"It seems that our President has made it LAW that ALL Vietnam Vets, even up to age 65,
are now eligible to be drafted back into the military to be sent to the Middle East."

I wish this was true.
I tried getting back in the Navy since 9/11 but told I was I too old.
The Oregon National Guard told me the same thing.
So I joined the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Send me instead of someone else.
There are people over there that are my age, 55.
I'd gladly trade places with anyone there.

You make me feel there are still REAL honest-to-goodness men out there, ready and willing to protect my female arse. I thank you more than you know, just for being who you are. It makes me miss my late, all man dad, who would die not only to protect his family, but his fellow neighbors as well.

Not only agree with your comments but I've learned that 1.75X reading glasses ($7.95 on sale at the supermarket) clear up the front sight just fine.
