Thousands of them will be poor Air Force and Navy suckers who've been sacrificed to the Army by their sorry leadership.

I guess that means that E-2 Smarg got picked.

How many convoys have you been pressed into participating in btw?

Why do you say poor Air Force and Navy suckers? Title reads TROOPS right? Doesn't the Air Force and Navy have troops? Duh. And why are they poor to you???? When I was there their deployments were much MUCH shorter the Army's. What, you feel sorry for the Air Force or Navy? Cry me a river.

Just laugh at him Vette, he makes these posts to intentionally stir the pot. Dismissing him is a much more effective counter to his grand design.

Please elaborate. Are you saying AF & Navy have loaned out troops to the Army? I've never heard this before.
