So, they are rewarding people for being mercenaries and criminals....yippee! Let's just further the propaganda. Gawd that makes me sick.

[eflores]

[MischiefMan]

So, uh....what branch of the service were you in anyway?

When did you serve MischeifMan???

[MischiefMan]

I'm not sure what my service record, or lack thereof, has to do with anything, but since you took the time to ask, I'll take the time to answer....

In short:

They won't let me. :)

Even when I entertained the idea, it was to serve voluntarily. Yano, pay for my own weapon, uniform, transport, etc. Oh, yeah, and not leach off the rest of the country for benefits. No pay, no college tuition, no insurance. Yano, doin' it for patriotism, not for money.

Sadly, we have this nifty federal law that precludes, and makes it a federal felony, people convicted of certain misdemeanors. This will forever preclude me from serving as a peace officer, game warden, in the military, etc. etc. etc.

Now, why did you want to know?
