3. "let down" is not the best phrasing...maybe "stomped on" would fit better

4. four years in reagan's marine corps
pissed of, tired, hungry, shit on, forgotten, abused, neglected, overworked, fuckedover, burntout,
underpaid, overextended, underfunded, lied to, cheated, ripped off, and that was a good day.

Then some dumb somebitch says reup for all the benifits!

no thanx, i'll just go home to no job, no future, leave home to find work, live in a tent until i can pull myself up from my bootstraps, earn a living thru hard work, support the democratic representatives of my area and be concidered a traitor by rich frat boys who never did anything but hold down anyone below them with the slightest bit of intelligence.

where's my country?

5. Hell, I might just join the VFW.


Just so that I can tell them I quit in disgust. The VFW leadership must have sold out the membership to allow those crooked bastards to come and bullshit talk to them.
