>>How can I say this? Well, I came from a time when there was a draft (for males only).

Was that conscripted force better than the professional military we have today... or not so much?

That still is not the point. The factual on record statements of both men are. Nov will be the decision maker whether we like either man or not. We can only hope which ever the case they sweep in conservative Reps and Senators with them and get rid of some dinosaur RINOS. Which is why I tell people NEVER give to the National orgs, give direct to your candidate of choice. Our presidents are not elected by popular vote, which is a good thing or all we’d ever get is dems. To much fraud, dead voting and felons not to mention tampering with the voting machines.

I can’t nor won’t tell a person how to vote, you have to vote your convictions.

I’d of perfected a man of Lt Col Allen West stamp if it came to an actual decision. Man has more moxy than either of the other 2 in his little finger. But I know he is not going to run, might take a DOD cabinet post. Which would be good for the Military.

Oh, yes, the Bible clearly says, “Women can’t register for the draft”.

Of course not. I don’t think it comes even close to broaching the topic.
