This is brilliant timing and an excellent speech. I really liked that the president mentioned that our military is VOLUNTEER - something the leftists forget all too often.

I really liked that the president mentioned that our military is VOLUNTEER -
something the leftists forget all too often.

Something that (at least indirectly) bothers some liberals.
They fear those self=selecting for military service are just too
conservative (and Republican).

This liberals' fear factor was discussed in the otherwise excellent
book by Thomas Ricks "Making The Corps".

The only thing that scares those same liberals worse: two-year compulsary
military service for all able-bodied men and women.
That might actually give them a sense of discipline; which is often
an antidote for the slobby, pacifistic mindset of teenage liberals.
