Oh, and while he was deployed, his boinked someone else and aborted the love child. So, now he&#8217;s looking over his shoulder for the MPs and wonders what he can do about it &#8211; you know what he can do about it besides turning his chickenshit ass in to the authorities and facing the consequences. And, oh, his wife chimes in, too;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My recruiter lied to me and painted the Army as something from heaven, but it was far from that. I was miserable and my wife was miserable too. My feeling could have affected her because I was in a bad mood every day.<\/p>\n<p>I was treated like crap in the Army. I was talked down to, cussed at &#8212; you name it. Maybe I could have tolerated that if I was 18. but I was 29. Not only was I taking orders from everyone who was higher rank but all of the young cats who were much younger than me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, boo-hoo, people younger than him who had more military experience than him told what to do in the military. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Army was ruining my life. After being in garrison for a year, of course we know our unit is getting deployment orders to Afghanistan. I said, &#8220;I\u2019m not going!&#8221; I just couldn\u2019t do it again. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, but his wife tells the part that he kind of leaves out;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After his first four years, I said &#8220;don\u2019t re-enlist,&#8221; but he got all googly-eyed about the re-enlistment bonus they paid him. The way I see it, he was happy until the money was gone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, the Army was ruining his life, but he took another burst of six years. Well, Vickie tells him what you&#8217;re thinking right now;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Sheldon, you are not honorable, you are a coward. Now, I have never signed my name on the dotted line to serve my country and I have never been deployed either. However, I\u2019ve never complained, whined, cried about mistreatment &#8212; but then accepted a bonus check before running away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, quit whining and man-up. Turn yourself in, dingus. Pay the price for your childish little tantrum and then get on with your life. Vickie says that he might get to finish out his term &#8211; Dear God, please don&#8217;t wish this know-it-all cry baby on some poor unsuspecting squad leader. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EdUSMCleg sends us a link to a Military.com advice column in which some whiny dingus had &hellip; <a title=\"Dear Vickie: I&#8217;m a whiny deserter, put me out of my misery\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=34420\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Dear Vickie: I&#8217;m a whiny deserter, put me out of my misery<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dumbass-bullshit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34420\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
