Moronic Civilian Commenters

Why do people who have never been in the military, let alone a combat unit, just assume that they know anything, or that their opinions on this subject have any value at all?

Does it really stretch the civilian imagination to figure out that the soldier next to you is your BLOOD BANK? The reason your blood type is on your dog tags is so you can get direct transfusion when you're pinned down and unable to get to an aid station for blood typing. Getting wounded is bad enough -- I have no desire to assume the completely unnecessary high risk in getting a pint of blood from someone in a group where the risk of AIDS, Herpes and a number of other fun STDs is astronomical compared to the general population. Yeah, let's recruit crack whores, too, and really send the Defense Dept medical budget thru the roof while we're at it.

Let's see you ignorant civilians line up to take blood donations from the guys down at the local leather bar -- let's see how far your liberal tendencies really extend.

As to whether this guy's opinion of the Iraq war actually mean anything ... please, don't make me laugh. His phony affection for the USMC and his willingness to expose his "buddies" to the risk he presents to them shows us his rather shallow regard for others.

This is just his little way of getting revenge for the USMC not jumping aboard to validate his "alternative lifestyle."

According to VA statistics, this clown is likely to cost the taxpayers roughly 40 times the dollar amount as a heterosexual male of the same age, over his lifetime. He scammed us once, and gets lifetime medical coverage -- my heart doesn't exactly bleed for him.
