We'll soon be called employees







Happy New Year. 2009. The George W. Bush, "We Be Thugging It Tour " is coming to a close and will be under new management. Barack Hussein Obama is about to take the show on the road...What's the deal Chief?

Not sure where I am going with this post or what I am trying to say...random musing...I was in a finance/benefit meeting where we(soldiers) will soon be referred to by the Army as employees. Thought that was kinda funny but it dawned on me and a fellow soldier, that we are employees who work for one of the most biggest and possibly feared/hated companies in the world. The regular Army is like corporate America; hostile takeovers whether provoked or deserved, employee health, dental and pension plans, a dress code and a variety of characters that make one's day better or worse...The Army is an "ubercorporation." So then, what's the difference between a businessman and a soldier besides a paycheck?
