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.

How bout this guys and gals.

People who complete a term of service in the military get another vote in all elections. This would serve the same purpose of getting more voters with a real word appreciation of their country.

Insted of forcing people to serve, you give the ones who do the ability to cancel out a vote from the clueless class.

Can we all support that?
