However, I have a student loan and a car loan now, and I'm refurbishing my apartment, so we're talking years. If I get my PPL-A first, maybe I'll rent a plane instead of a car. :)


I surely wouldn't recommend renting a car to see the US.  It's far to big and would cost you a small fortune.  I'd buy a cheap used car when you get here.  It will cost you FAR less.  I have several friends that have visited here and done that.

This has gone far enough as far as I am concerned for some folks on the bbs.

animal, there are rules of war and they are to be followed. Those who do not follow them can be expected to be prosecuted and that goes for ALL sides of the combat. The US Armed Forces are all trained as to what is acceptable in combat. Shooting the wounded is not acceptable. We have in fact prosecuted our own for violations of those rules. Since you have not served please do not expound on what it is like in the military or combat. You have no basis for your statements.

dork faded, there is NO justification for your premise about making sure all the wounded are dead. You are obviously talking trash (no surprise there) and have no clue about American Military operations including treatment of wounded to include the enemy.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."
