FEMINIST? We can go back and forth on this one...Did you read the guy's other posts? He was mocking her but you're too dumb to realize it.

If you interpret my suggestion as crying, then I guess all you ever do on here is cry.

LethalKris6, If these guys really are not in the military then double shame on them.

I have made very clearly in previous posts that I am considering the US Army or the US Air Force.

It does not matter if he/she is a boy/man or girl/woman.

Once you sign up with Uncle Sam. You had better come prepared as a man or a woman ready to take on military duties.

This isn't the boy/girl scouts. This is about national defense & life and death stuff period.

If the nation got attacked, for example of course the draft gets started tomorrow then this IRR discussion would be worth nothing. You get your draft card from the Selective Service and you report for military duty.

I don't think I made it clear that I understand the human need to moan and piss about the IRR but I am speaking about holding yourselves to a higher military standard.

The IRR system is in place for a good reason. If I was in the service, I got called for IRR duty.

Would I be upset that my life is put on hold while I report for combat duty?

Yes but if Uncle Sam calls you then you had better come ready as a man or a woman. That is the whole point.

In addition, LethalKris6 only seems to be on here to attack people and not to discuss the IRR topic of this forum. She doesn't seem to have the ability to man-up like SGT Hester. I wish there were more fantastic Warriors out there like myself and my fellow patriots who are not just WILLING to continue the fight against our enemy - terror - but also more than capable of doing so. Maybe if the military increased the requirements needed to enlist in the first place, we would have more top-quality professionals like myself and less people like LethalKris6, Micheap, Hugh G., and SpySkark69 causing accountability and training problems.

Rangers all the way!

While I agree with most of what you say, I hardly think that you are in any place to tell those that have already served or are currently serving what their contract means. With all due respect, you really don't have the perspective that those of us that have served and have actually been in the IRR have. Yeah I give them a lot of shyte for shirking their contractual obligations but I did 5 years AD, time in the IRR, time in the Reserve, and am back on AD. I know where they are coming from because I have been there. Yes you have some valid points but you lake perspective. Have you even seen the amount of paperwork one signs to get in the military? I know everyone always says to read everything before you sign but the sheer amount of paperwork involved makes a lot of people just sign, inital, etc wherever they are told to get it over with. I have seen it literally a hundred times. Another point you may want to consider is that yes it has always been part of the DD 4 but until a couple of years ago, initals were not required on that page and I would be willing to bet at least a couple MEPS lincos or Recruiters might have "forgotten" to even print up that page. With that said, I do think they should honor their obligation and I tend to give them a load of crap about their whining but I KNOW where they are coming from because I have been there. You are welcome to your opinion and more than welcome to express any and all opinions you have but please try not to judge too much until you have walked in those boots for a while...

Well, I wish more people understood what the military really is all about.

It is not a place to run away from your problems, to escape the streets or to get some college time put in for a diploma or any of that stuff.

This is about national defense and being ready for war at all costs, in both peace and wartime.

If one is not able to figure that out then he or she should not enlist in the military until he or she knows that the # 1 priority is to train for war. Everything else is secondary.

I also wish there were more military professionals in uniform.

Not a bunch of crybabies or chronic whiners.

Maybe the standards need to go up as one earns a stripe or a bar each time.

This would eliminate the crybabies and weaklings until the only thing left are hard-core military professionals that will make the U.S.A. proud and blessed to have such men and women serving our great country. The Land and the Home of the Brave.

You have no idea what the F you are talking about. Most military members may complain but we are all military professionals. You are a civilian and you are entitled to your opinion but you have no clue what you are talking about. Maybe the standards need to go up? Are you insane? Do you know how many people already cannot possibly qualify for accession into the military? And of those that do qualify, how many are actually interested? Why do you think every branch spends so much $$ on Recruiting? It isn't because we have a bunch of whiny cry babies breaking down our doors to join the military I can tell you that. As someone that has been in the military in various capacities for over 14 years, I can tell you that everyone joins for their own reasons and everyone either stays or goes for their own reasons. The moment the miltiary dictates what reasons people must have to get in/stay in/ or be promoted is the day I will be counting the days until I retire. You might want to think before you type next time.

There is no shame in saying I am civilian because that is what I am until I enlist in the military and experience what you guys experience at work.

I am entitled to my opinion just like you are entitled to your opinion.

You may have forgetten that I along with the millions of taxpayers pay the taxes and the military has to be the best at all times.

I think those who want to become officers in the military will truly want to be officers and nothing will stop them from becoming professional military officers.

I would wait to see what Sizzle-Chested Soldier and Lethal Kris6 has to say.

100% correct. you are a civilian and you are entitled to your opinion. You may have forgotten that the only reason you are ALLOWED to pay taxes instead of forgoing all of your earnings is because of those of us that ARE in the military that you have thus far disparaged though your ignorant opinions. Believe what you want. That doesn't make it any more true. So you are saying that you are a POS because you plan on enlisting but all officers are on the moral highground? How about the Maj at Ft Hood. You REALLY think that nothing will stop HIM from becoming a professional military officer? REALLY? Surely you can't be as ignorant as you seem to be....
