Nightly Thoughts of Kevin O'Meara

Ok.. I have to spend some time today discussing my thoughts and ideas after reading a lot of interesting military posts. I decided to enter the fray and post at the most disgusting website I have ever gone to: Military.com. This is supposed to be a website which advocates on behalf of the military and the military soldiers. At the best it gives them a place to hang out, at the worst, it is a circus bazaar.

The first thing you realize is it really is an advertising mecca for every bottom fisher in just about any industry. Ads all over the place for insurance, bank rip offs and just about anything that is made or service provided by anyone who is willing to pony up some money. The site obviously does not check on the advertisers and you are just floored by the people picking money out of the hands of the military soldiers who, my guess, are very trusting figuring this site "clears" participants.

But, that is not the worst of it. If you get a chance, go to the "Discussion Boards". I put discussion in parens because it mostly is a one way dialog of a bunch of neo nazis trying to beat up anyone who even remotely thinks they may have one day been near a Muslim. The outward racism towards Muslims is very evident.

Try to actual discuss anything (usually that means someone is on one side and someone on the other) and you will get attacked by every E-1 with 3 years in service you ever wanted to meet. Which brings me to another issue. When you go to the profiles of these neo nazis, what you find is a bunch of power hungry junior enlisted who just love the fact that they "control things". If you say something they disagree with, they will "ban you" (Of course, that is stupid since you can just sign up with a different name).

Today, I am serving a 45 day suspension because I posted two things. I posted that the Vice President Started the war in Iraq (I said it just like that) and I said he was President of Haliburton which has made a ton of money from the war. Those two facts are all I stated and they said it showed "disrespect" to the VP who is not now in the chain of command but "could be at some time".

So, this site is just a bunch of punks who really are not worth the time except that it is fun to challenge them. When they cannot figure out a response to what you say, they claim you are "violating the TOS". That is just like their Mentor, George Bush.

These are the stormtroopers running Military.com and they are part of Monster Worldwide. If that is the type of Company Monster runs, I know one website I can just ignore moving forward!

So, those are my thoughts for tonight. Have a great night and let's hope this war ends soon!
