    You do not offend me. You are however speaking your mind, and that is a good thing even if it is not popular to some. (Or to myself sometimes)

    I will allow you the peace of your position you have decided to take. That's settled and no point in trying to argue or convince you otherwise.

    However.

    Will you at least answer two simple questions? I burn with curiosity about them and are asking them nicely.

    1- If there is change wrought by Man against your Country, your Home and way of life how do you intend to serve if anything?

    2- Humanity demands somtimes that we must take risks to help in a million small ways starting with your Blood Family and working out wards. Even a City Block of relatively strangers might be recieving this help... Do you noit wish to help People at all?

    Personally Ive helpd many. SOmtimes myself. But I do not go selfishly wearing it on my sleeve as ot were.

    Here is my last thought for you. Should we have years go by time time, IU hope you would hve been able to change enough Be at peace and enjoy your rest this evening.

    Obviously, you're not military material :) Best not to join if you feel that way. Too many people in there just for the educational and other benefits.

    For guys like me, it's awesome to have an F-15 fly over head or to see 2 C-130's flying maneuvers low to the ground, chasing each other under radar. I guess it's a guy thing.

    Not necceasrily non-mil material unless he assaults a staff or wets his bed or displays specific traits and bahvior for hich he will be brigged, confined or shipped home COG. Or sent to a medical platoon and treated a certain mount of times to be recycled back for training.

    The Marines will break the individual, does not matter who it is. Myself included. Then when the individual is gone and I, me and my no lkonger exists among other things thta person will begin to be very crefully built into a awesome force with Teamwork once of it's greatest vices.

    The next couple of nights until Wed Midnight (Treasury Outage) combined with a ongoing Norh Korean Crisis made more severe by a personal and state level threat to destroy 'imperial Japan', Seuol to a burning ruin and give China a black eye. Soth Korea maintains it's relative calm, it impeached and removed a sitting president for the first tie in it;s history ever. (That should not be difficult provided adequate electiions in 60 days. Which I feel might not be held at all.

    Ou rown exercises are rolling along normally, FAL Eagle is a annual oe. CVN Carl Vinsion I think it is is near Japan or Korea, not that it matters she can be working over them both in 30 hours or less at a time. We have 300,000 Korean inantry on the line. And there are 28500 mech and invantry plus armor on the line at the DMZ. Thta is merely a trip wire. Norks own 10,000 tubes laid into Seoul for years and can turn that 15 million city into a graveyard in 7 hours or less. The first 5 hours sent in 30 seconds is going feel like a nuclear strike to many down town beffore the gas fires take hold.

    Go to classaleasing.com in Blaine.
    Pay to test or pay more to practice and test.
    Plenty of work in the metro just have to find someone to hire you w/o experience.
    You may be able to find a old school o/o that may offer to teach you a thing or two.
    First thing is to get a cdl and make sure you take all the endorsement tests prior to your road test

    OK, then get crackin' on that cdl and get to work. I'm a military veteran and understand where you're coming from on that issue. Many of us can see the big picture which puts it in perspective and some of us have only a myopic view which puts blinders on us like a mule pulling a plow across a field.

    Well thanks for at least slightly attempting to see my pov, I guess. Now if and when this country decides to stop trying to pass, and in many states succeeding in passing, laws that make discrimination against people like me legal then I might consider that route. If possible. Until then I'll proudly reject the option.

    To answer whoever, i want to be a veterinarian for a reason. I love animals more than people and helping a person's pet can help them. I enjoy helping individuals or groups who have done nothing wrong to me. I refuse to assist a person who's life goal is to keep me down, demean me, or straight up harm me.

    Also i didnt understand your questions at all. Just pointing that out.

    "Like you??" You must be a straight white male Christian then, because those are the only ones in this country having laws passed against them.

    They've got all sorts of new laws protecting homo's, terrorists, racial minorities, muslims, illegal aliens and whoever else.

    Hahahahaha no I'm actually, and proudly despite it being hard, a black male on the LGBT spectrum, and I refuse to point out where. I consistently see laws being passed and bills introduced that basically attempt to make my life a living hell. Laws passed and brought up by, and funny you thought I was one, white Christian men.

    I also am not religious, despite my name. I come from a very religious (and blame that for being very homophobic and aggressively transphobic) raised Catholic, converted to Christianity family. So religion is literally the last thing I care about. Though your comment made me laugh. Because it's funny and inaccurate. But thanks for the laugh, I needed it today.
