Who cares what that dried up old prune has to say about anything. Every time he opens his mouth, he just shows what a stupid old fool he is.
Poor, Old Andy...there he goes, again...wet his pants in public!!! Why doesn't he just retire gracefully before he hurts himself by tripping over his tongue...again. Putz.
"It doesn't produce the best Army"? Has he looked at our Army lately? They are the best in the world. We do need to increase our numbers though. Especially since Mrs. Bill Clintons husband cut us from 20 divisions to 10 divisions.
He still resents it.. Serf mentality.. Like everyone he works with..
1st-I joined 7 months before graduating(DEP)so getting or not getting a job had nothing to do with it. But what's really sad was when I was a Ft. Benning I read about 3 of Rooney's books and enjoyed them at the time. Now THAT was a waste.
The problem liberals have, comparing draftees to volunteers, is that they don't understand the concept of people doing something just because it's right.
In peacetime, you might plausibly argue that many young people enlist to find economic opportunity. However, we have been at war for several years now, and the recruits are all being told that they can expect to fight.
This means that they are all heros (using the real definition of the word). That is, they all chose great risk for themselves, in order to protect others. An army of heros will always be better than an army of conscripts.
Draftees are made up of a variety of people, many will prove to be good soldiers, but many others are cowards, and cowards are worth less than nothing in an army.
