Does the democrat passage of the supplemental bill impact soldiers morale?

“This was political posturing. Of course, if they think it didn’t just make most deployed military people anxious, well, they truly don’t understand the troops. The troops are always pawns - but now they’ve truly been advanced deep into the other side of the board, while wondering what the support is behind them. Some are going to get cautious, even as the vote emboldens and gives aid and comfort to the enemy. This is an Army of long service professionals, but, it can’t help but impact on morale.”

I thought giving aid to the enemy was treason. Are the democrats above the law?
goldenrae - at least read the blogs before repeating the party line, this is the truth from those who are there, it is not media propaganda, it is not political propaganda, IT IS THE TRUTH.

you could at least have a little intellectual honesty.
I have to tell you, I have never seen more brainwashed socialists in my life, your answers are pathetic, either come up with an argument that can be supported with facts or shut up, you guys are WRONG, fund the troops, no strings attached, or do not. Quit playing political games with our soldiers lives. Your role in this is to fund or not, the President is the Commander in Chief, the congress writes the checks, or not. God I just want to scream at this insanity.

Help with my husband with his job?

Veritas asked:


I’ll try to sum this up quickly. Ever since college my husband has been unsure about his career. He got a history major b/c he didn’t know what to do and thought “I can always teach.” Soon after college he married and joined the Army - again avoiding choosing a life career for the next 4 years. After the Army he got a job at a factory b/c the pay and benefits were good. Once again, avoiding the career issue.

Now he’s frustrated with the factory job (he can’t really advance like a professional would). He wants to find his career. He hates math and science so med school and engineering and electrical and other such jobs are out. He has no interest in law school. So we’re back to teaching. But we can’t support a family of 5 on it and pay off debts.

Any other career ideas? And guys….can you tell me if is this a common problem with men??
We are both committed to me staying at home with the children so 2 incomes is not an option.

I’m so frustrated - I want to help my husband make a good choice but we have been talking about this for 10 YEARS!
Good suggestion about part-time job - but what part-time job can you make a lot of money at?
We’re in Kansas. Yep he’s 30 years old. LOL

Does law enforcement pay well? Will he take a huge pay cut at first? He makes 45k now.
