Vets have been getting screwed since the first day armies were formed. Basically a country organizes and forms an army when it needs, or just want to, fight with some other countries army. Sometimes hundreds of thousands or even millions of men are pressed into service. Once the war is over these men are no longer "needed", so governments give them a few medals, have a parade or two and send them back home, usually to an economy that's been devastated and drained by years of warfare. Veteran's "benefits" cost money, a lot of money. And very few governments are likely to do more than pay lip service to returning vets. When I got out of service in the seventies I was guaranteed educational benefits. The VA and the state paid for me to go to college. Now enlistees are enrolled in what amounts to a 401 plan for educational use. You want to do something for vets? Demand from your government that every enlistee on the completion of their term get; free life time healthcare at the doctor or hospital of their choice, free educational and or job training benefits, and a lifetime pension according to rank achieved. 
An authority on the subject has spoken....((((((( Mo )))))))....

....have any chance with bad long distance girls if they are very much younger, or older, or aren't perfect looking with commitment issues and have dogmatic differences....and are interracial with possible bi-sexual overtones? just wondering
If they both sleep standing up I think they will have a better than average chance..... |

I think the older we get the more we focus on mental and less on physical. It doesn't mean that looks don't count, but I do believe they don't count as much. Agree 100%.... |

I suppose one thing that you could do is to keep posting militaristic flag waving threads and maybe that would make them feel valued and appreciated. The problem that I have with that though is that a lot of servicemen come back from wars feeling that the whole business was stupid and awful and the last thing they want to hear is how what they did was great from people that stayed at home and sent them there in the first place, whether they were politicians, or tax paying "patriots" like yourself. The intent of this thread is not to be Militaristic or flag waving. You can be grateful to a portion of society because they have done something that should be respected, whatever their reasons for serving (family tradition, employment, education, or patriotism) as well as just be supportive of the need that is SOMETIMES identified as affecting a significant number of those who have served. It does not take a genius to figure out that military service has it's hardships even if a veteran never sees combat. I would question how many service members you have had contact with if you believe that service members believe they were sent by "politicians or tax paying patriots" since it has long been a volunteer force. At least in the USA. Even before it was a volunteer force many of service members Joined and were hot drafted. I can not speak for other nations. Since I have talked to a great number of soldiers from other countries services (and their families) while they were in reciprocal training and shared duty with US troops I can assure your concept was non existent. I never heard expressed "resentment" but in fact great gratitude because I just made them feel welcomed "in the neighborhood so to speak; not always a universal concept, because it was often a subject ignored. Perhaps yours is a limited exposure to soldiers with problems, or perhaps problem soldiers who were AWOL and hanging out in places that they were banned or at least "discouraged" from being. Alcohol and drug use is actively discouraged in today's military. Or maybe it is just my good fortune to meet elite troops who made every effort to be the best of their best. I have yet to have a service member ever in the slightest way resent being respected for being in the military weather they "liked" every feature of what it means to be a service member or not. Someone who gets it!...And can I just reiterate....IT DOES NOT TAKE A GENIUS to figure things out...More like manners, compassion, common sense, appreciation and a true desire to understand and HELP...Anyone who thinks our active military and our vets do not want this communicated to them by the civilians they serve would be a person I would have a hard time understanding....Well said Star.. Well said! Both of you. I meet lots vets from two (actually three) areas of my life. From the aviation end, many are quick to talk about life in the military and life after getting back home. The one overriding message that is heard over and over is "get rid of the civil servants at the VA". Although some vets profess good medical care, many tell long tales of woe trying to get the VA staff to "try" or "make a reasonable effort". More than one vet has told me they didn't get care because the staff "was on break". From another direction I cook for the public for various BBQ events. Vets like BBQ and they like to talk. I hear stories of very long periods of action that make the time actually spent in battle during WWII seem trivial (it is not). These conditions lead to PTS and stress at home looking for a job makes it worse. The government and business could do better helping to match skills with available jobs. The approach I have found works the best with a vet is to say, "I'd like to hear your story". Most have one and are willing to share over BBQ and beer. In all cases, talking about what happened seems to relieve some stress. I always thank them for their service. Joe, I am so glad you weighed in on this!...It is the same with me...I have met so many vets in my lifetime and they all say the same thing about the VA...They also become bitter as they fight, and fight, and fight for good medical care and the disability benefits they EARNED...We need to do more!...We need to do better...What I always say is..."Anytime you want to talk, I want to listen"....It took my dad years to open up to me and when he finally did I understood why...He was waiting for me to grow up...

I'm 19 and have just been looking to make friends with older women, and only more if we both decide we wanted to. I'm not looking necessarily for anything sexual right off the bat, unless again we were both okay with it. One problem is I guess I'm really shy, so I don't approach anybody in person, just try my luck over the internet. I guess it doesn't help that I'm not the most attractive. I'm not ugly, but I'm not the typical eye candy that might attractive older women :/. Also, when I say older women I mean 40-50ish range. Curiosity killed the cat...

The nukes were dropped on Japan to end the war and actually to save more lives had the war continued Do you really believe that ? 
 You really DON'T believe it?....
Just for the hell of it, I think I'll repeat this... After four years of war and approximately 48 million casualties, President Truman was faced with a choice to keep fighting or drop the bomb...When Japan turned down an ALLIED demand for unconditional surrender he made the decision to bomb Hiroshima...Two days after the bomb was dropped the Soviet Union declared war on Japan...For obvious reasons, that declaration lead to the decision to drop a second bomb on Nagasaki which forced Japan to surrender ending the war...President Truman was clear when he stated his reasoning as being strictly military, "Dropping the bomb would save an estimated 1 million US lives and untold Japanese lives"...Also, when the decisions to bomb were made, the scientific community had no knowledge about the long term effects of radiation sickness and since the first nuclear test was conducted in July, 1945, how could they?...Truman likened Atomic bombing to fire bombing...Ethically, the debate will never be resolved, but factually Truman's decision to use the Atomic bomb PUT AN END to the deadliest military conflict in history and the USA is RIGHTFULLY credited with saving countless lives world wide... |

would you settle ?

When choosing a partner are you fussy ? would you settle ? As far as flaws go, whats a big no no ? Tawt is right, it's a tricky question...I have settled many times and ultimately it did not work out...I'm thinking it's best to know yourself and know exactly what you can and cannot rationally deal with...Unfortunately, THAT has a tendency to become cloudy once your heart is in the ring..When I start making exceptions and excuses, I realize the relationship is probably not going to work unless one or both of us do some serious changing and the older we get, the harder that becomes...As far as settling goes, I think we all must be willing to settle to some extent because like everything else in life, there is no such thing as perfect.... |

Muscle vs Weight

With billions of adults struggling with muscle versus weight how truly important to you is it when getting in being being in a relationship? How do you think having too little just right or too much of either really matters and why? Please be respectful. A little either way isn't even going to be 'noticed' by me if I am into him...He is the "sum" of his parts and that is why I'm with him...In my world, muscle vs weight speaks way more about good health than physical attraction...I'm health conscious, so naturally I am going to be more attracted to a man who is the same...Everything just works better that way ...I relate it to smoking...As a reformed smoker for many years now, his smoking would be a problem mostly because I would be tempted to join him ...As for his physique, I want to savor every part of him and I want the same reaction when he is partaking of my body...That does not mean perfect bodies, it means perfect in our eyes ...I'm quite happy to work at keeping fit if it makes my man happy because if he's happy I'm going to be happy...I think body confidence is sexy....

Hello, I'm new to posting. Just broke up with a guy. Having a hard time what's the best way to get over a break-up? Any suggestions? Avoid direct contact with him, remove the reminders like pics and gifts (don't destroy them, store them)...Start doing all the things you put off when you were seeing him...Every time you remember something good about your relationship, match it with something bad...Use your support system of friends and family, they won't mind...Be patient...Don't rebound into another relationship, that will only add insult to injury...Good luck Stella!
