"One thing is certain...Those who are willing to take the fight to the enemy....Those who are willing to fight to protect and defend the United States of America do not have to accommodate the whiners."

Thank God we have a democracy and folks like you can't do what you really want which is to subjugate folks like me. Civilian control of the military Mike--love it or leave it. Really tired of your self righteous rants. A good soldier fights for folks back home to be free, not to threaten them with militarist rhetoric. If i whine volunteers will quit--sure and abandon their families, their homes and their beliefs. Doubt it.
Again, defending the mistakes of this administration does nothing to make us more secure. Praise them when they are right and criticise when wrong and then get them to adust and improve so we can WIN. This is not rocket science Mike--why do you make it so? The military serves and the state is free and democratic. Why do i think that ultimately you resent that. Mike

uw, do you have any sources for comparing both military recruitment and retention against pre-Sept 2001 figures?
