Combat Jump Star has a synopsis of common myths about the US military. For those who don’t know CJS, he’s a duel citizen of Canada and the United States and has served 2 tours in Afghanistan and 1 in Iraq with the 82nd Airborne…. ( I dare you to tell him that the 82nd is the “little sister” of the 101st). Check out his debunking of some common myths; myths by the way, that are MSM or Leftist boilerplate:
1. All or most soldiers are rednecks from the South.
2. Minorities are being used as “cannon fodder” on the front lines.
3. Soldiers are uneducated, or less educated than their peers outside the Military
4. Recruiting is down

I will respectfully aggree to disaggree with you on the elitist issue. Well said on the NCO matter. 2LT Baker just showed up and in no uncertain terms implied I was not in the military and needed a sock in my mouth. The good LT was promptly issued a bit of 2nd Division tough love as only a fomer Manchu can deliver it. I suppose OCS and OBC never teaches aspiring butterbars the true meaning of ASSUME. Baker has a short temper and any poster here, who is former or present PSYOPS, WOULD LOVE PUNCHING THIS GUY’S BUTTONS. Without realizing it, butterbar Baker may have brought weight and substance, to my elitist point. Baker delivered it in the model of Gen McClellen, and the Prussian haughtiness of the likes of Marshall Kietel. Perhaps butterbar Baker idolized these two General Officers, while he was at OBC, and integrated it into his command philosophy. The God of War, Mars, only knows. At anyrate I respectfully turn over butterbar Baker to a well seasoned NCO, such as yourself. I hope there is enough of 2LT Baker, left over for you, after I gave him the verbal version of a ROK ARMY WHIPPING! Enjoy and a hearty Manchu “KEEP UP THE FIRE’, to you.

P.S. 2LT Baker is more than welcome to send me his P.O. box or address. My email is posted. I will be more than happy to forward him a copy of my DD 214, minus the SSAN. This will aliminate all doubt as to my military service and enlighten Mr. Baker as to the consequences of assuming too much!

As long as one has a U.S. green card, they can join the U.S. Armed forces. The only exception might be if they had not met the military obligation of their home country. Turkey would be a good example. I ran into an interesting situation: when I was doing duty at Camp Blanding, there were some Canadian Warrant Officers on TDY. The interesting thing was both gentlemen were British nationals. Evidently they can go back and forth between both services. Did any of our Canadian friends hear of such a thing? Note to any green card holders wanting to join the U.S. Armed Forces: your path to citizenship will be accelerated by a few years.
Hey guys:
Kim Jung Il is a prime example of why Kim Il Son should not have made it with a yobo, while he was drunk on soju. We know this. While thinking about those two inbreds, the most vulgar Korean insult, about a fellow’s mother, comes to mind. The only good commmie is a dead one.
