Know what I think should happen Jester?
Think about this..........and this would work well by the way............
Know how many retired veterans there are in this country? Lots. Many of them still remember how to fight, how to train, and what to look for.
Ever hear of the 5 year curse? It seems that many veterans who have served 20 or more years, generally have a life expectancy of only 5 years when they retire for 75 percent of them.
Wanna know what killed 'em? No more purpose in life.
Know what would be better than ANYTHING that these fucking politicians in DC have created in Homeland Security?
A national neighborhood watch. Staffed with retired military.
Let them train the police and the populace, tell them what actions to look for, as well as what to do when you see things taking place (call the police).
I mean shit..........haven't you seen the news lately? Lots of young stupid criminals are getting their asses handed back to them by us old folks.
Yeah..........I hope this bitch is free soon..........I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people with baseball bats that would like to teach her the error of her ways in treasonous behavior that she's exhibited towards this country, by people who have defended her with their very lives.
ABS...im getting to think this 5 year curse thing is the same for everyone....a guy at work said he was reading about retired letter carriers....he said the same thing....5 year avg and your gone....another guy laughed and he said the UPS driver on his route was telling him the same story,about UPS drivers.....WTF....
Interestingly enough, I learned about the 5 year curse when I was just a boot Seaman (E-3). Did my first retirement paperwork for an MMC who was retiring.
A week later, his wife came in to ask about benefits. Seems that the MMC dropped dead of a heart attack. Kinda hard to do, because I sort of liked the man.
I started to research this, and found out that the main cause of it was because the retirees didn't have any purpose for living, as the thing that sustained them was now forcing them out, and they didn't have anything to live for any longer.
Around the 90's, scientists started to look for the reasons that people lived to 100. Know what the main thing was? Something or someone to wake up for that day.
In 2002, when I retired, the Navy saw fit to incorporate a program that re-integrated the military member back into society.
Sort of the same reason why I chose working at a MEPS in a remote location. It was a way to help re-acclimate myself back into a society that I hadn't been a part of for 20 years.
Now? I write, come up with inventions, and teach free telepathy lessons in Southlawn Park in Amarillo, from 5-6 pm, Monday through Friday, weather permitting and above 65 degrees.
Gotta have something to wake up for.
