I served in Viet Nam and I think the current CIC and his monkeyhumpers don't really care what happens as long as their agenda is followed. Period. If anyone disagrees with them they attack and don't let the truth get in the way.
Keep drinking the koolaid, tk. If you had enough fortitude to follow the members of your family into the military, you might have something to listen to but as it stands now you are the same as every other chickenhawk.
