I don’t know if I still care, but I sure do still get angry. I know this because after reading this article, the blood rushed to my face and I got all sorts of pissed off for no apparent reason. Seriously, they ship us off to war and separate us from our families and loved ones for years at a time, and the Army has the nerve to tell them they can't drink BEFORE they leave? and not just a couple days before leaving, but 3-4 MONTHS before leaving? Are you kidding me? What a joke . . . .
10 days and counting until I am off their books forever!

I still care?

They tried to tell us that when we mobilized at Ft. Benning in August...
...I think there was one night I wasn't drunk.
Ithink I might have drank about five times the entire 3 years I was enlisted... Everyone in the Army isn't into drinking so this might not be that big of a deal...
Thanks for the perspectyive Dre. However, its not the actual ban on drinking that pisses me off. It's the disregard they have for Soldiers. They're (we're) people, not a piece of property that can be used and abused.
Jason I agree... I see soldiers everyday walking through Hartsfield Jackson Intl Airport in Atlanta on their way back to the Afghan/Iraq theatre of ops... being former enlisted I know all to well what you are talking about, but when you are in the military there are rules that sometimes makes no sense, and in basic training our Drill Sergeants taught us to "play the game!" So I understand your angst but it will never change as long as the Army exists...just be glad we don't have to deal with that anymore. That's about the best we can do.
nice article like to read and found it very useful for me.
thanks

So far this is the first blog that captured my attention. The title is interesting, good choice of title. I don't get myself to be so drunk like others.
This is great as will, but it is nicer for you to visit my blogs lastminute angebote so that you can get some more ideas about vacation.
I can understand that they don't allow soldiers to drink but I totally agree with you that there is no way they can treat soldiers as a "piece of property that can be used and abused". Soldiers aren't robots, they have emotions and needs and I probably don't even need to go on PTSD here...
