I love the military and everything they have given us, but I think it is too PC for the likes of me. I have family and friends in the military, and there is a-lot of good and bad that they tell me. This humble citizen thinks (for himself) the bad is intolerable. I have no time for kid games.........that was highschool........this is now.

jAY, I was in Vietnam as a helicopter door gunner in the 101st Airborne Division. Believe me there was a lot of politics going on then. But that is no excuse not to join. Your excuses are weak. I am sure glad most conservatives do not feel like you do. Most of the military are conservatives.
Johnson & the left wing politicians ran the war from DC. In spite of this the military had it won in 1968 and we won every major battle after that. The politicians pulled us out not allowing us to win. But being too PC and all the excuses you gave is no reason not to join, then or now. THERE ARE NO KID GAMES I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU CLAIM. Fighting and dieing is NO KID GAME. There is nothing childish about the military. It is all adult. I do not know if you are telling the truth or someone lied to you but your info about the military does not match reality.
Now, Bush is letting the military run the war and we are winning and will win. Again, Jay, your excuses for not joining the military is all wrong and does not match what the military is really like.
