Unclewest:

For the past couple of months you seem to now be for a military draft. Two or more years ago you were against it because you believed that the volunteer was a better soldier, air man, sailor or marine. What changed your mind?

Regards from an old gravel agitator.

Peter

If and when they become the majority...

I believe that boat has already sailed.

I'm afraid too many of the parents, of today's 18-21 year olds, awareness of the military is derived from video games and a few Bill Murrary or Goldie Hawn military flicks.

There a time when offspring enlisted to make their parents proud. I know I did.
