Your kidding right??I guuess if you lose your legs your pretty resolved. I say send the Bush twins as GW is so committed!!
PS Before you do the "you should serve" I did 20 and I know it has nothing to do with being responsible etc. Can't tell you how many wives of guys in my command had to have their husbands wages attached to feed the kids.
BTW you can't fight terrorists with conventional warfare. Ya think Washington might figure that out sometime??
Obviously you mis-read my post and are too caught up in politics to realize the benefits of the military. Ok, sure as with everything you must read the fine print. The occupation may cause fatique, upset stomach, dismemberment, and death. When I signed up I throughly understood those possibilities and so did all the fine americans who also answered that call over the generations. If you're looking for someone to blame or throw stones at, he lives in a big white building with four pillars in front.
However, I must commend him. Throughout all this, his resolve is still unwaivered. Although most of his collegues and constituents have decided change their opinion. He has standed firm, and I still see that today. I may not agree with all his decisions, but atleast he's not bending to all the loud-mouths.
Make no mistake, we are at war. We are fighting against a belief, this is by no means conventional. We are fighting for our way of life. These terrorists would love to turn our country in to the wasteland that has been their home for the last decade.
