Life is not fair.
And Bradley Manning is still breathing?
Again, life is not fair. That is why Bradley and Bowe are not fertilizer.
Wherever he is right now, he’s surely extremely pissed off.
If he’s pissed off that bad, he has Gunny Ermey there to console him.
Fair winds and following seas, General Bannister.
That is sad. Rest in peace, General Bannister.
Devoted his entire adult life to service to his country and dies the week he is about to retire to greener pastures? I gotta tell ya, life can be so unfair, but it’s all we have.
Fair winds and following seas, General. Thank you for your service.
Well done, good and faithful servant…I can only guess that the Lord decided you reward you sooner rather than later.
He would have hated retirement anyway.
SAD! He outdid Chappie James who died 3 weeks after retiring.
Hand, Salute!
If the MG was still on terminal leave and on active service until the DOR was reached, as I understand it his wife would get $400K. Does his wife also receive his retirement pension benefits (hopefully he checked +SBP for her) even though he did not officially reach retirement ?
