i am curious, how many of you share some level of paranoia about anything? doesn't matter what it might be that you fear, but what steps have you taken to protect yourself in the event of your fear happening? i'm not talking about zombies, or something laughable, i mean something real. tornado plan? those near the south, hurricanes, floods, etc?


(i ask because i saw a news article on yahoo, that was talking about how people are "preparing" more, as a whole, globally)

i'm glad you now consider yourself an expert because you put out for a guy in the military

as funny as the mental image is, you CANNOT absorb knowledge through osmosis

Oh yes, because I haven't had to live with the affects of anything he does... you know, the lack of vacation time, the constant field trainings, ... none of that. Oh and what I know of the military does not come from what he tells me (or injects into me with he penis). Most of it comes from a group that I am leader of here at Fort Stewart, the Family Readiness Group. Forget the fact that my husband is gone right now since Monday and won't be back until Wednesday, will be gone again for three weeks in August, will be gone the entire month of October, and then deploys out in December for a year to Iraq, literally 2 weeks before our baby is due.... Yeah, the Army has no affect on my life at all.


I certainly don't try and educate myself on anything since my job is to cook and clean and pop out children.

Seriously, Brandon, live in a hole with your ammo and armor. Just stay out of normal people's way. We'd rather not put up with your kind.

nice speech, except it completely ignores what i was saying in the first place. what do YOU know of the military's intentions? what does your husband know? he's a little cog in the big machine, it's not like they're making it known to him what he's ACTUALLY going to be doing. he's a military man. he's expected to sit down, shut the fuck up and not ask questions.

there is prolly a million contengency planes for everything, and prolly the majority of them will either fail to poor planning, or aren't feesible for our military to execute. but because they have the "plan" on paper, they lessen their liability when they fuck up.

I grew up around the military. I have no problem with it. It protects us. If it weren't for the military, we would not be The United States of America. I think there are bigger issues out there than bitching about the military. You haven't served your country, put your life on the line for the sake of this country or another country so really you can't speak. Sure, my husband hasn't done that yet either; but come December he will be. I have a lot of respect for the people here. It's an infantry brigade, meaning they see a lot of action, lose a lot of men, and fight the fight longer than other types of units. The military in and of itself has only one intention: get the job done. Technically, I think that CCMRF mission is considered unconstitutional by some because the Army is not supposed to be assigned to state matters like that. *shrug* I think it's just the government's way of having a better back-up plan for occurrences like Katrina and 9/11.

You speak so poorly of our military, yet thus far history has shown it to be one of the best in the world, if not the best. Yeah, there are screw ups like Korea and Vietnam, but one the greater scale, we have done well.

It just really seems to me that you have no idea what you are talking about and have NOTHING to back up what you are saying. You just want to have an excuse to have a shit ton of unnecessary weapons and armor. That's cool. You found a hobby, but stop throwing politics in the mix. You sound like an idiot.
