I always considered it a privilege and an honor to serve my country the six years I was in. NEVER did I consider it my right.

The left is transforming the military from a fighting force into an equality force -just another government funded affirmative action jobs program.

You’re exactly right; that is why I’ve never spoken against budget cuts for the military. We live in an age where there is little reason to risk American lives to achieve our goals; there is no need to keep so much more of our permanent underclass in a workfare program when they become adults after feeding, housing, and clothing them for the first 18 years of their lives. I know others join the military for much nobler goals, but the country they seek to serve died years ago.

Remember those two girls (one white, one black - in non-combat rolls) captured years ago in Iraq in a convoy ambush? You looked at these two, and had to ask yourself what the Hell they were doing there, and what our enemies must have thought of us for sending them. It certainly emboldened them, and in the end we declared victory while evacuating our forces in the dead of night to prevent any of those iconic photos like Saigon 1975. We lost the war in Iraq; simple as that.
