I am a military veteran. When I enlisted, I swore an oath to obey orders from all who were appointed over me. If the commander in chief orders the confiscation of civilian firearms, as an order, it must be carried out in accordance with the oath of loyalty we swore.
Bullshit. You were kicked out after 180 days for fraudulent enlistment and walked away with an other than honorable discharge. That will follow you t'ill the end of your days.
Blindly obeying illegal orders is a crime. Had you paid attention while they were teaching you this in basic training, you wouldn't post such drivel. But go ahead and run with that. It worked so well for Generals Jodl and Keitel.
You know Willie, I agree with your second paragraph, but I don't really like what you wrote in the first.
He said before in his post that while yeah, he was discharged after 6 months, he had a General Under Honorable Conditions, which basically means he did okay for the short time he was there, but they don't have any real way of evaluating him, which is why he got a GUHC.
And no...............a GUHC doesn't have much impact on getting a job later. It's the ones below that where people have problems.
And..............while you may have little regard for their opinions, please don't disparage another person's service, no matter the duration of it, as long as there is "honorable" attached to their discharge. It could have been medical, it could have been previously undisclosed medical conditions (his was), or it could have been just about anything. GUHC is a VERY broad discharge type, meaning it covers a lot of different situations.
I know. I was a US Navy Personnelman for 20 years. And while I may take pot shots at someones views or politics, I never disparage another person's service.
Not even SCPO Pollock, who I find to be a perfectly reprehensible human being, but he served, so I leave his service alone.
His opinions and views on the other hand? Open season on them.
I wish people could talk intelligently about ideas rather than tearing down other posters.
You read too much into my post. Tap the brakes just a bit.
ROFL. Thanks for the laugh, and agreed, WilliePete!
