If you think about it for more than a minute, I think you will see it IS the salient factor in military enlistment. Why would anyone follow a leader they had no confidence in...? Kerry has done nothing to give an impression he believes in the military. 30+ years of nothing....

However, IF we have another attack of large scale (i.e. if a city is wiped out) I think you will see more and more of us enlisting, either as a Military force, or a Civilian force or both.

Which demonstrates that patriotism is not the salient factor in military enlistment.

LOL

Kerry is the only US Naval Officer to abandon his command, his vessel, and his men, while in combat because he had one scratch and one piece of puffed rice blown up his ass.

Which male members of your family do you advise to follow him into the war on terror because it is patriotic?
