Many US nationals came north to enlist in '14-'17 and '39-'41 .... a great many, tens of thousands, they didn't wait for their rulers, they pitched right in .... 1940ish, one wing of the RCAF and more than one in the RAF had many yanks, when their nation finally joined the effort after sucking dry the british treasury they got transferred over to the eighth air force USAF where their experience became of great value ... technically US law said they lost their citizenship by enlisting in foreign armed forces, this was ignored ..... got to go, or i could type a lot on this

'Having been late for two world wars, the US is determined to be early for the next' ... saying of anonymous origin

It's 'us against them' alright, 'yer with us or agin us' .... Saddam Hussein is a pimple on the derriere of the species, no doubt about that, but history may well record the neocon unilateralists as the asshole

No point in having a ground swell of people joining the military. The military is big enough to get the job done and the main reason it isn't even bigger is for budget reasons not lack of available manpower.

As for the tire slashers in FLA they are just assholes but you can find those in every country.
