I would absolutely NOT recommend he join this country’s military. By the time he’s of age, Hillary will be in the White House. She’ll be no better than the halfrican-in-chief is now.

The military is not the way it used to be. Chicks and fags on the front lines. Sensitivity training. Nation building in Islamic dumps. Almost all Generals are more like politicians than military men. I was only in the USAF, but I would not recommend anyone join the military now.

My son and I have discussed military service. One does not join up and fall behind a leader who is diametrically opposed to the values of the country. My son is patriotic, our leadership is not. To further the aims of despots and kleptocrats is not a good thing.

I was going to mention the same thing about the USCG. It’s no longer DOT but DHS.

Bottom lne is ignore the little twerp. He is looking for a hand out and believes by threatening America we will give him something.

Problem for Kim is Obama cares more about golf and the bruthas than North Korea.

A leftist acquaintance and I were talking about the draft recently, and I said if you think my son is going to be placed in harm’s way for the policies you have supported while your (only child) daughter sits at home, you are sadly mistaken. The draft will be for everyone. If we are playing by leftist rules, then they apply everywhere.

Dangerously, insanely ridiculous.

What if some drunk, fanatical officer of an artillery unit on the border fires off a volley at Seoul? Things would fly out of control in a hurry.

There is one good thing about it.

Being a leftist they do every ass backwards so you know exactly what they are doing.

What we’re seeing is a repeat of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The way it is supposed to work, the nuke threat is supposed to be made THEN the govt is supposed to respond with a buildup of arms and ammo for civilian forces in this country in case the cities have to be evacuated and there is a massive number of refugees swarming throughout the country stealing and looting everything as they go.

Although I would not necessarily recommend it for similar reasons, kepp in mind the possibility of serving in a state military force. Thiis is NOT the National Guard or Air National Guard, which are branches of the Federal Reserves. There are a few states which have a state military and/or naval military force that is not a component of the Federal Reservee. They exist in part as a response to the state’s loss of its National guard when activated for Federal service. Members of these state military and naval forces may be exempt from being drafted or commissioned into Federal service. They are, however, subject to some of the same political influences as we see in the rest of American society today.

That was my first thought too. I would be surprised if they could manage to hit SOUTH KOREA.

When they say rocket units, are they referring to the Iranians backpacking suitcases across the Mexican border?

The military is still a good career, just tell him that sometimes a nincompoop is commander-in-chief

We need good people INSIDE the military to keep an eye on what goes on inside there.

If Obama is purging any Generals based on the fact that they would object to shooting US Civilians, and with the homosexual agenda in place (promoting ‘like minded’ to the top) there is some cause for concern, and need for good guys in there to try to stop it.
