What's wrong with the Air Force?
Girls can wear their hair in a pony tail now. Of course this doesn’t affect them negatively.

Retirement / Separation Considerations
The crappy or good thing, depending on what phase of your career you were in when married and divorced, is there is a federal law that came out in 2015/16 timeframe that says the ex only gets awarded a percentage at the rank you were at when divorced. So if you were married the first five years then she might only get credit for 5 years / 12.5% at captain rate but if you made it to LtCol then her 12.5% actually goes down a lot.

Retirement / Separation Considerations
It can be set by the judge. She can’t get more than 50% ever. The judge can award more than the above example but they rarely do. Some states have formulas for it. It’s not automatic either. I know people that wrote it into the divorce that they weren’t entitled to any of it and it was agreed upon because there were other considerations. It just depends on what you agree on or if there is no agreement, what the judge / state thinks.

Going ANG/Res after passed over twice for Lt Col in AD
The process he is talking about seems to be ROPMA. There are other ways in the guard much shorter but not always available.

The meaning of life and other ill sh!t
The point was both people on life support and embryos in the womb require life support. One is accepted by all as a person even though they are supported in life not of their own body. The other isn’t universally accepted as a person. I’m not comparing an embryo to all human life. The embryo is capable of thought, sensory experience and the other multitude of other functions an attributes. But maybe just not for 9 months. The person on life support might have that very same experience or it might even take longer. That’s my point. Both potentially have the same attributes, abilities, functions, etc. and both are being sustained not of themselves.

True. Bad example. Argument still holds for someone on life support, in a coma, non responsive, etc.

The meaning of life and other ill sh!t
Both subjective stories. While I feel for them, and wish them well, I’m speaking of objectively. Just pure definitions of the words murder and kill. It has nothing to do with religion but if you want to go there, religion makes a distinction between murder and killing. And I don’t know which religion the man you spoke of belonged to. Christianity does not teach that.

The meaning of life and other ill sh!t
Not sure what you are talking about with a decision between two people. I was simply asking if a person required life support for oh say 9 months and had no brain waves, etc but recovered was that person no longer a person for some, all, or none of that 9 months.

The meaning of life and other ill sh!t
Murder and killing are different words for a reason. When you murder someone you are killing them but just because you kill someone doesn’t make it murder.

And what if in all the cases above the person has a chance or does recover but needs that aide to live?
-
The meaning of life and other ill sh!t
Which matches the definition of an embryo as well I believe. Thanks for your response.

The meaning of life and other ill sh!t
People who are on life support meet some or all of your definition. That’s why I ask.

I’m glad your parents subjective opinion was that life was valuable.
