The real cool story is with a Democrat I know who leans very Left but has a natural aptitude for leadership. He is an Eagle Scout in our troop. He "somehow" got into ROTC (I still don't know how that happened exactly) and graduated college with honors. He is now in Baghdad with the 4ID. He still considers himself a Democrat but is now disgusted with who they are running on the national stage. He didn't re-up so he has to figure out what he wants to do when they get back home. One minute he talks about volunteering for a year to help Doctors without Borders with logistics (his MOS) and the other minute about being a civil affairs officer with the reserves while he goes for his masters. He would excel at either.
LOL! Oh, to be single and young again!
