The recruiter’s office is still open; I suggest the Marines.

All I can say is....WOW! That was good!

You said it very well. America is still the last best hope of mankind in a troubled world. And though America has changed for the worse in a lot of ways, in recent years, it’s still the last best hope for the world.

We have good people in the Marines. We need good people in Washington. Unfortunately, I’d never get elected, so grassroots it will remain for now.

I am old enough to be your grandfather. You are a very astute young lady. Do not join the marines or any service. Because after November you will surely be ordered to do the devil's work. Regardless of who is elected. Be strong. Never surrender your beliefs. But keep silent when it is advantageous in the presence of enemies. I truly wish you well for you are the future.

In four years, you should run for Congress. Then the Senate and then the Presidency, because you’re already a better American than the clown the Democrats picked.

“America’s men are dwindling and being replaced by a new class of male people who are too afraid to fight for anything.”

You are looking in the wrong place. Look at the troops serving everywhere and not on a college campus.

Extremely well said. You really encapsulated the same pain I feel when I see my fellow Americans ignoring our Anthem or our Flag.

I’m from your parents generation, and was brought up in a different world than the one you are confronted with now. All I can think is that it is young people of your ilk who are our destiny now.

Keep writing, keep talking, keep the faith. Our future needs you.

Good Post!! I agree whole heartedly. It’s nice to see someone of your age, so knowledgeable and proud of their country.

I'm a twenty-two-year-old Virginia guy in the E-School at UVA, and I wholeheartedly agree with you on every count.

What branch of the military did you serve in?

[bamagirl1944]

Bravo! You are, unfortunately, rare (for your age group) in your understanding of what is happening to our country. I am blessed that my children feel the same way you do, even though they aren’t quite as good as putting it into words.

God bless you in whatever you endeavor to do.

Folks, this thread has nothing (overtly) to do with the current presidential election or any of its candidates, but it’s a terrific post by one of my peers. Please restrict your comments. I don’t want a flame war erupting in this thread.

[stevio]

Damn, you go girl.

Not all of the men on Virginia's college campuses are crazy anti-American left-wingers.

[SampleMan]

Excellent post. Its not just the current generation though dear. What is called the Greatest Generation let this country down in many ways politically, and it has continued the slide since.

Do what you can, but don’t get depressed. At the very worst, you will be no worse off than our founders were when they started their struggle.

[LongElegantLegs]

The Marines. Hence the reccomendation.

a vicious girl from Holland attacked me with her beliefs about our great nation.

She may not know it, but she's in the process of losing her own country.

My brother(20) talks about the Army, I say to him go for it. I would too but I don’t think they’d take me now.
