The text above doesn't add anything IMO. Thanks, so much. Nice looking kid. I wonder if he's still alive. Can you tell me how we "know" this is why so many join the military. Presumably, since all you conservatives are sitting on your assets, can we assume that you don't share his reasons. W and Dick never made it anywhere outside of the US during the Vietnam War in uniform [unless you count a toga as a uniform]. I do know of one kid that recently enlisted. She was up to her eyeballs in debt due to a scum boyfriend and she's after the enlistment bonus. After spending a month jogging daily with her enlistment officer [who she thought was "hot"] and listening to the daily pep talks, she thinks going to Iraq will be fun. jttmab
