If a veteran was building a new social media network, would you help him?

Hello Crew,

Just an 11BV here, working on creating a comprehensive social network for the military community and its supporters. We've learned a lot from a previous online venture, personal experience from working at Apple, and attending grad school at UT Austin. Now we'd like to build something that adds value to those who've served but need your support. If you're interested in learning more, please register for early access at Patrlbase.com, thank you!

SGT Macias,

If the veteran were building a network that meets a need, something not being done anywhere else, then I would definitely help. However, I think this is unlikely. There are already many military-oriented social networks out there, and we only have so much free time to divide among various online sites. At some point each day, we ought to log off of our lap tops and log in to real life!

If a small donation is needed, I'll be glad to assist.

I don't know if I can rally behind a former Infantryman who can't spell "patrol". ;o)
