I'm sure I'll get a lot of flack for this blanket statement, but I think anyone would have to be certifiably nuts or dumb as a back of rock to put their life in the hands of the U.S. military leadership (all the way up to the White House).

As I get older, I find myself identifying myself more and more with the Nathaniel character from the movie Last of the Mohicans. He was challenged by a British officer about his reluctance to volunteer for a militia to help the British Army fight the French in 1757. The officer asked him: "You call yourself a patriot, and loyal subject to the crown?!"

. . . to which he replied: "I don't call myself subject to much at all."

Correction: That's "dumb as a bag of rocks" in the first sentence. It's getting late. LOL.
