Remembering my time in the Military...

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Homesale Realty

I remember during the first gulf war, actually when it started it was called Dessert Shield.  It then became Dessert Storm I think.

Anyway, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, we were put on 12 hour shifts instantly.  I actually was working 3 to 11 and just got in bed around 12 or 1 and I had a knock on the door and was told I had to go back to work until 3 am.  So, I got dressed and went back in and did basically nothing until I could go back to my room and get to sleep.  Then the next day we went in at 7pm and stayed until 7am.

These hours continued for about a year and gradually went from 7 days a week down to 6 and then 5 and then stopped at 4 days a week.  It was great having 3 days off!!

During that year, I had been shot at, almost stabbed and close to death several times.

All except for the BOLD print is true and in light of what the fine Hillary Clinton has recently said, I figured I would ad to my story too.  How can people fall for all of her nonsense when she lies about things so openly and easily.  If someone can lie about something that really happened in their life time, how much easier is it to lie to get elected, etc...

Sorry, I had to put you through this but these lies are a sign of a SERIOUS character flaw that our elected officials can not have!

This is sad that the poor democrats have these two to chose from.  What a choice!!  I would not trust either one to baby sit my kids for the weekend!

John: It is a shame that people fabricate their life stories. Especially politicians. Hillary really has issues. She is trying to prove that she is competent, but the opposite is true. Obama is worse. Sitting under that minister, I know what he wants for black people. Reparations. He has been associated with black groups that are trying to legislate white people pay black people for their part in the slavery period of American history. We know so little about obama, truth must be told.

John:

Hillary is a disgrace to the men and women of our armed services.  Our military personell guarded her fat butt with their lives and then she goes and says she was under sniper fire?  She should be tried for treason and strung up.

I apologize for holding back and not speaking my mind.

Simon,

I'm out here just like you.  It's not "two" but three; Burress, Goglucci and Krone ... the three mouseketeers.  Their GW-like "bring it on" is what the problem is.  I take solice in knowing that they only make up 30% or less of the electorate these days but it should be so much lower.  Remember that even General Eisenhower warned us of the "military-industrial complex" to which we can now add "big oil".  PBS's "Frontline" has pretty well documented the incompetence of these neo-conservatives and of their committment to get us into Iraq no matter the reason.  Why is it we don't see any of them in uniform, or their neo-conservative friends and family?  They prefer the rewards of war and none of the pain.  Hillary's lack of accurate recall about something that happened to her is not the problem, gentlemen.  How does that compare, in your minds, with Cheney's multiple deferments and GW's "guard deferment"?

Bill,

Deferments are one thing.  Saying something happened while you were somewhere and it did not is another.

Thanks for your comments.

Bill - go take a look at my blog on Clinton. SHe had trouble remembering that too - and she nearly cost a family (a great public serving American family I might add) - it's life.
