    You are using it as a shield, as if it were. I wanted to know if was yours, or if you were using the link as a shield behind your comments. It appears it's just a shield.

    Not as much as I should. I live in a fairly small community. And you? I'm anxious to see how you are going to play this card, it should be fun! I've dealt with it before, so I hope you are prepared ;)

    Interesting answer.

    I have not been down there in three months since I had a fallout with one of the new counselors. Nothing to do with war peace etc, me and her didn't see eye to eye. Before that it was 5-10 hours a week. I still volunteer with the guys at the local colleges a few times every couple of weeks. But that is not a direct relationship with the VA, just their members.

    I also travel about 4 hours every two months to the nearest VA hospital for treatment.

    Now which branch of the military were you in? And how much time again do you volunteer?

    There ya are, I was just about ready to leave.

    Navy almost 10 years. Never saw a ship unless it was from 300 feet and 300 knots. I will let you figure what I did from that there.

    Then 2.5 in Pax River Maryland area working DOD.

    For your second question, I employed propaganda during a stint working in a SERE school for short time. I know how we use it on our own troops and how it would be used on us. The Navy gave me way to much information while I was there. They thought I was a career guy, so did I till I figured some things out.......

    *edit that didnt sound right, I have nothing against the Navy or Military at all. Just wrote it quick because I am already late. Figured "other" things out.

    make no mistake, gtech is not for peace, he supports military action as the solution for every problem

    he probably invests in defense contractors and hopes for as many conflicts as possible

    Both are incorrect.

    You might want to stick to calling soldiers dumb and punking people to steal your freedoms. You seem very qualified in those areas.
