Should people who are of age that support the war enlist?

I find it facinating that there are still people out there that still believe that this quagmire of a war is justified. What is even more puzzleing to me is that people on this post vehemently defend this policy. I participated in a shameful war in southeast asia in the early 70s, saw the waste of life, the devastation, all of the cliches of the horrors of war. So I feel strongly about sending americans to war unless it is the last possible solution. Having said that, I believe that people that support this war should put thier beliefs where thier mouths are and enlist for combat or if a female the closest thing to combat instead of letting other people do thier fighting for them!;)

Amen...it is easy to support when your ass is sitting on the sidelines..if you support..get over there and kick some doors down and see how you feel then.

They should have a draft. The team that picks last, gets to pick first, in the second round.

Absolutely. There's a place for the people that want to kill and mame. Its Iraq. Be all that you can be.

Mean while maybe we can have a little more peace at home.

Yeah Psycho 4 Bud time to enlist :thumbsup: I don't want to be drafted for your war.

I agree completely. They sit there talking about how the war is justified, and how it's good for the country, and how they support it. However, most of them never would even think about doing it themselves.

This war should have never been put into action in the first place.

Volunteer Army:
To perform or offer to perform a service of one's own free will.
Since the options are obviously left wing lop sided I'll decline from the vote.

Don't let the dems scare ya.....you won't be drafted for shit. By the way, an individual from the army called a few months back to see if my son wanted to re-inlist....I told him I'd pass the message but was wondering about if I could get in to kick some insurgent ass. Since I'm 45 I'm over their age limit.

I do have a question for the anti-war left though.....in case we do pull out and there is another terrorist attack here. Should all the tree huggers enlist in order to finish a job that they wanted to run from?:D

By the way, my SON did his time and I have a few friends that DID enlist and are over there right now so I think we can drop the finger pointing b.s.

Have a good one!:s4:

it's a job .... over here we got like Walmart and Harris Teeter for
7.00 - 7.50 hour ..... i knew a dude who enlisted out of UNC 4
years E-3 now he's looking at 50K re-enlistment bonus. Of couse
you're legs, arms and eyes are worth more than 50K...... to me
at least.

Cheers to your son! I may not agree with the war but I respect anyone brave enough to fight in one.

And yeah, having someone tell you to enlist is kind of a dick move.

Shit we need more terorists attack here on US soil. Its getting way to boring. I wonder why all they attack is the ridh people? Why don't they attack a couple trailer parks?
