Heard 184th had ton of disciplinary issues at command level. You opted out of a 2004 Iraq deployment with your infantry company because you didn’t like a lieutenant? Damn. Did you go later? |

Well, they need to save money to rename bases and roads so people who are long dead don't get their feelings hurt...oh yeah and most important to save money so they can pay for gender change surgery and classes to teach everyone how to be woke. Clearly those things will help during a war...right?
