Maybe it is because I love this country and would do anything to protect it and that would improve society. Unfortunately that means that I would be protecting some people that I truly detest however they are Americans just the same so I will make that sacrifice. The America that I love is based on certain principles that I believe are just as true today as they were when this country was founded. I have served in the Army so I have made sacrifices and think that I am a better person for it. I believe that every young person can benefit from the principles and values that any military service instills in them. In my opinion anyone that says otherwise has obviously never served or they have and were discharged for other than completing their term of service honorably.

One thing that really irritates me is when people want to protest military establishments or service recruiters. The thing that people don’t realize is that recruiters really do not want to call their home and talk to them for ten to fifteen minutes only to hang up and call the next little spoiled or disrespectful jerk. Recruiters would much rather be doing the job they enlisted for and be with their brothers and sisters in a unit doing what they have been training for their entire career. So here is what happens, they are sent somewhere in the U.S. where they don’t know anyone and have no clue about the community they are moving to, to do a job where they have to ask people to do things and oh by the way they are Non Commissioned Officers which means that they are used to telling people what to do instead of asking people. They are mostly career soldiers, sailors, airmen or marines and a lot of them have served in combat in support of this nation. Now they have to go into the Arm Pit of America (Civilian World) and listen to nothing but disrespectful people, not just kids but mostly adults and parents tell them how despicable they are for trying to recruit their worthless little peace of garbage kid. Believe it or not recruiters don’t like your children they despise them but have to put up with them because NCO’s are professionals. It is a shame that that others are not. Six out of ten of these people that recruiters talk to are not even qualified to join.

There are many reasons why but probably the most common ones are because they are Obese (way to go mom and dad thanks for letting me get fat and have health problems waiting for me in the near future) or they are not able to pass the entrance test (yeh your son or daughter may be a straight A student but they are not able to do simple math or understand and comprehend the English language. Thanks educators) then there are the Law infractions (parenting is just wonderful these days, isn’t it)? So keeping your kids out of the service is the way you take care of them sounds like you should write a book on parenting. There is nothing that pains a recruiter more than sitting in the living/dining room of a trailer with a hole in the floor so big you can see the dirt on the ground through it and a cinder block holding the wrong sized front door closed with an applicant that is fully qualified to enlist and being told by his welfare collecting parent that he is not joining because of who is in office.

This doesn’t make any sense to me. If you are such a good parent and wanted what was best for your child wouldn’t you be out trying to create a better life for them rather than sitting on your obese rump telling them no when that is what they are trying to do. It is not only in the poverty stricken areas that this happens. Even little Johnny with the silver spoon in his mouth that goes out partying and driving daddy’s Lexus into a telephone pole without regard for other peoples safety has parents that are stupid enough to think he will not die if he doesn’t serve in the military. When he is out drinking and driving, doing drugs and god only knows what else because you sure don’t but you are looking out for their best interest. I got it.

I will tell you what I hope. I hope that the Draft is reinstated very soon. Not because we are at war but because all of you people that want to keep the military off of campuses and think that you are to good to serve or what ever your lame excuse is. You need to know what sacrifice is. Our educators are praised for so called education of young people but they can’t pass a simple military entrance test. Now there are some good teachers out there and I would never say that they all are corrupt but I know the school system is pushing college because it is about the money so you are no better than anyone else. Colleges want your money and they gladly accept federal money but they want to bash the people that provide the choice of college, workforce, military or underachievement. Bring on the draft.

I support any political member who wants to bring it and I am quite sure I am backed by the majority of the men and women who have served and are currently serving. Wake up America society is in the toilet and one of the big reasons is everyone wants their freedom but no one wants to earn it. We only want to see negative media we don’t want to see anything positive because we would have nothing to complain about. Suck it up because you know it is true. Quit complaining about America or get out. There is a country for you somewhere and true Americans don’t want you here if you don’t like it. Trust me we will move on without you and our society will be better for it.
