Re: by Nick Palmisciano
Lefty, My generation, the current war's "old men," learned most of what we are getting right from our fathers and older brothers in your generation. As long as the kids doing the heavy lifting in this war respect me, I couldn't care less what society at large thinks. Very respectfully, Trog

Re: Draft McDonnell?
You lack perspective. As the Republican author of Romneycare and presumptive nominee for President put it, his sons served their country by working to get him the Presidency. I am guessing he served his country by raking in cash as a gifted investor. Remember, only about 33% of Americans even meet t...

Re: Gen. Petraeus Admits Son Served Tour in Afghanistan
My point is, as long as the portion of the American population that is involved in the military shrinks compared to the overall population, nobody will recognize the implications of what it means to serve over seas. Agreed, but I'm ambivalent about how to change it. Only 30% of the US population me...

Re: Gen. Petraeus Admits Son Served Tour in Afghanistan
Nope, it's because nobody thinks or pays attention. Same morons enthusiastically voted for the current POTUS, and have now turned on him. WHY did they turn on him--what changed their minds? Many of us NEVER supported his candidacy, because we knew that despite his pretty words, his associations with...

Re: Diversity panel wants military to look like U.S.
they turn the military into some police and fire departments, we're going to lose our country. True, but there are enough dinosaurs like us that this will not ever completely happen. As soon as we hae a war where our national survival is clearly at stake, the country will get as serious about us as...

Re: Vietnam War Data
Very interesting. Nothing to add, except "THANK YOU" to you and the rest of the 10% of your generation who deployed.
You are my generation's heroes.

Re: Gen. Petraeus Admits Son Served Tour in Afghanistan
Perhaps the distance exists because today's infantry types are dinosaurs, with "old school" attitudes and values, despite the cultural shift going on all around them. No matter how bad society gets, there will always be enough of us knuckleheads around to set things straight when things go...

Re: Good read for all
Al, As long as your generation just keeps the domestic bad guys from treating us the way they treated you, we'll be fine. It's part of the reason you're all such heroes to our generation. You're the giants upon whose shoulders we stand. I couldn't care less about the media, politicians, or the gener...
