Thanks for those kind words. I enjoyed the military and it helped shape me into the “deplorable” that I am today. Feel like all should serve in some kind of capacity. Lots of today’s youth could stand a good dose of regimentation and discipline to learn that the world doesn’t revolve around them. Make some men outta sissy boys. That being said, the military should be for the nation’s defense not to make money for the military/industrial complex. We ought not meddle in some folks affairs. Let them sort it out. I’m an old fart and went thru basic before the volunteer army. The draft was going on and my draft number was 6 that year. Way different back then.
