Soldier's Daughter Illegally Adopted-Can You Help? - Page 3

Moons, showing your blatant disrespect and apparent lack of understanding for the military shows just how selfish you are. While you may hate the military, there are those of us that fully support them. These individuals sign their life away to get sent whereever the government (yep, those you voted into office) deem they need to be. They serve for their country and they do as they are told.

A Soldier who gets sent somewhere for a reassignment should never risk losing their child due to spite of their spouse. Period.

Now, as far as why many serve, yes some serve because they needed a job. The vast majority of them serve because they love their country. Maybe if you spent time with Soldiers instead of thinking you are above them, it would help you understand.

Please go troll another thread because unlike you, I am trying to help someone.

PS- As far as your neighbor there are many VA non-profits out there to assist him I highly recommend he get in touch with them.

Just an FYI, most recruits join because they want to, not because of the advertisements. Almost all have said if they went off of commercials, they would have gone elsewhere ;)

I know from experience what lengths they will go to recruiting our kids.
Big promises that once your in get pushed aside and they begin to tell you what when and how to do everything their way.
The money up front, bonuses, schooling, the field of your choice, then the reality.

But still if anyone want's to give that's their choice.

The VA is a joke, a sham, and shame on America for it.
Your assessment of why kids join is a bit off but that's because of all the propaganda the government feeds them.
But you have your point of view.

I am above no one here, and cannot be selfish as nothing here serves me in any way.

Your just upset about my views of the military, and my response to your post.

Welcome to the Internet.

I would give money to help the victims of our illegal wars, the children come first though.

jaggirl, I am going to suggest a method that I know was used in another situation to help with the medical expenses of someone known to me. I don't know if your interest is just one of wanting to help this guy out or whether you know  the lawyers and others involved in helping this person.

We organized a drive where interested people agreed to donate things that they did not need. These items were listed on eBay and the proceeds went to the person's medical expenses. We raised over $70K. It does need someone who knows how to list things on eBay in a way that will attract attention. The items were shipped out to the buyer of the item.

This is a cause that a lot of people would be sympathetic to given the circumstances. I had read about it a couple of days ago. People have a lot of stuff that they really don't need and for a good cause they would be willing to donate it. If it is set up right one can even get a charitable deduction. 

Just a thought for you to consider.

Hmm, I like that you tell me I have no clue of why kids join considering I joined myself as a teenager. It sure wasn't for the "Be All That You Can Be" commercials or the huge upfront money and bonus of $0 I received. It's kind of funny that you would actually say that when you have made it blatantly obvious you have no clue. Not to mention a person can go in and ask for whatever job they want but it doesn't mean they will get it. That's why they have their tests.

Now, as far as the VA, I said check out the non-profits. Or is it that you are so blinded by ignorance that you fail to read properly as well?

Now, as far as the children coming first, that is what this entire case was about. I guess because it is a Soldier's child that doesn't count?

Keepthefaith,

Some of us were actually discussing this and we are attempting to work out the logistics of it.

Glad to hear that you are thinking of doing something on these lines.

See if this can be done under the auspices of a church or other religious institution. First, a church may well be quite supportive and the value of the items donated would qualify for a tax deduction. The main thing is that someone has to take the lead as far as listing it on ebay and handling all the logistics. People who are  willing to make a donation of items would not want to take on the hassle of having to list it and answer questions, etc.

Blah blah blah,
The bonus's have grown since your day apparently.

Yeah you can go to non government non profits for some help, that's a shame our government can't avoid.

Sure a soldiers child matters, there are many of them besides this one in your post is the problem.

There are many custody battles and needs everywhere, not just this one and not just military families.

Talk about no clue.

I'm sure the donations are pouring in, go check your in box.

Just don't wave the flag in my face.
