As anyone who has read my postings to "BS" threads knows, I am an Army veteran (medical corps). I volunteered and entered my first active service at 18. During my next 8 years of required active reserve status, I was activated for another year under Presidential order of President John F. Kennedy. I didn't complain about this service either. What I'm finding very interesting now, is the number of other veterans I run into into my daily life, that are totally disgusted with the manner in which we went to "war" in Iraq. No one needs to lecture us about duty, obligation, committment. We've been there and done that. My very serious concern is that President bush (I refuse to capitalize his name) will drive such a wedge between our young people, meaning future soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen, and our countries' future needs, that we'll have to resort to the draft again.
