Yup....back then we had to fight them Commies!!!

Now US Corporations are in bed with their Commie pals, shipping over to Commie China millions of good US Jobs Americans used to have. Now the Commie China economy grows and will surpass the USA, thanks to US Corporate Greed, while the USA slowly implodes, thanks to Corporate Greed!......

I was drafted in the last couple years before it became a Volar military that eliminated the Draft.

Agree the Draft should be brought back because there was a lot less misuse and abuse of our Military when the Draft existed. It's criminal what those in our Volunteer Military have to endure now, that NEVER happened during times of the Draft.....

Nixon pulled us out of NAM hoping it would save his sorry arse from impeachment or being forced out of office. It didn't work, tricky Dick was forced to resign.

Iraq is just going through the SAME death spiral that happened in NAM!.....

Some peeps never learn from history's mistakes, they just repeat them....

I think the draft should be brought back too,pay the troops beer and cigarette money like it used to be but as far as abuse we must have been in different armies, six trainees died in basic training and things went downhill from there

Died from what?
Whole time I was in no one died during training but a few died from PT abuse and they were not trainees. What was very disconcerting was all the PT easily available on base! All Top Shelf Shit! Especially around payday, when the back of the barracks WAS a purple haze! Actually saw more PT abuse on base than while in college!!!....

Richie sang about your side back in the 60s and sadly it applies more today than back then....

My son is the 5 generation in the U.S. military from my family. Anytime you have 300 million people trying to agree you get what this thread is all about. Be grateful we can speak like this openly and remember everyone has the right to how they think and feel. Be thankful we can still do this in this country. Also jobs are available for those who want one just look real hard and you will see help wanted signs everywhere. You just have to be willing to do the jobs that are available

First thing you should remember is that community colleges are supported locally and not with federal funds. Obama has no business interfering.

Second, nothing is free. Those of you who believe that can line up for the showers before we take you over to see the furnaces. It is figured that the FREE schooling will cost the taxpayers $60 billion over 10 years. This is government accounting though, multiple by three. Who is going to pay it? Why the people with a associates degree who can't find a job. Better if Obama reduced the interest rates on students loans (they did go up under Obama) which is something that he has control over.
