Enough whining about how great the troops are, I got the point in the beginning but still don't agree with giving a discount or post service benefits. No one ever answered me, is a US citizen who chose to serve in the french foreign legion a veteran or not? Many who do not believe in fighting the US...

So, this is an Ygmir question, but aren't ravens the scavengers of battlefields, and associated with a war-god? Thought, Memory. Not that it's particularly pertinent, but it does add an interesting wrinkle to the discussion in light of the screen name. well, Odin (one of his many titles is as a war...

There are a couple countries I think Switzerland and Israel. Make it a requirement, like selective service reg. It does not mean war, but rather national guard stuff. Rebuilding communities, Americorp work, national defense......and IF our fine leaders wish to endanger ALL the countries youth includ...

It would be the peoples army with no one group thinking they deserve squat. Ridiculous. Having a draft would still create one group thinking they deserve squat--that group would be called VETERANS you idiot.

I agree with the draft too, instead of a bunch of the same minded people going in and giving the service a bad name you have EVERYONE going in and diversifying the ranks. It would be the peoples army with no one group thinking they deserve squat. I also support mandatory service as well, 1-2 years s...

I thought getting something for nothing and being taken care of by the government was Socialism? I thought you pro-American types despised that system as it was anti-american? BTW, any vet who does not brag, whine and does not take benefits is A OK in my book. It's an honor to know those folks. WW2 ...

I know several vets from Iraq who went there, drank a lot screwed a lot, and had a wild time for the most part all while on the taxpayer dime. Then they come back to the US and have a heros welcome with jobs on a platter and free college educations. Sure there were a few who were not as lucky, but t...

don't you guys get enough discounts and freebees already from free education to free medical treatment and great pay....sorry I had to say it.
