I suppose it has to be pointed out that we fought the wars we had

"They" didn't want most men of the appropriate age group. A very small
percentage got the letter to report for a physical. And from what I've
noticed among several of those here who "served," the standards had to
have been pretty low for mental abilities, which makes perfect
sense...how smart do you have to be to stop a bullet in a war against
people who were no threat to the United States?

From the keyboard of a chicken.

Amen.
