Are you stupid? Do you really think command gives a
rats ass whether you live or die in the army. Hell, they
won't even take care of you properly when you have your
arms or legs blown off.

Gee. Dennis. I was classed 4F and couldn't enlist. In fact, I
received five separate 4F ratings. Then they discovered my electronics
background and drafted me. I tested out of a three year electronics
school, and was awarded "Television Equipment Repairman" which meant I
was qualified to service equipment for TV studios, control rooms, high
power transmitters and microwave equipment. My records stated that I
was unfit for combat, so that kind of blows away, "Are you stupid? Do
you really think command gives a rats ass whether you live or die in the
army.", doesn't it? My DD-214 list my secondary MOS as N/A, meaning
they couldn't send me to a comabt zone to fight.

This is the best anology you can come-up with? If
it was so great why didn't you stay in?? Liar.

Several reasons, actually. I'm not a union man, and my MOS of
Broadcast Engineer was being phased out, and replaced with civilians who
were paid over four times what I received.

Are you EVER right about anyone?

If you were unfit ? Which we all understand about you. Why did
you not receive a medical Discharge.? According to all Army MOS charts
they did not have alisting for n/a and I found none that were exempt
for combat duty. Even those that had a Top Secret Security Clearance.
So a TV repairman was exempt!! I am sure that all of the men
listed on the Wall are grateful for your service.
