You're younger than 37, right? Actually, they give waivers for age
anyway. You can enlist.

Go ahead, you appear to believe in the cause... or are you just a
chicken**** coward?

You can wait in line to enlist right behind NOBBY... if there is a line,
which I doubt. You can send your kids too.

If not, then shut yer yaps. Neither have the balls to back up your
beliefs, just a lot of hot air... and no soldier ever won a battle by
loud-mouthing the enemy to death.

DSK

Did someone **** in your beer? You're sounding much like Kevin.

That is what happens when you hit the nail on the head WRT liebrals. The
fact if the matter is that today's military is all volunteer, yet these
whiners are complaining about having to perform the tasks that are at the
core of military service.

If you want to join a branch of the armed forces where you're least
likely to see combat, join the Coast Guard.


Maybe these young potential recruits need an agent representing them when
dealing with the US Military....something like a player agent in
professional sports.....or better yet a union.



A soldiers' union; I'll bring it up at the AFL-CIO meeting in two weeks in
Chicago. I get to go for a day or maybe two, and hope to return
unbloodied.



Maybe if Harry can get the AFL-CIO to start a "soldier's union", it will
partially make up for the 4 million members they're about to lose.

Looks like Harry is in for a long four days:


Largest Union Decides to Bolt AFL-CIO


Jul 24, 7:14 PM (ET)

By RON FOURNIER





CHICAGO (AP) - The AFL-CIO succumbed to division Sunday, with its largest
union deciding to bolt the 50-year-old federation and three others poised to
do so in a dispute over how to reverse organized labor's long slide.

The four unions, representing nearly one-third of the AFL-CIO's 13 million
members, announced Sunday they would boycott the federation's convention
that begins Monday. They are part of the Coalition to Win, a group of seven
unions vowing to reform the labor movement - outside the AFL-CIO if
necessary.

The Service Employees International Union, with 1.8 million members, plans
to announce Monday that it is leaving the AFL-CIO, said several labor
officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not
authorized to discuss the developments.

The Teamsters union also was on the verge of disaffiliating, and would
likely to be the first to follow SEIU's lead, the officials said. Two other
boycotting unions were likely to leave the federation: United Food and
Commercial Workers and UNITE HERE, a group of textile and hotel workers.
