a universal service law could have been passed before the end of Sept 01. Of course it wasn't, and the opportunity to do so passed quickly. If it were proposed now, we'd be at war with ourselves.

A completely silly and ineffective idea that is the last thing we would have wanted to do - Our military does not need those that don't want to voluntarily put their as$ on the line. Nor is there the dire need for more soldiers (at a quicker pace) then what we are growing now as.

BTW, from what I'm hearing from a number of my sources, this general going off the reservation will not be the last.

Again, that is neither here nor there to me. Who gives a bleeping bleep what a few ex-Gen's say. There are plenty in the old dinosaur Big Green that needed to be put out to pasture (and have been or in the process of being put there). If their last spineless act is to criticize our current efforts. It reflects on them, not our warriors and not our leadership.

Lots of bluster. We can agree to disagree on issues such as universal service, but you cast aspersions on the character of a former Army Division CG and have failed to back them up.
