Its sad that people choose to fight for your right to have free speech and you can't even think of that before you open your mouth. Everyone has the right to their own opinion but it doesn't always make it right. JS
Drench, blame the institution and the US government all you want, but the aberage American soldier is not a monster. You accuse us of all being racists, but I don't know anyone who respects Arab and Muslim culture more than soldiers. When you work with them and call them comrade you see the entire culture differently. I know our reasons for entering Afghanistan are sketchy, but the intentions of the men and women who volunteered are pure. When we walk through those streets we aren't met with fear, people are grateful to us, they also despise the terrorist cells that are tearing their country apart. But you know what maybe I should apologize for what I did there. Should I be sorry for helping build that school? For medically evacuating over 100 Arabs? Maybe I should be called a terrible person from saving 3 young boys from being sex slaves? But I think what I did in Afghanistan made the world a little better place, and I hope others continue to add to it.
this isn't bait, this is my actual opinion, whatever you think of the military, this man still abandoned his family.

He didn't abandon them. Think of ijt as a work trip. A highly dangerous work trip. Soldiers are allowed to visit home. It's not like he disappears for 5 solid years
if my dad left for work and didn't come back for a year i'd say he abandoned us.

Then that's your own personal problem. Soldiers don't leave forever unless they die, but at least it was serving our country.
My brother and 2 of my friends are in the military and they're home pretty often
