Exactly right. The answer was we should never have been there in the first place, and the whole country knew the answer back then. However, with the passage of time the lessons are usually forgotten and people think we should stay because we are TOLD we need to stay, with nothing to explain why.

No, actually, I don't. He'd get dragged out of the Whitehouse and lynched down by the Vietnam Memorial, and he knows it.
Don't forget, that "trial balloon" was floated abvout two years ago with a call for "non military" national service for ALL people leaving high school. A program which was well recieved by the right wing and required all the nations teenagers to sign up. The proponents were stressing the non military part while at the same time advocating a military style "boot camp". But NOT military.

Is that the best these assholes can do, or is it just me? If you want to advocate the draft, fine, ADVOCATE the damn thing and quit trying to hoodwink the people.

OOOps, I forgot...that usually works!


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
