Did you enlist to play dress-up?

I just wanted to get through recruit training.

I'm sorry, again, that not enough Americans were killed ala Pearl Harbor or the WTC/Pentagon during the years you might have enlisted so that you felt conditions would be favorable for you to get combat experience.

Had you said that you would have enlisted had the country needed you, you'd be home free, but what you said makes you a laughing stock.

Sorry, but you are ascribing a position to me that I never expressed. There's a huge difference between wanting people to die, and deferring enlistment because the existing war was over. Had I been a few years younger I would have enlisted and gone to Vietnam.

If the US was at war (hint hint) wouldn't that imply that I would have enlisted when the country needed me?
