" I've seen very few Freepers report they were joining to help defend our country "
How young do you think we are? My son was two months out of the Navy and he turned around and enlisted in the Marines three weeks ago. My wife and I volunteered at the Red Cross until they didn't need us anymore. I carried concealed every day I was there. We did the phone banks, worked in the warehouse and did data entry on the missing. And we gave blood.

Chesty Puller would be proud of your boy...(And for what it's worth, your boy is going the original route to becoming a Marine: ala pre 1775 stuff).

I'm really not sure of your point. For what it is worth, I think that a large number of Freepers are 18 to 25 years old and that there are very few who have joined since 9/11. The "reasons" and arguments these keyboard warrior self described "conservatives" post against serving make me sick.
.... I carried concealed every day....
If you actually came here to NY and did that I hope you had the appropriate ticket as NY just don't play concealed carry permits for civilians.
I salute your son.
