Yea you chose to I chose not to. I realized the military was full of idiots & if in long enough those idiots acquire rank & power. I don't want my life in no way, shape, or form in any of those hands. You also have the political side where every officer is clawing to "get his" which in return screws all those under him. As for training I don't view sleep deprivation or exposure to extreme cold/heat as training. What does that prepare you for? Yea it's rough but that's it. It takes a little will power & mental fortitude. As for the physical side, it's nothing the average person can't do or could.

I agree with a lot of this. I won a ton of unit and group level airman of the year and quarter awards. I was great at my job, but I had zero respect for almost every member of my chain of command.

The majority of those who stayed in were those who couldn't make it in the real world. And no one wanted to give them EPR (enlisted performance review) ratings that they deserved.

Nearly every officer I've ever meet was a spineless tool. The only ones I liked were the bitter old lt col who knew they had made it as far as they were going to.

I almost joined the marines because I thought it would be better there. But when I was 18 I went to DEP meeting and meet ROTC kids for the first time. It was frightening. It was like their school didn't have a chess club, so they all joined ROTC.

I've never meet more wow playing rail thin cancer patient looking distance than I did in the military.

Police sources tell me more than a dozen witnesses have corroborated cop's version of events in shooting #Ferguson

If there are statements by those witnesses I hope they release them soon. That would I think give everyone pause.

Really? You think they won't be twisted into the "character assassination of the gentle giant?"

People are believing what they want to in this. And anything contrary to the party line is being dismissed as propaganda and lies. Why else do you think the protesters are still out there chanting "hands up don't shoot" any chance they get?

I don't think it will change anything as far as the hood acting out. The witnesses will be deemed liars by pretty much everyone.

Because they believe the friend and the young woman who have claimed he was giving up. If there are dozens of witnesses they are going to be black. I'm not saying the protests will immediately stop. But I do think 12 + black people saying, no, Brown was charging the cop, would diminish their resolve quickly.

No way dude. These people are animals. They see a reason to commit widespread violence and they are acting on it. This kid could have just come from a rape/murder that he committed and would still be the "gentle giant" and "a good kid" to this group of nut jobs.

Ever wonder why these folks dont protest when their own kind kill each other at outrageous rates?....
