FutureGM Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 This guy was on the Today show either today or yesterday. He wanted to go over to Iraq despite all four branches of the military rejecting his request to become an active duty officer, due to all the children he has. However, he signed up for the Army Reserve, and is now being deployed to Iraq since we're stretched so thin. Personally, I think this guy's crazy, since if he dies, he leaves his wife to take care of 11 kids, mostly young ones. Even the military didn't want him to serve.

Shamrock Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Maybe he's trying to get away from the home life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fritz Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Maybe he's trying to get away from the home life? 682171[/snapback] Yeah. 11 kids and a wife? *shudders* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinFan10 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 My guess is he wanted to be active duty military for the free housing and other free stuff that comes with living on base. Anyways, it must really suck to be the wife who has to take care of 11 kids alone. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishPhan Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I'm surprised he can still walk, or has anything left in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsChik305 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 hes being quite selfish toward his family, though he is acting like a hero in the eyes of Americans i guess. i hope it works out cuz if he dies, hes just a statistic and his family is stuck.
