As a six year Navy Vet I don't need anyone's advice on when to leave the country either. I've been to Japan, China, Korea, Thailand, Australia, Malaysia, and the Phillipines. I've seen enough to know that this is the best place in the world. Can you tell it's my pet peeve when people complain about the best place in the world? No hard feelings. It just pisses me off. Like I said, that's the beauty of this country, all of us have the same right to say and do stupid things, and to interpret them the way we wish.
