I did my ten years logjam, US Navy Veteran. Enlisted... yes go officer.

I would like to say I am completely AGAINST your line of thought. People should WANT to join, not feel compelled too. I hate that, seriously. I wanted recruits comming to the fleet that WANTED to be there, came to that conclusion on thier own. Nothing is worse then having some Seaman Recruit straight from Great Lakes start whinning about how he didn't really want to be there, he was only in because he felt he had too.

And trust me, seen it, hate it, am tottaly against it.

Guys and gals, if you feel you WANT to join, join. Don't join "because I'm a conservative I should". That's a bad attitude IMHO.

Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" is still being challenged to this day, but by consensus Global Warming is a fact... that's REAL science at work, why didn't Albert just go that route?
