@Roselleg They are paid so little as they have no skill to do another job.

Then you must be a woman or have never talked with any male soldiers. Women should not be in combat units period.

@shitnugget69 your observations are fantasies as you did not see me, so you don't know anything about me, where I am living, how is my house, if I meet US soldiers. I don't care unemployment rate, as this is a problem for US people.

I am not looking for job.

[salerno111]

US soldiers are paid somewhat more than another equivalent job, as they have no skill initially ang get education free. Additionally, they have a lot of benefits concerning medicare, mortgage and others. I came in US when I was 10 y/0 and travelled in and out of the country. US is the country where I have most interests and pay tax. I am totally disconnected by my original europran country.

@salerno111 Mercenaries? Are you kidding? Have you seen how little US soldiers are paid? Mercenaires? Pardon me while I laugh my ever loving ass off.

@salerno111 You were born here and yet quite honestly you speak (type) like someone who was not raised in the US, your syntax actually reminds me of either German or French dialect. an instead of a, countries instead of counties, I avoid when possible to meet...yeap you really ain't from here. If you dislike us so much, please feel free to relocate.

@marthawhitesvideos1 And Martha, I have yet to find a male soldier who ever bitched about a female soldier saving their ass. Soldiers are soldiers..regardless of gender. As my senior drill said upon MP graduation in 85 said..."You are not men, not women, not black, not white, you are not Irish, you are not Native American, you are not northern or southron, you are soldiers, the only thing that matters is that you are soldiers. Now, don't fuck that up."

@salerno111 There is no way to measure how much I would love to meet you. What shithole country do you live in right now. These arent fantasies of mine they are observations of the "great country" of Iraq. They may not be made of mud but they sure as hell look like it. Dont take the anger of having your house filled with holes from an M2 on people that had nothing to do with it. Still...have fun with your unemployment rate.

@shitnugget69 Your stupid fantasies are typical of the ignorant americans. I am an US tax payer, I was born and live in the western countries and travel in and out of US, but I am ashamed to be part of this ignorant society. Generally I avoid when possible to meet soldiers, as they are disgusting, and I don't know what is a flaffel.

@Roselleg I agree with you 100% ! The MP corps produces for the most part outstanding soldiers and leaders. She proved herself worthy of the Silver Start fighting off that complex attack. Im proud to have served with her and will do it again gladly! Alot of people disagree with her receiving the award "because shes female" it doesnt matter what you are if you distinguaish yourself with valor like she did then its your award!
