I totally agree.... I'd LOVE to know how many of the people here insulting this guy for his 'lack of service, chicken-sh*t ways' have actually served in the military themselves?

If you have, don't reply to this saying, "I have, he's a coward" I am curios as to how many HAVE NOT.

F'n armchair soldiers.... I hate them all.

I second that absolutely. This guy has done his duty, and served his time honorably. I'd rather see them reinstate the draft and force those who haven't volunteered for military service go to Iraq. There is no reason the burden should be given only to those who had the balls and patriotism to volunteer in the first place. The military is not a life sentence. (yes, I'm a vet)

You're right man. I served 8 years active duty, meeting my obligation and then serving 2 more years to boot (4-year ROTC Scholarship). This guy probably has a legitimate gripe unless he was still being counted on IRR roles. The funny thing is, after being a civilian for 3 years I decided to join the Mass National Guard to start flying Blackhawks again. It took the government over 8 months to get me my Guard commission. If the government had tried to get me back in during my 3 years as a civilian, I'd have bitched too.
