I served for many reasons and like all modern soldiers, I volunteered. To this day, I realize that not only was I defending the country, I was defending Americans’ abilities to say and do things I disagree with. Now I hear from Michelle Malkin that there is an organized campaign against recruiters tomorrow. After watching their video, I have several thoughts.
- Someone spent too much time reading the dictionary.
- These people have serious us/them issues.
- The recruiters must either have mind control powers or teenagers are morons.
- The war is “racist”? News to me.
The statements by those opposed to the military and recruiters have little basis in reality. Overall, I have to say I am fine with pacifists not joining the military. In fact, I would prefer that they do not. However, I want those who don’t join doing so based on logic and reason. There are many good reasons to join. We have a great country and way of life and it is worth defending.
