AWOL soldier returns to level charges at commanding officers who he says hazed him and ridiculed him for being too injured in combat to continue fighting.

"Instead of prescribing one medication for PTSD, I was given a bag of medication and just told to take them all until I found one that works and just stick to that." -- Spec. Bryan Currie

5. What's a TS Card?
And why would you call an American Hero, an idiot? Do you hate soldiers? Or do you hate the truth when it's spoken?:popcorn:

7. It means "tough shit card". It's a really stupid thing to say but
maybe the person meant it sarcastically? Either way, it's not what I would expect from a DU'er.

10. Tough Shit Card is usually taken to the local chaplin in the Army.
And he/she is the person that young G.I.s bounce their troubles off us. TS cards were popular during the Korea war.

9. We know you're here to spy 007 so be a nice spy and stay undetected.
Your remark shows an incredible insensitivity, a lack of understanding of what is going on in Iraq today as opposed to other wars in other times, a lack of knowledge of basic medicine and good practice or all of the above.

And TS if you don't like being told to be quiet. this time you're out of line.

And if my "Bond" trivia is right you 007's only have the right to shot to kill, not to shot your ignorance off anytime anywhere.

15. and as to the rest of the comment ?
Edited on Sat Mar-08-08 09:26 AM by Sam Ervin jret
How about the idea of sending soldiers off to fight with medication that has NOT been under control and proven effective for the diagnosed malady?

What about the idea that you are insensitive to a soldier who has been through something you have not? And that stands even IF you have been in a combat situation because every combat situation is unique.

This occupation is not like any other in our history. The many times going back over to Iraq added to the long time period there and now the Stop-loss make this unlike any combat situation or occupation situation we have seen in our history.

it has been my experience that people who are ready to let everyone else get there shit toughen up need theirs educated.

3. Again. And again. And again. Thank you, Michael Moore.
Michael Moore is one American who would get the Presidential Medal of Freedom if I was in the Oval Office.

And right away. Heartbreaking stuff. But the media won't cover it. He does.
