Wait one minute, folks. Here we have TWO career military veterans, asking questions in good faith. There are a lot of rude responses to those questions above, and I think some apologies may be in order. Why mock his truck and ridicule his choices?
I think it is true that this truck will be the limiting factor and that it will not be easy to full-time in a trailer that is suited to that truck. But there is no reason to be dismissive or hostile, especially since their career choice (to serve the country and to protect us) is why they did not get rich and can't now afford a monster truck. I am grateful to them and hope that their dreams come true.
Questions can be answered in a respectful and civil way. And believe it or not, comments that are phrased pleasantly are often given more weight than those that are mean-spirited.
Sorry for the rant, but this thread really hit my hot button. (And no, I am not a veteran -- that is one of the biggest gaps in my resume, and it is too late now to fix it.)
