If it's *so* horrible, then why did you do it?

When did I say it was horrible? I'm proud and honored to have served. Doesn't mean I feel the government should be able to grab anyone they want ant FORCE THEM to them serve.

Had quit a good time for the most part. Got to work on A-10s, very cool.

That doesn't change the fact that the US Government OWNED ME for a period of time. They could have made my life miserable for 8 years or more if they wanted to, and there ain't squat I could have done about it.


No I did not reenlist. When you enlist for 4 years you also are signing up for another 4 years of "Inactive Reserve" In other words they can keep you or call you back at any time in those for years. And in time of war they can keep you as long as they want regardless of what you signed up for.

You still don't get it.

The issue is not service. The issue is CHOICE...the issue is FREEDOM.
