Your ex said that? LOLOL Hey, I like her. As to the rest of your post, I don't know what you're trying to say, but as far as serving in Nam, the so called left gave more than its fair share. The right fled to Canada or got medical dispensations or college deferments....yadayada.

Remember, Only a professional army can bring you a coup-d'e'tat. This has bothered me since we stopped the draft. SOmeone I know said yesterday: "I don't care if there is a war or not. I don't know anyone in the army. As long as it doesn't effect me." It really brought me up short. I think it is dangerous for Americans to say "Oh, the military wants to go to war. As long as it isn't me." I don't like the way the military benefits are being managed and cut. We have lost focus and created another Us-vs-them dynamic. Rascal@ supportourmilitary.com
