The word kid is only used in a gesture of affection and there is nothing to get so hot under the collar.


As for calling troops "kids," I don't like it that much, but it was an innocent remark


Question for both of you: Are you in the US Military? Are you a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine? Unless the answer is yes, don't even pretend to think you understand how that feels. Even I don't fully understand how that feels, and I've been married to one of those "kids" for longer than he's been in the military.

First off, let me say my mom just retired after 20 years in the Navy as Petty Officer First Class and my dad was in just for a few years after Vietnam. I am 21 years old. The people fighting over in Iraq for the most part are KIDS! I consider my peers KIDS. Yes, that's right, old people that have absolutely no experience fighting in war are sending people MY AGE (AKA KIDS) over to die. Just remember, the people that are responsible checked the box for non-overseas service and got MANY deferments because of "other reasons." People that are 18-21 that kill do not have the right mindset or maturity to handle what they are doing. They think it's a game. That's right...killing people is a game. I have a couple of friends that have come back and they are NOT the same joyous people that I knew. A buddy of mine actually said he wants to go back because once you learn to kill, it's almost a habit that you don't want to stop.
So many young Marines, that I would call KIDS, come back mentally unstable and unable to conform to normal society. The number of returning Marines/sailors (on that base I lived in Glenview during the first Gulf War) that got divorced because of domestic violence is unreal. None of you know what you're talking about. Bunch of chickenhawks I say.
Neither of my parents were very political and haven't voted...until this year. Needless to say, all the members of my military family are NOT voting for Bush in 2004.

Hmm, no sir I don't agree and I WAS in the Military.

Don't have the right mindset or maturity, why don't you come back and talk about this after you go through Military training.

Until than you can be so deep in it but still not know, take it from me I didn't know half the shit I thought I knew as an Army Brat that I learned when I joined the Army.

And that qualifies YOU to make this comment how?

I consider my peers KIDS.


Well, you may consider yourself a kid and if so, then I invite you to turn in your voting card. Kids shouldn't vote. It is a right and responsibility granted to adults in this nation.

Neither of my parents were very political and haven't voted...until this year.


And, apparently, their social irresponsibilty transferred to you...

Just remember, the people that are responsible checked the box for non-overseas service and got MANY deferments because of "other reasons."


I'm taking your quotes out of order, but..... huh? What is that about? Are you saying that older servicemembers are staying safe while sending younger ones to war zones? I'd like you to cite some verifiable sources and then maybe I'll pass to you the email addresses of Soldiers over the age of 30 that are over there serving alongside the junior Soldiers (I say maybe because I'll have to get their permission first).

Man, every time I promise myself I won't feed the trolls...... another one, prettier than the last pops up... Troll me if you wish, but nobody talks shit like this about Soldiers around me.

Gee gosh, my last five years in the army practically pale to nothing compared to your vast span as a military brat. Or grim's, or chiprj's, or psuedosoldier's, or geezer's (notice a theme here?)experience in the military too. We must not know what we're talking about, right?

We're all kids too, right? 28, 28, thirties, 42, hell if I know the rest of the ages, and as for not going overseas deferments, there's a lot of guy's in my unit overseas right now that would love to know what the hell deferment you're talking about, I surely don't.

Better a chickenhawk that supports us, than a chickenshit that undermines us from behind and condescends to us by implying that we are too young and too stupid to know what we're doing.

Reply By: Bahu Virupaksha Posted: Sunday, October 10, 2004 Why get worked up over an innocent remark. Kerry is a war hero who faught in a war and did not hide behind the clout that a powerful congressman can provide a wayward son. The word kid is only used in a gesture of affection and there is nothing to get so hot under the collar.

A "war hero" you have got to be kidding me. His own Commander didn't want him to recieve the Silver Star, which shortly after he publicly threw away along with his other honors.
A "war hero" would NEVER, not ever, come home and disrespect his fellow service members still in country or those who had returened or God forbid, those who died by participating in Anti-war activites regardless of his personal beliefs and then try to use that as a major issue on his election platform. Indeed it was reported that he said he did not throw away his own, personal medals, just someone else or replicas of them. The point stands that he either literally or symbolicly threw away the honors bestowed upon him by a greatful nation, only to spit in the same nations face and those of the service members who validly recieved medals, and earned them repetedly for valor.

Im so frustrated at the comment I mentioned above I feel compelled to quicly expound on my statement. I would never, either privatly or especially publicaly, throw away the awards I recived wether it be actual medals, COAs, or even coins. I EARNED them and I would be doing a huge disservice to my friends who died in OIF. Not to mention all service members living or dead. And I think its crazy that someone who did that, so publicly would try to run for Commander-In-Chief. And to ad insult to injury to call service members "kids" gimme a break. I bet that when HE was at war he would hate such a patronizing comment. Because, gee wiz, "kids" are always willing to figt and die for thier country.....gimme a break. If your not in the service you might have a hard time understanding. Go through Basic Training, go to war, acomplish so much in so little time and sacrifice so much for others and for the nation and then have someone, espically a prospective president, call you a "kid" Boy oh boy that just endears me to Kerry and his ilk.

I wonder if anybody would be offended if George W. Bush were to refer to any prominent group of women in America as "girls" or to refer to like Rosa Parks or somebody as a "girl."

SPC: I somehow managed to miss this one when you wrote it. I agree with you completely . . . it's extremely condescending and degrading for someone, anyone, to call our soldiers "kids." I actually wrote something along these lines awhile back. I really have a problem with it. Excellent post.

Lol Messy Buu, I think that, mabye, only mabye, they would hehe.

I am guilty as hell of calling my own soldiers kids even thought I know most of them hate it. I have to constantly reign it in but it still slips out once in a while.


Ramblinwreck you are obviously a smacktard. Nuff said, have a trolling.


Off topic * Dysmas - not even trying to pull your chain here (for once) but I think your quotes really are not working for some reason.

Other than maybe the Girl Scouts, I'd be bothered. See the early replies. Someone brought up that Bush used the term kids when referring to Soldiers. That pisses me off, too!

I'm still older than he was when he "served." And I bet he wouldn't have liked being called a kid. (although I can think of a few other things to call what he did.)

Bush lied about going to war, then had no plan to win the peace, and lost our international credibility and you are complaining about John Kerry calling soldiers "kids"?
