I'm sorry, but once your kids are 18, you have no choice in their desire to enlist or refuse to put themselves in harms way like those of us that have or currently doing. That further belittles your opinion you have of the military.

Defensive Force?? What, join the Michigan Militia? That is eerily similar of what Caroline Kennedy said to why she wants to have Clintons long-time vacated Senate seat - an Airheaded rationale of an answer.

I dont think it is an airhead response. I am tired of sending our children into Chaos-stan to fight in centturies old animosities. May Chaostan fall into itself.

No I dont think that my chidren should join a milita. I think the US should be focusing in on protection and survival instead of spending monies overseas.
