Oh yeah, I definitely agree that these days the military basically has to whore itself out to people. They have all these corny ass elaborate commercials(paid for with our taxes btw). It used to be that when a cause came, people didn't need to be coaxed, they just joined. I think that also says something. Everyone is rah rah war, but I don't really hear people jumping to be a part of it. And as far as war on our soil, yeah, 140 years ago, that's a pretty long time don't you think? Meanwhile, you can still see the wreckage in places in Europe, and there are still people alive today that remember what happened in THEIR HOME. We're getting way to comfortable with sitting here and sending the troops off THERE, and I think that's a big reason for our easy readiness for war. And yeah, I can support the troops without supporting Bush, who when it was HIS turn for duty was nowhere to be found. Nice, good job Bush, and now you want to send everyone off to Iraq while you stay here again, and look, you even have an excuse this time!
