And of course...video games.

The latest ads for our military are more shameless than ever.

Congress needs to address this.

1. Last year it was fighting dragons.
Congress should absolutely address it, but the damage is probably already done. Wonder how many kids have died as a direct result of those bullshit commercials?

3.  Bring back the Draft.

Let everyone in this country share the responsibility of Freedom.

4. No thank you
As a an Army member and a Senior NCO the last thing I want is a platoon of 35 18 year olds that don't want to be there. I prefer the current system thank you very much.

5. I know what you mean but until the unwashed masses have skin in the game,
we're not going to get enough folks out in the streets to stop the occupation. That's the only thing our congresscritters understand - boots in the streets.

Peace Brother,
