Marsea,

If you truly are a veteran, I can only plead with you to stop writing in a public forum. Your horrifically unsupported points and uneducated remarks only serve to give military members an unfortunate verdict of guilt-by-association. I do not wish to be associated with your comments in any way shape or form. I can not imagine a single other veteran who would either. From the sounds of it, your greatest contribution to our nations' fine military was to leave it. Please do not diminish this contribution by speaking from the perspective of a veteran. Your perspective should be more of one who served with regret, having never really understood the honor of being allowed to serve.

To say, in front of a group of current and past military officers and leaders, that the military has no true leadership - only validates your ignorance.

The proud military veterans on this site will accept your silence as an apology.
