As a , now old, combat veteran, I am very impressed with today's military and would consider it an honor and a privilege to serve amongst them today, if i could keep up with them. It is no surprise to me than many young and not so young want to serve in this military. Give me new knees and lower back and I'd give it a go.

She'll make new friends who do support her and in much more important ways.

This is an interesting look at the future of our military. If you want to see a snapshot of the past check out a thread I just posted. "Iraq Invades Kuwait: Sixteen Years Ago Today--Recollections from the home front."

PS: I always enjoy your informative posts.

These sound like really neat young people -- soon to be so much more than that: young Patriots.

At times when I've looked at this next generation, occasionally I've given my head a shake in despair and thought "there's no hope": civilization is going down the toilet.

Then, I get to read about wonderful unselfish young people like these, and know that our Civilization is actually in very good hands: it's kids like this that will keep the world going.

God Bless 'em! Long life and swift promotion to 'em!

“I wanted to do something that would really challenge myself,” she said. Already, she’s meeting her recruiter three times a week to do push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups and take long runs to ensure she’s physically ready.

This girl is an amazing person.... remember back in the 90's when we had Shannon whats her name using lawsuits to get into VMI, only to drop out.

God bless and keep our brave fighting men.
