I agree - but for different reasons.

God Bless America, and God Bless our Troops -

But God Help the rest of us if President Bush has mis-calculated !

I've seen some of our Freepers enthusing over the high probability of war with Iraq -and N. Korea - and Saudi Arabia - and Yemen - and The Phillipines - and Red China ... Have I left anyone out ? ( Oh yes : Cuba and Mexico. )

I imagine I'm draft exempt, by reason of age and prior military service - ( You won't see a lot of 68 year olds being called up, no matter how bad it gets ! ) - but I'm not quite as sure about you hot-blooded, eager-for-war " young ' uns ".

Maybe - just maybe the all-volunteer Armed Forces, the Reserves, and the National Guard will be enough - but, looking at the potential for conflict on a worldwide scale, I kind of doubt it !

When you get that Draft Notice in the mail, don't whine about it !

Please be honest enough to say : I'm one of the folks who encouraged this war, and I'm proud to be a part of it !

If they want me, I'm all theirs.
But being that I'm too old to join, I'll just break some kneecaps of the protesters. I remember watching the highschool kids protesting against the VietNam war when I was in second grade in NYC, even then I knew what was right.

We have failed as a nation since the end of WWII, and it is because of the politicians.
Remember we are still at war with North Korea, it was left as a stalemate.
While our soldiers were winning in VietNam our politicians were negotiating our defeat in Paris and abandoning our friends in the south(the people we promised to save from Communism).
Lebanon,Somalia, etc.. Our Soldiers give their all and win and our politicians bring us defeat.

I think the ones you need to keep from whining are the politicians!
