Yes we have.

No we haven’t. We given a small amount of military aid/advice/support to other factions in the country. No direct military involvement.

Yuup, the same for illegal Hispanics. If they have to interact with a governmental entity, they bring kids cause no LE agency wants to deal with kids.

Over a one year period in my small community, three elderly people with terminal, but slow progressing cancer committed suicide by handgun. They should have had the opportunity to take a pill and die with dignity. Now the person who found them will never get the image of a loved one's brains scattered around a room. Instead of telling grandkids that grandpa died peacefully in his sleep, you have to try to explain why grandma will never enter the house again.

It's crazy we keep elderly people barely alive for years. A person should be able to choose to go out on his/her own terms while he/she still has the cognitive ability to do so.

Link these studies. Because i'm pretty sure what they actually say is that when it even sort of comes up as a primary driver, which is still only mentioned in less than a third of the respondents, they’re, at best, referenced broadly as "for the benefits" bundled with pay, training, and the GI Bill. Almost no one lists 'health insurance' as a standalone motivation. I was in basic. We had this conversation constantly. I never heard anyone say they joined for health insurance. Not once. What I did hear: guys buying an F150 with their enlistment bonuses, guys trying to get college paid for, and a lot of guys,like me, who felt like they didn't have much going on, and felt were just spinning their wheels in whatever shite town they came from. And think about the logic. The kind of person who is forward-thinking enough to prioritize health insurance for a primary life decision at 18 isn’t the same person who joins the army out of desperation.

100%, never heard a young person say he/she joined for insurance and I did 32 years. Once TRICARE became available for the guard, i did meet a couple of folks who enlisted at an older age (nearing 40) for health insurance.

I'm more interested in what make is more reliable between Ram, Ford and Chevy and what years are better or worse. I'm open to buy used.

I'm sure I'll go for a minimum 350, but gas or diesel will depend on what I can find at the best price. Preference will be a dually.

No doubt, the tow vehicle will be worth twice the value of the 5th wheel.

We’ve had a bumper pull and were a couple days away from buying a Class A, but once my wife saw the layout of the 5th wheel, she was hooked.

I am at a loss as to how some southern's can still believe that slavery wasn't the driver of the CW. I mean you can read in the Articles of Succession.

Our family is overwhelmingly British isles with a little German and French. My wife had been told that one of her great, great grandmothers was cherokee(I know, Cherokee princess). We get results, and I turn out to have 0-1% Ghana ancestry while wife turns out to be almost 100% English with no native american. She and her sister were crushed.

Everyone I grew up with had a tale about a full blooded Indian great grandmother, including my family. When my DNA results come back, 0 Native American :lol:
