What are young people entering the military for-love of country or a hand up in life?

So now it’s the Clintons. At any rate, I see no reason to engage with you further since you explicitly refuse to back up the claims you make. I encourage everyone else to do the same.

Point 1, he did not say those quoted words. They were written by a different poster in a different thread. They have nothing to do with the current discussion.

I’m guessing that you screwed up. You meant to quote from the first post in the current thread, but somehow cut & pasted the completely wrong thing. But this brings me to:

Point 2: he did not make a claim in the first post. He quoted what his colleagues had said, and asked if it is true or not. Obviously, he was expressing some doubt about the claim. Why are you asking him to support someone else’s claim, that he doesn’t quite believe?

I can’t tell whether this is sarcastic, ironic, or naïve.

Surely nothing in this thread has equipped you for that task.

Based on the OP’s position in this thread, along with an apparent patternof not wanting to add any substance to the thread, I’m going to shut this down. With the apologies to those who attempted to address this topic seriously, I’m not seeing any evidence that the OP is really interested in pursuing the discussion.
