    got anything to back this up?

    Heres a better question, why dont you explain how oil prices are set. That way we can judge if its worth listening to any more of your banter.

    Got anything to prove it wrong?

    Oil prices are set by commodity traders, who are in turn influenced by current events, such as the declining value of the dollar.

    LOL @ the banter comment btw. Come back when you have something real to try and insult me on.

    I'm not the one making the accusations, I have nothing to back up.


    You forgot one part of the equation. OPEC controls the supply, they could increase supply by something as small as .5mil barrells a day and the increased supply would drop the oil price somewhere in the area of $6.00 a barrell. That in turn would drop gas prices about $0.30 a gallon.

They have to pay for their helmets and uniforms that are destroyed in the hell of war. But they keep on fighting for these politicians’ right to keep their war profits."

    That just made me laugh. It also completely destroyed ANY respectability that site has.
    1. If you are wounded and are medically retired you keep any bonuses you have been paid. You do not receive any unpaid portions after you seperate.
    2. Any pay while hospitalized is still active duty. You are paid exactly as you do if you are at your home command, including any entitlements such as BAH.
    3. Actually any gear damaged or missing during a combat deployment is written off and replaced free of charge, its just a simple form thats filled out so your supply can replace it. The only exception to this MIGHT be cami's, but in most cases those are also replaced free of charge.
