Why legs are "legs"

This is a prime example of why "legs" are looked down upon by Airborne and SOCOM units.

They make me sick. Every whining puss should be taken out and shot! These loosers are complaining about going home later than "they" planned and there are guys who will only get to go home in a proverbial pine box. What makes it worse is that they are ACITVE DUTY, what else do they have to do besides their JOBS!

I have heard many discussions about the "draft" coming back. Although I think every able bodied 18 y/o male should have to serve, even if it's only in a "homeland security" position for at least two years, the down fall about having conscripts in your military is you get a lot more of the BS that the 3rd ID is pulling.

I thank God that I was a Ranger, and the heritage that I can call mine has nothing to do with these leg pogue's.

Just my $.02

After I injured my back, the surgeons said I could not jump again, nor could I be an infantryman. They said that if I remained in the Army, I would have to do my time at a desk. I cussed and moaned so much that one of the doctors finally agreed to let me be in a Leg unit.

I made a phone call to the Infantry Unit at Ft. Lewis (seems like it was 9th ID) and talked to a Plt. Sgt. about my situation. He seemed overly excited to get me and assured me that I would be an instant Sqd. Ldr. I made arrangements to come meet him in person and get the 'tour.'

When I arrived at their garrison, I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. Rap music was blasting through the halls, rooms looked like college dorm rooms, I swear to this day that I smelled weed, guys off-duty were sporting earrings, and the few people who I talked to thought the Army sucked.

I have no doubt that there are some good guys in these leg units. BUT, the majority of what I observed on my 'tour' were complete losers. That was all it took to convince me to take the Medical Discharge and get out. If I couldn't serve with true soldiers, I didn't want to serve.

Again, I am not trying to stereotype all legs. There is a DEFINATE difference, however, between a Ranger unit and a Leg unit....it's like night and day.

You know as I recall there was plenty of bitchin in Battalion between rangers about situations and higher authority. But that was as far as it went. If a Batt Boy ever said anything like that in a public forum or outside of the unit he would have had his nuts on the chopping block and would have been dx'ed at the least.

I understand it is the way of the soldier to bitch. If you ain't bitchin you ain't happy, but never to anyone beside your buddies. I think the boys that said that to the reporter should get their bags smoked.

WOW...you should really use spell check, since you can't spell "ACTIVE" correctly...

I would reprimand you further, but it would be a waste of my time.

Check out his location.

Well, there, Mr. "Leg in Leavenworth", since you claim to be a "tough guy" doing time, inquiring minds want to know .... Are you the butch or the bitch?

RANGER Bell has just challenged you. Post your fucking credentials.

I don't think a BTDT worth his salt would address another BTDT in the manner in which you have. Therefore, I would have to put my money on you being the bitch .... not the butch.

Put your cell mate's cock back in your mouth. Nobody is listening here.

Fuck stick.
