I don't think so. Most young men think about joining up, if only to wear the uniforms. We are all programmed in this country to think the military is a noble and inspiring option- and I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just saying the marketing is thick on the ground- witness, at your local movie theater, the intense propaganda of Citizen Soldier. So yes, I find it quite believable Young Obama thought about joining. Didn't you ever think about it? I know I thought about it- twice. Once when I was in high school, and again when I was graduating from law school- I even interviewed with JAG. My whole family has been in the military- my WHOLE family of intensely liberal people- so yeah, I believe Obama. Not sure why you can't believe that. You don't want to believe liberals consider the military? It occurred to me that you might not even believe me! So here: Message 15262072 I've said it before. So I'm not just saying it to you to prove a point.
