From your profile I see you really want to serve. If true, let me recommend the US Army. I spent a year as a Lieutenant in the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam and retired as a Colonel. Comparing service in the armed forces to service as a staffer in DC or in some government department is like comparing quail shooting to chicken stealing.
FWIW, I'm a Ron Paul supporter.
you are a liberal is what you are.
if you support Ron Paul. you are a irrational liberal in sheeps clothing.
