I do - a conservative is a person who believes in our nation's Constitution and our core values. One of those core values is the sharing of our country's defense and learning military skills so we can carry out our part of protecting our families and our communities when we have completed our service. Dodging that responsibility is not a conservative principle and leaves somebody else to fill that person's place and assume the risks instead. That is why I am no fan of people like Rush who talk a good game but when we needed every single able man to help us in Vietnam, he stayed out because of butt cysts. I hope that he always wonders who took his (and Clinton's, and Cheney's) place and if that guy survived. In Vietnam, I learned which citizens were willing and able to shoulder the risks for their country and each other and which people suddenly decided that their skins were worth more than their country.
I don’t remember state slavery being part of the Constitution.
