So, you're already in the Ukraine, in training, as a volunteer ? Good for you. How about some live shots of the action from the viewpoint of a grunt volunteer?

I don't understand the weird, juvenile schoolyard taunts. Do you go after Mafia kingpins or fight wildfires on a volunteer basis? That's why we pay taxes, so that people we employ with those taxes perform their specified duties. As citizens and the military's paymasters, we collectively decide what those duties ought to be, and this debate is all about what they ought to be doing.

LOL.

So, you ain't goin' but you want someone else to.

Same as the brave guys were tickled to see me off to VN then go back to their college fun and games.

Some people are all hat and no cattle.

Nice hat

You are completely full of it. The fact that our taxes might be paying for military pay does NOT give us some sort of right to send them off as modern day mercenaries. The military is for the defense of OUR country, not people halfway across the world in a place most Americans couldn’t find on the map.
