> Well, pardon me, but I was trying to figure out the purpose of the story, thus “Huh?”
Cheers mate — no offense intended! I wondered what part of my comment you hadn’t understood, so I could explain myself better. Now I understand that your “Huh?” was directed at the story — it’s not obvious from the excerpt what’s going on.
I think this young fellow is making a big mistake arguing his case in the media. Even if he manages to pressure the Navy into letting him go (or maybe even Obama?) he will lose alot of Respect from alot of folk for not doing this the right way.
I suspect he won’t be the first shirker to try and fail to wiggle out of his Navy commitments, and he probably won’t be the last.
10-4, mate:
I do like the notion of hunting pirates over baseball: can’t he stay in form by tossing hand grenades at these thugs?
Speaking of thugs, check out the story I just posted:
“Suspect Said He Planned to Rob Couple, Court Told
Man Charged in NW Slayings Stated He Torched Car, According to Documents”
Maybe we need our navy to prevent THESE a-holes from coming to the states, too.
To alter the old saying slightly:
If you can't do the time, don't sign on the dotted line.
