Veterans Day

It is a shame that even though this forum is for people, including me, that no one has even brought up that it is Veterans day. Because most of us, not all, are in a drug induced haze, or detoxing or clean, We forget that a lot of our fellow Americans are out there and have been for 100s of years fighting for us, so we could could be in a country like the USA and get doped up if we want. I am a veteran of the United States Navy and served on an Aircraft Carrier for 4 years, so all of you could sleep peacefully at night and go on being happy on your pills, and not worrying that someone is going to come here and take away your freedom....... But hey, I understand.                      JayDean

I would think that alot of veterans frequent this board.  I served 15 years in the US Army and would do it again in a heartbeat.  Don't forget that these soldiers know exactly what they are getting themselves into.  Combat is a scary thing and soldiers are trained from the start on how to survive.  It's sad and no one likes to think about what can happen.  In today's military not a single soldier has been drafted.  We have an all volunteer force, which is part of why our military is so strong.  As far as it being BRAINWASHING, I disagree.  It's COURAGE.  God bless each and every soldier who serves now or who has ever served.

Hun, no apologies needed on either end.  I believe you are a genuine person as well as I am.  we do have mutual respect here.  we are going thru tough times right now and its bad enough debating politics and religion when we are "normal"  congrats on day 3  that was one of my worst days........after 4 it seems to get a little better.  Let's keep our focus  on our health and wellness and our blood pressure down.  I love lobster too.  Maybe someday when we have a year or so under out belts.......we can throw down over some lobster and a beer.........lol.  take care of yourself hun.

Luv,
Nauty.......................

I am so sorry Naughty, My damn emotions are running high from the WDS. Its now 73 hours, thats 3 days. I apologize and hope you accept it. I am really a genuine person, but like you I was boiling too, and we are all entitled to our opinions. Mine is not the only one correct. I have to respect yours also whether I believe in it or not.  I love LOBSTER                 JayDean
