MadMaxx asked in Politics & GovernmentMilitary · 1 decade ago

Awe, poor baby got my question pulled yesterday...?

So I'll ask it again and I'll be a bit more specific...

My 42 year old butt served, did yours, lol? How old were you when you went into Iraq?

I've read comments on here talking about being too old for combat.

Update:

Hey Jessup... you'll notice the lol after the first portion of the "question" and then... "How old were you when you went into Iraq?" is the question.

Was that a bit too confusing for you?

Update 2:

I hear ya old timer mcspic, lol... good luck over there brother and don't let those youngins give you any crap... YOU show them up!

Update 3:

Thanks Paddy me boy... I don't sweat little boys like roswell... I just hate hearing from people like Jessup the wonder wuss!

    Madmaxx. mate despite the looney left trying desperately to lable the war on terror an illegal war, people with intelligence can clearly see Iraq is a third front in the war and a succesful attempt at preventing mainland US from being attacked, people like the ones above hate the fact that Pres Bush has defended the nation and prevented any further attacks on US soil (90% Clintons fault for 9/11). I hav e not been to Iraq, served in a dozen other countries and am waiting to hear if I will get a tour of Afghanistan this year.

    All the best and ignore numpty's like roswellmuscle, that persons right to free speech which he choose to use to make him look uneducated is down to your service.

    I was 28 when i first went, as an enlisted soldier and 31 when i was a 1LT in the Army. I am now 34 and getting ready for my third time. I am an MP, on the enlisted and officer side and have seen my share of combat patrols and am still capable. I am now a captain and will still go on patrols with my soldiers.

    I am a bit :) older than you and would love to go serve in Iraq with my son. Still have the skills and knowledge, but probably couldn't get up the darn aircraft ramp. :(

    Thanks for serving.

    Glad to see ol' roswellmuscle is still using the muscles in her head. Only service she's done is at Mickey D's.

    Because you were stupid enough to get yourself sent to a foreign war,an illegal one too,does not make you better than everyone else.It does make you more gullible.I suppose now you think the taxpayers owe you something for the rest of your life.All you are really owed is an arrest warrant for war crimes.Maybe you will get to spend the rest of your life in a detention camp with your criminal boss George Bush.
