Why people aren't joining the military?
Leo Morris | Guest Columnist 18 hrs ago

   
After a year and a half of trying to balance full-time college with full-time work, I had had enough and quit Indiana-Purdue University Fort Wayne.

That made me eligible for the military draft, a true government-induced hardship, all you college-loan whiners. But I had a plan to thwart the draft board.

“You cannot have two years of my life,” I thought triumphantly as I headed for the recruiting office. “I will enlist for three years.”

Not too bright.

Do you see what I just did there? It’s called humble bragging, the art of seeming to make a self-deprecating remark while in reality extolling one’s own virtue.

Conservatives and non socialist, non mentally ill sexual freaks aren't joining the military because when they have they were persecuted.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
