#1 FROM: Michael J. Kozlowski, SSgt, USAF (Ret)
TO: Andy Rooney/CBS News
RE: Your Comments on the Quality of The US Military

Dear Mr. Rooney:

F*ck you, bub. I don't care any more how many times you and Cronkite hung your fannies out over the edge in WWII, because you have betrayed the men you watched die. As of this moment I am doing everything I can to make sure word of this gets out and that the men and women who protect your sorry ass know what you think of them.

Cordially,
Mike

#2 Did you ever wonder why an old coot just this side of dementia like myself still has a prominent spot on a national news show?
I really find that hard to believe.
Did you ever wonder why Edward R. Murrow never calls me anymore? Was it something I said?
If anyone knows why, please drop me a line.

#3 Rooney's a barking moonbat, and anti-Catholic to boot.

#4 I saw a recent interview with Andy Rooney on the History Channell. He was angry at the time he wasdrafted, said he hated the military in general and the Army in particular. Blamed the Army for his never completing college despite the GI bill, said he believed there was NEVER a reason for war, thought all his commanding officers were dumber than a bucket of hair, but still felt he was owed respect for his unwilling service in WWII. He would never voluntarily defend his country. A First Class Asshole.

#5 I think shitforbrains has it exactly backwards. Volunteers do things because they want to. The reasons behind this motivation are as varied as the individuals; Yes a draft may snare some folks that would also have been in the volunteer pool, but for those that had no inkling, like our esteemed author(spit) there is only varying degrees of compliance. Oftentimes those that came under duress become the 10% that the chain of command spends 90% of their time dealing with.Many years ago, I used to think he was funny; now I realize that what I misttok for comedy was babble.
