Do these veterans understand they are volunteering to guarantee the US becomes a second rate player on the international scene, vulnerable, weak and unable to influence our destiny, or security?
Do these veterans understand they are volunteering to give up any right they have to own firearms? Or hunt or fish on public land?
Do these veterans understand they are volunteering to pay higher taxes, to fund social programs for non-citizens and those not interested in working?
And the list goes on. Any man working in support of Kerry better be sure of what he *thinks* he's supporting.
Many do. One of the main problems with the draft is that you get some scumbags inducted along with the decent.
Those scumbags then get to use their veteran status like a cudgel for the rest of their life, regardless of their actual service or behavior. 30 years down the road, all anyone knows is that they are a veteran.
