A Morally Bankrupt Military: When Soldiers and Their Families Become Expendable

Anti Muslim? More like anti-terrorist or extremist rhetoric in the media.
I am sure that every single Muslim I work with or served with was'nt going to kill his own daughter, blow himself up or provide information for the Taliban.
I think the popular media would like to believe or think that Journalism elected Obama or overthrew communist rule in East Germany, or even freed the hostages in IRAN but it simply isnt true.
The media is all about making money and selling influence or marketing. Now that might be the narrow view, but I put up with three years of the worst of popular media in the UK. I can only think of something worse and that is the left wing media in the US.

If you are truly injured as I was in Service, the military absolutely won't force you to deploy, but lots of people come up with bullshit reasons they can't be deployed and the military tells them to go, and they cry. I guess they forgot they signed up to be in the military, and not some pansy flower corps.

On the opposite side of the fence once you do become a "broke dick" the military really has no idea on how to treat you "orders" wise, and that fucking pissed me off so much I made them get me out early because my back was fractured in 4 places, my ligament was tore up, and they lost half my combat paperwork, as well as my actual paperwork. So yea, I've seen both sides, but the military isn't morally bankrupt, its dumb kids who want free college that forget military sometimes means you're going to do shit you have no choice in.
