WOW..I never in a million years thought I would agree with Rangel, but you know what...he is RIGHT!
Many of the people who sign up don't do it for the benefits or the bonus...they sign up because they love this Country and they believe FREEDOM is worth dying for!
Of course the America haters, blame America leftist commies wouldn't understand that and they NEVER will!
You've got it, jan. Rangel's right, alright.
He's kinda got this one right, too:
If a young fella has an option of having a decent career or joining the army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq.
I just must assume he left out one word...
If a young fella has an option of having a decent career or joining the army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would rather not be in Iraq.
Rangel simply neglected to mention the young fella bet his life for the option of having a decent career and a decent country in which to have said career. That part probably lays on the cutting room floor.
