You've done a lot already, but have you considering joining the military for a while as a way to further the cause of America? Ah, the military. A good portion of my family served... one grandpa was Army intel (WWII), another was an Army cook/antitank (WWII), and my step grandfather was a Navy medic. My uncle served in the Marine Corps and was almost selected to serve on Marine One. At this point I'm planning to go to college, where I hope to study political science, foreign affairs, national security studies, etc. I hope to begin a career serving my country in another way: hopefully working for the Central Intelligence Agency or one of the many other federal intel branches. Perhaps one day, after college, I will consider National Guard or reservist duty. I can say one thing though... if we go to total war in the near future, and it gets to the point where we're drafting, I'd be more than willing to volunteer active duty. We shall see. -Scott

Sounds reasonable. Good luck with that plan. Besides, I think you will be going to war, no matter what. If you are an open activist conservative going to almost any American college, congratulations! You will be on the front line of the cultural wars. And that war is pretty important, too!

Full disclosure: I myself didn't sign up for the military when I was 18, but I joined last year at age 35 as a naval reservist. It's been great, so I'm pleased to hear you say you might consider the reservist/national guard option when you get older.

Anyway, good luck with college.
