While watching a documentary on Vietnam it was stated that while 555000 troops were in country in 1967 only 20% actually saw combat. I was wondering if this was the norm of those serving?

The point was if the OP has issues with leadership and finds out the military is not for them, it may be easier to leave ROTC and continue their education at a regular college as opposed to an Academy.

snbypo, Be careful with hate it tends to be an emotion that can cause problems. You will get great grades at most colleges with those opinions of the current President. It's too bad you don't think bringing prisoners home from North Korea or bringing home the remains of fallen soldiers is a...

I believe their is a witch hunt and CNN helped get it started along with the MSM. Its sad to me that one side gets to continue to break laws and rules and the MSM does not care. It shows how powerful the politically entrenched machine is and why we need term limits.

When I was a kid we had 3 channels ABC, CBS, and NBC the editors decide what kind of a twist the news would get, usually to the left. Bernie Goldberg wrote a book on it "Bias". When cable came about CNN and Headline news were it. Again the majority of networks leaning left and getting their...
