[quote=jambutty] From what I have heard recently bullseyebarb the bulk of the new recruits to the USA armed forces are men and women at the bottom of the ladder with little or no hope of attaining a decent life.
So the truth hurts then? quote)

You are misinformed, jambutty. As a recent independent study shows, the men and women of the U.S. armed forces are educated and well trained. You cannot be a dolt in today's military because it's so highly technical. Members of the military are not hopeless souls with no chance of attaining a decent life. So, as Less would say, stop insulting our young men and women. In my own community we have a National Guard unit which returned from Iraq several months ago. These are my neighbors. Very bright individuals. Doctors, small business people, teachers, lawyers, truck drivers, engineers, etc., They already have a decent life, yet these good folks volunteer for duty because they love their country.

And, yes, the media has done a lousy job!

If America went to war for land and oil, etc., then where the hell are they? Pardon me, but I believe Great Britain is the country that had the largest Empire ever known.
