Shackone,

You should be ashamed of yourself for talking badly of ANYONE who served his country honorably and decided to move on - there are so few people who serve at all. If the rewards (whether fiscal, spiritual, intellectual or otherwise) are no longer sufficient to someone to continue to serve we should move on, say thank you for your service and there will always be others to fill the void. The career of a military officer is challenging and dangerous and we should honor the people who serve. The military is more than happy to dump people if the "needs of the Air Force" require it - see the RIF of the early 90s - when many qualified and deserving people were dumped or others were later passed over and thrown out.

All of you need to make the best decision for yourselves and your families:

Thank you for your Service

From a 22 YEAR Retired Lt Colonel
