Dick Cheney is of course the king of Jackasses. However, I don't blame him. I blame the American people for tolerating this idiot for eight years.
I believe most of the poor fools in the volunteer army believed they could accomplish a quick stint in Iraq or some other God forsaken place with a one deployment deal, and get a discharge. Upon arrival home, they could benefit from all the non existent goodies vetrans are supposed to get.
They had no idea that the tours in enemy countries would be endless, and the military could stop them from exiting when their enlistment expired.
The scenario is even more bleak for the National Guard. Those poor souls thought they were citizen soliders. In their wildest dreams, they never envisioned the situation they now find themselves.
God Bless America!
