will change anything.  They will keep our country in the stagnant state it is in now.  Conserv rep's ruined our economy and our military the last 6 years!

Bush is in no way a Conservative and is barely a Republican. Our economy has its ups and downs but i'm not an economist and generally don't debate that crap here. The military on the other hand....the Clinton admin did far worse damage to our military..far worse. We'll rebuild after Iraq. It will take time...but if a flaming dem gets in, it will be that much harder.

So I suppose getting 3000+ of MY brothers and sisters in arms killed for nothing is better than what Clinton has done...last I knew Cliniton didnt get us into a un-winnable war... ::)

I simply prefer less developed countries with less law/regulations and more personal freedom.
No I wouldn't want to be a poor person there, but I cant even build a garden shed here anymore with out a major
political battle and I'm locally well connected.

Medical care in the USA is a JOKE. Bangkok has superior care. I'm dead serious.
My life is mine, Ive had enough restrictions placed and freedoms lost in the last years.
Being in Biz for yourself and making money is one of the only things the USA has going for it and thats pretty much been regulated to death also.

Yes theres plenty of poor folks that want to come here, but theres plenty of wealthy that live very well that dont.
 
Theres a much bigger disparity but I aint exactly gona be eatin out of a dumpster.

History has shown that them that get while the gettin's good were smart.

Just curious what Billy Bob Clinton did that was bad.
 Im not millitary, so Ill take your word.... I know he was not popular
with what I'd call "Real Soilders" seemed a understatment.
But Im seeing a lot of pain for nothing in Iraq IMO, but I aint been there nor am I making it a stop.

The USA is not hated in my destination BTW. We'z prolly the favorite tourist flavor there.

Im not sure what he did that is so bad either.  He wasnt popular with the military retards that dont know how to think for themsleves.  Those of us that can liked him.  There is enirely too much pain here in Iraq for NOTHING!

Yes I was in when Clinton was in office and yes I am still in.  I have been deployed all over the world including 3 tours in Iraq (currently here).  And I will tell you we might not have gotten as big of raises while Clinton was in office, but since this damn war started we havent gotten shit either so who gives a shit about that.

I was just at a reserve Buddys welcome home party and I was surprised at all the tax free bonus his wife told me they got. Seemed pretty nice realy. Cant put a price on risk, but Im surprised he got as much as he did.
Only fair, and even a little more wouldnt hurt a thing  IMO.

Wll I've done two tours and been in going on 15 years, in two services. I disagree about Clinton. He sucked. I did the Bosnia thing and am still wondering about that one. I was also pretty sour about eveything as regards the war when I was deployed so I kinda know how u feel. I'll be headed back within two years. Nobody cares about us, I don't expect much outa anybody at this point. What Service?

Trab..like NY said..eveybody is SF. I love running into these guys. U can't start interrogating them right away..I just start off slow. What base etc....what MOS..how long..where were u at...then if they get past all that..what group or Batt. I know enough folks to cover all the SF groups and a few Ranger Batts....Most don't get that far ::). U can tell right away anyway. Most guys will never say a word about it anyway.

That was before 9/11, they prolly all dead.

Philipines and S thailand has Islamic insurgency. Philipines in particular cant be ignored.
I doubt its been totally cleaned out. Some of The spooks up north Thailand stick out kind of bad too.
Guess Thats called semi-retirment. I think it pays better.
Lots allways going on there. That border cant be ignored.
