@CyborgPeds@NY_LBSS@Ejmiller25@grossap IMO it's pure greed and envy by people who didn't put their asses on the line. I've heard of some ratings that I couldn't help but question but that's no reason to attack the whole system. 20 years of war has societal and financial consequences.
@NY_LBSS@Ejmiller25@CyborgPeds I'm fairly knowledgeable about the process, and it is evidence driven. Is there abuse from third party "assistance"? Almost certainly, but your method of throwing the baby out with the bathwater would have dire political consequences for any who tried.
@NY_LBSS@Ejmiller25@grossap@CyborgPeds Don't know the veracity of this, nor any details, but a 100% rating wouldn't necessarily preclude one from a cadre role, nor other less physically demanding jobs.
@johnkonrad@infantrydort Yeah, there was zero chance of me doing that after hearing stories of France in '18 from my great grandfather. It was the Navy for me.
@ReactorAxeMan@RealTmDaddy One was a shipyard welder and the other was stateside most of the war because of an eye injury he got playing intramural Army football.
Today, our current generation is focused on pronouns and pink hair. We’ve let this American spirit fade…
But, it’s not gone…it’s coming back!
Raise a glass to our men who liberated Europe.🍺
We lost 2500 heroes that day. 🇺🇸❤️
Sadly, many in the US have forgotten.
God Bless America!🇺🇸
