Up until the past several years I would not have discouraged an 18 year old from joining up. But too much has changed over 20 years or so. Until our elected leaders in Washington DC stop the illicit social engineering, consistent under manning with consistent over deploying, and such things as the insane 8 year first enlistment obligation, I can't encourage anyone to join but rather advise against it at the current time. This repeal is the last straw.
Until we once again get a POTUS of the Reagan caliber who will actually stand up to congress for our troops it's not going to get better. Our troops deserve far better support and treatment than what this nation has been giving them for two decades straight. Supporting our troops also means giving them what they need including equipment and manpower.
GOD help and protect those now serving. May they not be the ones who's lives are sacrificed for our elected leaders gross tyranny against GOD and our country. Sad to say leaders are one of two things. They usually are either a blessing or curse in direct reflection of national attitude towards GOD.
Only Two Choices are left for U.S. One Nation Under GOD or One Nation Under Judgment? Which way will this nation remain? Right now we are headed into judgment. Ones not thinking this is not the "State of The Union" are only kidding themselves and are in denial.

This is one of my prayers for our troops, too.

Due to the decidedly lopsided vote in favor of DADT repeal, I believe we are already One Nation Under Judgment.
