I agree that Romney and Daniels aren’t the answer. As to your other point, there are other arenas than the military. I have fibromyalgia, lyme disease, scoliosis and am severely near-sighted. The military isn’t an option for me. I’m studying to fight the battle in the classroom as a political science professor. If in the future I can get one student to reconsider the things they have been brainwashed about pertaining to government, then I will have made a small contribution to the cause of liberty. By the way, who do you support, since most of the options have no military background.
EVERYBODY recognizes that 30/40% of young men are unfit to serve for physical or other reasons. I’d don’t question Krauthammer, or Senator East or anybody else who were prohibited from joining. I do have contempt for folks who got deferment after deferment to avoid service; that includes everybody in that category, ESPECIALLY those who want to subsequently put themselves in leadership positions. The same goes for our able bodied young men of today who tune in to watch women there age deploy (many for the second and third times) into hazardous fire areas while they sit at home. I have nothing but contempt for them.
