Ensuring Military Readiness Through Stability & Predictability Deployment Policy Act

This act was recently passed by both the House and the Senate. In short, the bill ensures that U.S. soldiers will spend an equal amount of time between combat and home.

Does this mean that even if there is no war going on that our government will start one just to keep U.S. soldiers at home and in combat for an equal amount of time?


'Cause damn....that'd be pretty cool.

 

even though america is drifting from being a superpower with ever increasing speed?

and if we did that, we would very quickly be overwhelmed, defeated, and our government would be overturned by people who had different ideas about how to run our lives

 

more than likely, those that voted for it don't even know what it means, so i certainly can't offer any insight on its implications

 

I'd be concerned about S1927 if we were going to freak out about any bills lately

 

Protect America my ass.

 

Like we haven't heard that one before

 

And it's been proven true. Compare the influence you have now in former proxy countries. There is no Pax Americana anymore.

 

blah blah blah you live in Canada blah blah

 

even tho you're off at bct.....again (btw you are by far the most unpredictable and indesicive person i know)

where has your mind gone? I certainly hope that you were being sarcastic when you said "cause damn....that'd be pretty cool"

i'm sure you have no true idea the pain that comes with being deployed. not only does it effect you, it does effect your family as i'm sure you know since you're an army brat. you think it'd be COOL? riiiiight.
lemme tell you something about being a wife of a soldier who is currently deployed over in iraq. it's the hardest thing i've ever endure in my life and I HATE the fact i go to bed every night not knowing if my husband will make it thru the day alive, not knowing what hes really going thru bc he can't tell me what goes on over there. not details at least. it's a torment on his mind. being away from his family, his daughter, his wife and friends. not having an outlet to really vent, being dicked around by an asshole chain of command, not being able to sleep bc all you hear are mortars, bombs and IED's going off at all hours of the day and night. only getting one day off a week and even that has proven pointless bc the sgt's still task you out when they know you havent had any sleep, living in an average 140 degrees daily life. the only thing that keeps you sane are letters from home even talking to those at home isnt encouraging. you get jealous at the people back home bc they aren't suffering like you. you get miserable so you make everyone else back home miserable bc after all "misery loves company", pretty soon you start think whether you're gonna make it, can you last another day in such a place, you start thinking that no one back home remembers you, no one cares. you grow bitter and you hate everyone. including your family. including your wife and child. (if you have one that is).

i dont know what happened to you chuck to make you really think that being at a constant state of war would be "COOL" but i hope to god you were being sarcastic bc if not, then im sorry to say that your mind has gone to shit. in my opinion. i dont kno who influenced you into believing that war was awesome. what was the fucking point of you getting out of the army in the first place if you were just gonna re-join? i thought by living with your dad and living life as an army brat would have given you some insight on what the army is really like. it's nothing like those commercials is it? in the end, the army screws you over. its not about how much you've done for the army it's who you know that matters right?

I know that everyone changes, that's inevitable chuck but when you start thinking that being at war would be awesome, thats when you gotta really re-evaluate things in your life.


and yes i know that some of you may say "they knew what they were getting themselves into when they joined the army" however it doesn't become a true reality til you're actually doing it. it doesn't hit you and then when you'rein that moment that the light has been shed on you, it's too late to back out. you wish you could go back and change your mind. it doesnt just affect the soldier. it affects everyone close to that soldier.

 

You know... I'm about 90 percent set on going for a doctorate or something. I just want something extreme. For some reason, this kinda made me want that more.

Quite frankly, I'm just a little bit tired of asininity. Those who live by the gun, die by the gun, he that of which is mightier than the sword scribbles. I wouldn't be satisfied until I lived life as a scribe.

But George! Chuck says that those who scribble (see: artists) are a waste compared to those who carry (and fire) guns! He must be right... right?

 

i wonder if the president agrees with chucks opinion. didn't president bush get out of fighting in the vietnam war? or how did the story go? wonder how much president bush would support the war if it was him on the firing line. ooooooooooooh
