07/06 Baby Wars
Quote From: dissedvetJoining the military is a choice ( well maybe not, women are excluded from the selective service; maybe that's why there are more women in college these days. They can apply for Federal Financial Aid without fear of reprisal. The government pamphlets that are disseminated on the college campuses throughout America regarding Selective Service blantantly state in bold letters ITS WHAT A MAN HAS GOT TO DO....I guess you are not a man if you don't. If not a man does that make you a woman) but each day I see the tributes to our fallen military heroes it seem like all the dead servicemen you see are just that, men. Maybe we are just sperm donors. War going sperm donors who have taken an oath to defend a Constitution that in cases such as provides about as much protection for them as thinly armored HUMVEES provide against an IED... Constitution.. you mean we still have one of those? Could have fooled me.. especially when the man in charge of the brave men and women who serve this country and die for our freedoms and rights or what they believe in is taking it apart line by line. Kind of ironic. But I have nothing but respect for our military branches.. regardless of gender.
