Hey, I've stated before I'm not a hugely patriotic person (more to do with the government/Royal Family) but I really respect the military (my father was a Sergeant Major and served for 25 years). Much respect to you for your service. 14 years ago I almost joined, but I joined the Ambulance Service instead which I was/am proud of.

This kid is nothing but a keyboard warrior. She clearly has issues with the military. You can rest assured she will get put in her place if she ever has the guts to say her opinions out in public rather than over the internet.. Especially in a military city like Jacksonville.

...either that, or she's said it just to be contrary, if so then shame on her.

She was full of herself and was pretty convinced that what was saying was 'right'. I'm not the only person she was debating with but I'm the only Vet so she launched her crap on me. Poor kid. It's a good thing I'm not a vengeful person. I could stalk her on FB without her even knowing and freak her out. But I have better things to do with my time.  

And hey, if you're happy with where your life is then good on you. My husband wishes he had enlisted but he didn't. He calls me his GI Jane. Lol

I hear so much crap said about the Army and I have to bite my tongue sometimes..

GI Jane, brilliant. Yeah don't get me wrong, my life would have headed in a totally different direction if I had've gone that route. I have no regrets at all, but I know with either of the choices I'd have made I would have a career to be proud of.

A position which I'm fortunate to be in.
