  11. Army Nurse Corps Uniform?

    Google "Army Service Uniform"...the blues can be worn with a bow tie for formal occasions. There are also Mess Uniforms which are really fancy, but unless you are in an active unit, holding lots of dining outs...and you have a bunch of rank, you'll n...
  12. I've wanted Congress to receive standard civil service salary and benefits for years. They'd sooner turn their families over to somali pirates than lose a dime of their platinum parachute. And we reward them every year at the polls for their behavior...

  14. Speaking of "entitlement".... I blew my top last week when GOP Senator Jeff Sessions referred to Veteran's Healthcare as an Entitlement...as in they couldn't afford it. If you can afford to ask 900,000 (the tally as of 2012, when the VA stopped relea...
  15. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the bonuses people like me are upset about, went to civilians: middle and upper management, the very people who actively deceived the government, and the nation, about how well care was being dispensed. Those individuals ...
