When I was attending the University of Communism, I mean Colorado between 92-85' I had to hear almost everday in my classes "how bad America was" not only from my professors, but my 18, 19, 20, and so on year old classmates as well.  Now I can understand this coming from the tired old hippies preaching their wasted logic that got them nowhere except in front of a classroom preaching tired anti-establishment draftcard burning rhetoric 30 years later. These kids had no concept of what it meant to be a citzen of the United States was, they like just about everyone else in this nation fells everyone and their uncle "ows" them for the right to for living here in this Great Nation and maybe we should have a repayment plan called the Draft or a National Service of some sort to get these kids off their asses and doing something instead of taking up room in our prisons. I don't know what the mimimum would be for an enlistment in one of these programs or military services, but something needs to be done I think. I'd say 3 years would probably be the best for either of them, and if someone doesn't hack it in the military branch "too bad" they're going to finish the rest of the time in the civil there will be no "easy outs" or chapters like I saw so many times when I served overseas down in Panama when guys burned piss tests too many times and finally got that plane ticket home. Of course with those guys who burned the piss tests they were all pretty much all shit bags anyways so it wasn't like the Army loosing anything and luckly we never had to rely on those guys if the Sheet hit the fan. cause if it did well you know your goose was cooked  relying on one of those worthless pukes.Well I rambled too much probably after drinking too much coffee again this morning.LOL "Lobotomy Means Never Having to You're Sorry," Tom Servo MST3K
I'm Surprised Panama's still sea level, after all the Push Ups I did down there.

| That was a great read and it sums up Rios just what our 18 to 35 year olds are missing today that special quality called courage and moral caracter. Toay's youth with their Play Staystations and fast food lifestyle just don't seem to have have that at all. Rios you think 9/11 would have woken up people on the scale that December, 7th 1941 did, but I guess the younger generation are content with being fat dumb and lazy; not I guess that's what sickens me about them all. Isn't it strange that it's mostly prior service and disabled vets like myself who are willing to reenter to military to continue to fight these days, because we realize what we're fighting for our very survival here just like our brothers did in WW2.

As a 17 year old kid. I'd like to apologize for the actions of my generation  I'm busy applying for ROTC right now, 2 guys I know are doing the same thing and another good friend is enlisting. Everybody else thinks we're crazy. The most common response to "I'm going into the Army" is: A) "Thats stupid. Your just wasting your life." B) "Your just gonna get blown up in Iraq or something." C) "You shouldnt go in because *insert long winded left wing talking point in attempt to sway us away from the the idea of military service*" D) All of the Above. If you picked D, Then your a winner!
"I Know in my heart that Man is good, That right will always eventually triumph, and that there is purpose to each and every life."

| F-them Colin. I'm proud of you. You got your head screwed on straight to the proper tension. It's the dope-smoking hippies of all generations that give this country a bad name. I joined as a 17 year old kid. Not because I couldn't get into college or couldn't find a job. But because I have come to realize, that I had a calling. With almost 23 years wearing our countries uniform(s), I don't regret it. Soldier on!!!!
LOAD CLEAR! LOAD CLEAR! Your Job is my Hobby!
