I do not agree 100% with the JFK's statement, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." It sounds good, and I'm as patriotic as I can be, but it really doesn't ring true because people make the country. The country is here to serve people, not the other way around. Of course, the beneficiaries of a good society should be good citizens, pay taxes, etc.
I believe in a smaller, highly paid, military made up of professionals. The general population should not be drafted or involved in combat operations unless we're in a large war and have no choice.
I think that anybody that chooses to live in Israel is crazy. I donâ??t hate the country, but would never go there - even if I won a free vacation. My present situation in New York City isn't exactly a panacea, either, since I work in a known terrorist-threat area.Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on .
