[QUOTE="Biscuits_Gravy, post: 1531197, member: 17225"] Another National Guard drill weekend coming up. Not much additional pressure though there is apparently word that discharged members will have to repay bonuses and college benefits. In that case, we are talking tens of thousands of dollars per member. So currently the military is threatening their members with lifelong debt for wanting informed consent. Not sure how much teeth that has, seems like another bluff given the vast amount of litigation involved. Our accounting system can barely figure out how to pay their members. I’m sure they’d figure out how to steal more, but it’s hard to say. I’m currently in the religious exemption pipeline, which I guess gives me “immunity” until it ultimately gets denied. Several of my unjabbed peers don’t seem interested in applying for exemptions. Unfortunately, one of them said he’d get it if they force him to pay back his benefits. It’s all this game of threaten, coerce, carrot stick mind games. It’s sickening to me, but God will stand by us. I’m fortunate enough to have my contract expiring likely before I could be hit with the consequences, though I feel so very sorry for others who just got in or have only a little bit left to go. But still, WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT? WHY, WHY, WHY? I’m sorry guys, but 666 pages and I still can’t figure it out. I’m not trying be funny but we’ve mulled it so much and I don’t know the pure reason, the truth of the matter. It’s obviously evil but in what way, how deep does it go? I’ll leave my vent at that, but God bless all those out there trusting in Christ. We seem to be heading for the waterfall, the final card in the poker game, if you will. Many have folded, bluffs have been called, but what is to come of this, I couldn’t tell you. God love you. [/QUOTE]
