> Are you nuts, Jost, encouraging this stupidity on Matt's part. I am beginning to wonder if Matt isn't as nuts as his mother thinks. He has been told ad nauseum that the military won't take him. From what I have seen of his posts, he would never make it through basic training in any branch of the military. Plus, I sure would not want to serve with him in a combat zone. I would not be able to depend on him to "keep his head." I am saying this as an ex-Marine.

> GEES Matt, give it up about the military. This sounds like some suicide wish, and this is from the ex-Marine, now psychologist.

> Karen44im new here. matt gave me this site address to visit and to read some of his post. i know him from church and told him that i might join the service next year. man, i cannot believe what i am reading. this is not the matt that i know. after reading all of this, i think that he has a split personality and all of this is just a bunch of lies. this is bad that he has got everyone so wrapped up in here all worried about him. he does like alot of attention tho so i guess this is where he gets it. thanks anyway, i'll navigate around while i'm here.
