Well, we cannot attack the Bush twins nor any others their age or families
because we still have an all volunteer force. No one is forced into uniform nowadays and I believe that is just plain wrong. EVERY AMERICAN should spend some time in uniform and somewhere overseas to finally appreciate what we have here. The boys go fight and get blown up and shot at while the girls stay in support functions where they may be a little safer. Iraq is special now because no place is any safer than any other so many of our girls get hurt and killed anyway. Charlie Rangel is just about sensible enough to be a true Conservative if his views on anything else are as sound. I SO MUCH HATE having to agree with a Democrat!!! But, what is right is just - RIGHT! ....and the left is wrong! "tomcervo" wrote in message oups.com... POIUYT wrote: BUT SERIOUSLY - I have ALWAYS advocated mandatory military service! We learn things while in uniform, especially in war time that cannot be learned anywhere else and everyone who has gone thru has come out a much better person for it. AND - before you loud liberals start talking crap - I served for a little over 20 years in uniform and was in MANY messes from Vietnam thru Desert Storm. From his bio: "Congressman Rangel served in the U.S. Army from 1948-52, during which time he fought in Korea and was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. " So he's coming from a similar place as you. He does this every so often, when millionaires in the Congress and the Chattering Classes start talking about enforcing America's strength in the world--whose sinews don't include any of their children or their friends' children. I mean, who's seen Jenna and Not-Jenna lately? I know the press office says they're in Africa, changing diapers on AIDS babies, at least the ones who make it to the resort beaches. |
