Thanks again for sharing...gave me a bit more insight into Sean Conners! thanks! this article is a little more personal than most of my writing. most of the events happened some time ago and our path is currently on the way back. i gave a lot of thought about talking about this for a long time, then when i saw the sheer amount of people in sim. boats that we were and i saw other families deal with the same or parallel issues on the reportrs about it i g

maybe we should give all of our troops 2 months of R&R for dog days of summer. i'm thinkin that might either change their vacation plans or tell us once and for all, with no confusion, that our presence isn't appreciated there.

one more note,,,on the "exceptions" ...i don't know exactly what they would be, but i think it should be approached with a "exceptions for not being good enough" only. in otherwords, like disabilities they might not want to deal with or accomodate. but the argument that a young person "has things more important" to do, like dick cheney did 5 times, and any other "i'm too good and important to serve" would be unacceptable.

Reply to Should We Be Re-Thinking The "All Volunteer Military?" in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

I think two years of some sort of mandatory civil service/military service would be good. Not everyone is military material, but everyone can certainly serve in other capacities. I think it would go along way in making better rounded citizens and a much stronger government. thanks tova,,,that's basically what i am gettin at. i'll let others quibble over the details and such. but it needs to be fair and universal. not the "draft" that was more of a way to

I didn't choose the terminology - you did. Kind of a lame dodge on your part. i'm not dodging. i'm fine withthe treminology i used. you're the one who questioned it. I suppose Bush's election & re-election weren't "minimalized"? More like "assumed to be illegitimate", as I recall. that's what i said in my response...the winners play it up, the loser plays it down...that's politics. and like it often is

The commercial is funny, and runs on cable news shows regularly. A man, in a nice Suburban setting, is showing the audience his nice life that includes all the ammenities and cool stuff. Then he asks rhetorically, "How do I do it?" and answers himself,,, "i'm in debt up to my eyeballs!" as his family and neighbors go about their business in the bac

But less to the point, my faith in politics is being born out. WHile I have never agreed with most of Baraks positions, the more I hear of him during this campaign, the less I like him (the latest being the myspace snafu) as a person i have mixed feelings on the man. i read his best seller last year and was impressed with him as a man. i also got the impression from his book that he wouldn't be running. unfortunately, in between him wr

I don't believe the media or anyone on the left took Bush's re-election to mean that the American people "demanded" anything. i'm not really lookin to have a terminology debate. you can call it whatever ya want daiwa. The Senate goes Democrat by one seat and suddenly "the American people demand a change in direction," but only on the pet issues of the left, and only in their direction. lol...funny, jus

So in short, you haven't served in the military. that's not what you asked. you asked "when i was joining" as if i had a choice there and were choosing to avoid service. that is false. fact is i joined, or tried to join, depending on how you define it...and was rejected due to failing the physical. fact is, if the military would take my hearing challenged ass, i'd serve. and i never endorsed the war in iraq. that does indeed seperate

So when are you joining the military, Sean? If not, where do you get off calling people names like chicken hawk? i took the asvab, auditioned and took the military physical my senior year of high school. the audition was in virginia for their music program. i passed the audition, aced the asvab and flunked the hearing test due to my frequent exposure to loudness (at the time i was playing in a punk rock band and in 2 jazz groups) an

Nothing personal, Sean, but this statement is a highly subjective interpretation of the aggregate effect of hundreds of individual elections, each of which was decided on a long list of issues, it is, they were but there was a general "theme" in the election overall. would you say the same about 94? or 2002? not to mention most presidential contests, where the "coat-tails can sometimes be quite long.

In Washington D.C., Judge Roy Pearson is showing the nation why our Constitution is so important. Not by serving a slew of well thought out, principled, yet pragmatic decisions. But with his abuse of his power, over a pair of pants. 2 years ago, the judge enlisted the services of a local dry cleaner. The neighborhood dry cleaner, who seems an otherwise relia

Military Wife Blasts Bill Kristol On C-Span in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

This lady gives a great commentary on the stress that our military families are experiencing due to this administration's reckless policies and lack of planning have caused. Policies that Mr Kristol has been pushing since the beginning. the self described "orig. neocon" chickenhawk tries to show how "regular guy" he is but exposes himself for being the narrow

Much has been made overthe past few years about profiling. Profiling is the practice of looking for certain "types" of people and holding them under greater scrutiny. And while the practice of singling out people based on their race, religion, gender or whatever will always be a "hot button" debate issue, republican lawmakers are lobbying Speaker Nanci Pelosi for some
