Soldier wins $1 million lottery jackpot, will return to Iraq

Absolutely.  I commend him and others like him.  Praying for his safe return too.  It seems like the good ones die young.

this makes me sick...

you would never see a Sailor do something that stupid. I was watching a show about lottery winners the other day. a guy in the Navy and his GF won the jackpot...HE DID THE RIGHT THING!!!...JUMPED SHIP!!! (legally of course)

FTUSAF!!

FTUSA!!

FTUSN!!

FTUSMC!!

FTUSCG!!

There is NO Dishonor in a discharge under his circumstances. as a matter of fact the Armed Services would prefer that you discontinue your active duty service! (for reasons that some people could and would use that money to munipulate their chain of command)

Now before you begin raising cain, I was in the Navy for 7 years. and after it was all over, I realized something. that the Navy was a job, an erra in my life that I grew tremendously from, but it is also an erra in my life that is over!! I have moved on.

Thats what this guy needs to do...is move on with his life...did he consider what his family would have to go through having him gone?

A million doesn't sound like much, but he could have opened up a small buisiness and stayed home with his family....

I'm sorry, I don't love my Country, the Navy, or Honor more than I love my Wife, and Family!!!

you want honor?...then start thinking about those close to you and how your decisions effect them!!!

Don't give me that mumbo jumbo about fighting for "Iraqi Freedom"...there fighting for Corporational Economical Profit

I think the guy is brainwashed into believing that he is doing the right thing... and eventually he'll look back and realize how damn stupid he was...

"Semper Fi....do or Die!!....OHH..RAH!!!"

I work with that mentality every day...and it makes me freakin sick!!!!

You don't have to wear a uniform to have Honor!!

Ahh, being a patriot is "STUIPD" - what a true human being you are.  Your grandparents must be proud of the creature they created.  I am sure the founders of this country would also be proud of you.   You are proof, abortions are not exercised to there fullest extent!

I never said Patriotism was stupid...I Love my Country, and I excercise my Patriotism every day by supporting and peacefully defending the US constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I believe in the freedom of Speech, freedom of the Press, and I promote "Free Thinking" these very American Ideals are what founded this Country.

the difference between you and me, is that I love this country and the ideals it represents, you use them as a punchline when its convienant.

This is not China, or Russia this is America!

My Grandparants, (God rest thier souls) were proud as would be the founding fathers of this country, that I support and defend ones rights to thier own belief systems wether or not I agree with them or not.

My family comes before my country now, period. to me there is no higher Honor than being a loving husband/father, mother, daughter, etc...and a productive member of the community.

I personally believe that there was no need for him to go back to Iraq...he did his time, he should move on with his life.

I wasn't bashing the soldier, I was critizing the very belief systems that the RIGHT WING Minded Military teaches. whats ironic is that I used to think like him!

He believes he's making the best decision....I don't think he is...

you may not agree with my opinion, but I am still entitled to it. further more, that does not give you the right to bash my family or the way I was brought up! that was way out of line.

my question to you, is did you ever serve your country?

"to those who fought for it, Freedom has a specific flavor that the protected will never know" 

Hypocrite personofide.  You want to exercise you believe in the first amendment, but get your fur up when I exercise mine.  You can have you opinion, that is your right. But like a typical coward, you shudder at the thought that I disagree.  What is not you right it to motor mouth about some one who wants to defend America as stupid and think you are exempt from being torn down. You have a right to say, over and over, "FTUSA". However, that just proves my earlier theory that you are a slug.

Whether I served my country or not, has no bearing.  But for the record, I have a triple purple heart from Vietnam. I spent three combat tours, and retired honorably. Just like many members of this lottery group.  Being in the military is not a right, it is an honor.  As long as there as those who serve and keep the enemy on their soil, they won't be killing and raping on our soil.  It matters not whether you agree with the war, only that you accept the fact that an enemy is trying to destroy us.  You can hide behind your New York Times editiorials, but DO NOT repeatidly use the term "FTUSA" and say you are an American.  America deserves better then you.  Americans die every day to prove that!  Just so cowards, like you, can say they exercise their rights.

First off, no one who excercises and stands up for what they believe in is a coward.

and FTUSA...meant Forget the US Army...not the USA...

Oh, so your a Vietnam Vet?...that explains all the hate.

Look man, if you weren't such a coward why were you over there killing babies!!?....no wonder we threw trash at your ass!!

you say your a man of honor, then why don't you join up now, and go over to IRAQ and redeem yourself from the embarrassing butt whoopin you took over their in the jungles of Vietnam?

I'm a Coward?...We won dessert storm...we didn't come home with our tails between our legs and our ears lowered like the beaten dogs that you Vietnam Vets are. You humiliated an entire nation. and while the rest of the world has moved on, you Nammers keep sucking up the suds and whinning about your war stories.

What you really need is some serious counceling and high doses of prescription medication.

you want to know who really won the Vietnam War?..."the hippies" who stood up, stopped the war, promoted peace and love, and then went on to college, carears, and family, and now thier running the country!

What possible strategical, economical, or finacial gain derrived from Vietnam?

None...we shouldn't have been over there, and we shouldn't be over in Iraq...

and yes, had I have won the lottery, I would have said (FTUSA) Forget the United States Army. I'll be down in Bora Bora!!!...
