Until next semester starts, I am getting a head start at the website listed below. I also know a couple of Arabs. One of them, a nice old man from Somalia, teaches me, but I have to put up with his praises of the "holy" Koran and Islam, which I do with a polite smile and feigned interest. He has no idea I am a fanatic Roman Catholic. I had another Friend from Jordan. He claims to be a Christian, and was teaching me Arabic, but last time I saw him, he went off on this long dumba$$ rant about how Bush is the devil and the war is wrong and how the Jews are controlling everything. I will not be visiting that cretin again. In all the years I knew and loved him, I had no idea he could be such a nut. He was pretty deceptive in hiding his true nature. It seems to be a practiced artform in the Arab world gutter.

As in WWII, my friends, where EVERBODY was a part of the effort, we can all do something, no matter how small, together to save our nation and not turn it over to the seventh-century savages who will put our good American women in burkahs and offer us the tender choice of a prayer rug or a coffin.

At the least, we have to do something to counter the Islamonazi appeaser crowd, but my friends and I intend to do far more than that. Four of my brothers are already in the service and fighting the savages, while three more of them are studying in preparation to enter the service as officers, as am I.

I am still processing all that you have said...

But your point that we must all do what we can to stem the Islamic tide strikes a strong note.

And as to your joining the war as an officer...great.

I wish the military would raise the age limit to allow entry by those of us who are older but still in good physical and mental condition (well, in good physical condition, anyway).
