You give someone the right to send you to certain death,

No you do not.

and to kill you if you refuse to go.

You are full of shit. You cannot be executed without a trial. In the history of amerika how many men have been executed for refusal to follow an order?

You agree to live anywhere they say under what ever conditions they say to.

No you do not. They are required to feed,clothe and house you.
Jesus you are phoquing stupid.

I did mention that when I turned 65% I was forced to drop tricare prime and take medicare, the cost of which is deducted from my Social Security. And Medicare doesn't have to pay all of your medical bills.

And yes people want to pass all kinds of programs to make everyone dependant on the government

If it were not for hillary's husband you would not have got a pension as a fifted e5, consequently you would be on gr.

and stick it to the military people who provided them with the security and safety to do so in order to pay for it.

What security and safety has the military provided in the past 75 years?

But he wanted to take money away from the troops, and if every aircraft he fought had been stopped we would have been flying F4s in Desert Storm.

Since you do not know shit about the f4 why are you commenting on it's suitability for desert storm?

Tell us of the great responsibilities of junior enlisted men(who make up the majority of the military).

Comissioned officers serve at the pleasure of the president.

Enlisted folk who have served 6 years active are free for life.

Of course you recognize that Enlisted personnel can and do command some Army units. They are usually small, but command is not solely the perview of Officers.

Why don't you take your condescension and put it in a shoe box and put a big pink ribbon on it and shove it up your ass.
On 881 n a lance corporal named stahl commanded a reinforced company because he was the highest ranking man still alive. I am not unaware of the chain of command.

That gives them literal authority over life and limb in a combat situation and actual authority over their subordinates daily lives. I was offered one such command as an E6. I did serve under two different commands of E7's.

I may have mentioned that I am aware of the chain of command.

Enlisted personnel are also resposible for millions of dollars in equipment that if lost or damaged thru negligence must be replaced by them (thru reimbursement).

Yeah right. How do you make a pfc pay for a tank or an aircraft carrier?
Who did the navy make pay for the explosion on that old battle ship a few years back?

Officers sign contracts just like Enlisted personnel.

No they do not. They are commissioned and serve at the pleasure of the president. If they choose to leave they must put in a request.

Officers can be called back regardless of how many years served.

I think I may have mentioned that officers serve at the pleasure of the president.

the 6 year committment of enlisted is subject to change if we were to declare war, institute the draft, etc. Depends on what the law is at that time.

No it does not. Expost facto is against the law in this country.

The one where MP couldn't go to his own mother's funeral because it wasn't "in line" with our travel from CA to AK. We had to report. The Red Cross didn't catch up with us until it was over.

I had problems getting away for my grandmothers funeral when I was at NSA.
Also while at NSA if we went 200 miles away we had to be on leave.

One would think that a mensa elligible would understand that it takes 4 hours to drive 200 miles and 4 hours to return. When you get off of work you have 16 hours before you have to be back to work. If you went farther than 200 miles you would not have time to drive it and sleep.
That requirement is common to all the services.

I guess the Marine Corp was much easier on their people than the Army or Air Force.

You guess because you don't know...which is pretty common with you.

At Maxwell AFB Al base housing controled the AC and heat.
The temp had to be over a certain point for a couple of weeks (and after a specific date) to turn on the AC and below a certain point (and after a certain date) for a couple of weeks to turn on the heat. How far over or below that temp it got didn't matter.

That is not dramatically different from many apt. complexes that are centrally heated and cooled.
