According to the Liberal/Conservatives or Conservative/ Libearls
some years back, "WE NEED TO CUT THE MILITARY BACK!".
This has been done ever since the Founding of This Country!
Every War from The American Revolution to today virtually had to conscript members to fight.
Remember the Main! Pearl Harbor. being the two last largest.
Now because of the idioticy of our duley elected Morons, we are and have been once again thrust into this same position, time and time again! Lets build the National Guard and Researves up, Citizen Soldiers.
Lets have wars in so many differnet parts of the world that people expect us to get into the middle of!
No, we have Familys, Businesses, Schools, who have lost productive people that mean so much to our economy!
These are the people dieing and leaving the same afore mentioned items.
Tempt people to Join The Military not force them to. They want me during Viet Nam and I could not go! Thank god, what a damn mess that was and how many people (Ours) were killed and left so many familys without Parents, or how many it screwed up!
While not in the Military, I was a Police Officer and went on the Streets during the Riotous years of the Late 60s and early 70s. Yes, that was a war, it was people shooting and killing each other!
There many young people if tempted to join, they will, as there is no central Home authority or School Authority that can give them the Dierction for life and they are lost!
Just how many of you have ever worn A Uniform or carried A Weapon? I venture to say damn few!
