I can no longer be part of a military that answers to this disaster. I am putting my retirement papers in tomorrow. Sad decision after 21 years but I just can't even think about fighting for this socialist jerkoff we have serving in the White House now.
Hey Con......it's a tough world out there right now .... finding, getting and keeping a job is difficult in this economy. You are a Captain, Active Duty Guard, right? That pays good money and you shouldn't be worried about layoffs either (unless your not qualifying for promotions any more) like in the private sector.
Before you just up and turn in your papers, think about the pay and benefits you are getting and whether you want to put your family at risk if you can't find an equal pay job.
My husband is a CSM, Active Duty National Guard soldier .... joined in 1979 and we have this discussion frequently, about whether he should retire or stay (he's certainly done his duty). Even though he may disagree with the CIC's he doesn't let his personal issues get in the way of his duty. He feels more loyalty to his unit and country than he does the CIC anyway.
But hey, I think your fellow soldiers would rather you quit if your heart isn't in it than stay and get deployed and put their lives at risk cause you didn't want to be there.
Your decision....good luck.
