I'm obviously not the coding/webpage queen here, so please feel free to donate your advice or services if you have relatively easy tips on design/script improvement. (Hey, I read Slashdot /. for the articles, not computer-smarts... )
Whether from civil-military estrangement, strategy vs policy disconnect, Medical Limbo Hell, deployment issues, tv nitwits putting words in our mouths or the decline of quality control in our profession, we're pretty blue here ~ Hoping that putting these issues in words more often helps. Your ideas are deeply welcomed!

Ugh--enough legal gobbledygook! It's just that our years in the military taught us much about the value of C.Y.A...
Hey Veterans, Soldiers, Sailors, Zoomies, Jarheads, &our GF,BFs, & Families
- MILITARY MEDICAL ISSUE? Start at our partner-blog, StillFightingTheWarAtHome
- Plain old Pissed Off? See partner-blog RAGIN' RANGER -- written by, who else, an Army Ranger and Iraq Vet with some great rants against... lots of things.
- NEED HELP w/anything Chain of Command- or regs-related? Send an email (preferably NOT official/AKO/etc) and we'll give our best info, resource referral, or memo template.
- WANT FREE 24/7 HELP from a trained pro? MilitaryOneSource -- 1-800-342-9647. DOD, but independent from your unit.
- AGREE with a point here? Let me know. What should we add?
- DISAGREE? Please do leave a comment. Maybe we'll find a point of common ground. Or maybe you'll teach me something. Unlike certain pundits, I admit being wrong... and America needs to see what you think also.
CIVILIAN/ Anyone Else?
- PLEASE ask any question about military training, ideology, family life (or lack thereof), deployment, etc. We can always take it to Wikipedia and throw down to find NPOV, heh.
- REMEMBER: We "troops" have NO/0/ZERO say in US policy. Our intended role is to serve, trusting the strategic/operational wisdom of the Civilian Leaders (POTUS, SECDEF, etc), keeping opinions to ourselves. It's supposed to prevent military coups and other nasty things.
- BUT -- that ideal is now gone. SO many politicians and pundits (usually w/NO military service) babble so much about what "the troops" think or want. So now we're politicized anyway. Citizens must hear US; not some blowhard. I will try to present alternative uniformed opinions on touchy issues.
