Free Republic Military?
5/16/05 | Guard Dog

Posted on 05/16/2005 8:38:26 AM PDT by Guard Dog

I just read a post on conservative blog that stated few freepers were veterans (implication was that we were chicken hawks). Having conversed with many of you and met a few, I do not believe that is the case. But it did get me wondering, who among us is active or prior service veterans? Awright you freeper vets SOUND OFF!

This is probably going to be one of the longest threads in Freeper history...

I served 4 years (1954-1958)in the USN, aboard the USS Jarvis, DD 799, for three of them.I barely qualified as a Korean War Vet...

I say we form an ACTUAL Free Republic military.

With ships and planes and artillery and tanks and everything.

Then we go get Democrat Underground.

That is true combat experience. You must have the 1,000 mile stare. Looks like your in charge.

AMD and I have three sons serving. It may not count as serving but we would both rather be in harms way than have family in harms way. It would be easy to be a dove so being called a Chicken Hawk is lame at best.</p>
