George, it seems to me that you sure have a big adz chip on your soldier.
What is your problem, you did not have to stay for the pension? Suck it up and stop wining.
I to am retired from the service and spent five years in Pattton's own out there at Hood. Sure I know what a draft is, that is how I got aquainted with the green machine.
To all the rest of you folks out there, whether you served or not, have a great week end, try to stay dry, and give a few moments of thought to all those who have served.
