Great. Be sure to post when you decide to sack-up and go to the front line in Ukraine to save the free world.

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.

The issue isn't whether you should sign up with Putin's invaders or I should sign up with Ukraine's patriots - it's whether Russian territorial ambitions should be stopped here or much later on, when the costs will be much higher. The lesson of Munich is tumors should be excised before they metastasize.
