The Left has been glorifying avoiding military duty as a resume enhancer for decades.

The Left has been glorifying avoiding military duty as a resume enhancer for decades.

I don't care that people did whatever they did to shorten their time in the service, Lord knows the military isn't for everyone and it's more honorable to stand up, try, and fail than everyone who was fully capable and never got off the couch.

If someone is in the military and they can't be motivated through legitimate means to honor their full contract, we should thank them for trying and send them home. Better to find out that they don't have what it takes in a dank airplane hanger than a foxhole.

With that said, and borrowing a Seinfeldesque non sequitur, what's the deal with these military rags celebrating it? A cowardly scheme trashing the reserves and showcasing a multimillionaire comedian maligned to avoid military service isn't a story for military.com, or at least it shouldn't be. Especially these days when servicemen are being persecuted for liking the "wrong kind" of humor.
