We've done this at least 3 times before.  The US military's financial and racial makeup is pretty much the same as the US as a whole... a little more middle class a little more southern.  A little less rich, a little less poor, a little less northeasterners.  But there are plenty of white middle class people in the military, more than average even.  The meme that the US military is full of poor people or "browns" is a strong one, but it's just not true.

I don't care if they care or not, they are obviously morons just like him as they keep voting the corrupt douche back in office.

[dead0man]

He has a point in general that the US would probably be more reluctant to fight wars if the average person had to actually fight them.

AGAIN, the military IS a near perfect cross section of the US at large.  It's full of "average" people.

[dead0man]

One thing to keep in mind, most people (75%) of fighting age aren't able to join for various reasons.  Too dumb or too fat/out of shape are the...ahem...big ones.

You still have not found a Democrat or a liberal that can match Republican nonsense, so please keep searching, your quest is entertaining.

I'm not looking for anything, certainly not balance between the two, as I don't care much for either.  But thanks for reading!

I'm not particular anxious for war, but I did (and sort of still do) put myself on the line thankyouverymuch.

Suggesting that the nation ought to pay for a war should it to choose to go to war is a perfectly reasonable suggestion. Doing things the George Bush way is what was moronic.

Agreed on both counts.

He's right...

Except as has been pointed out several times now, he's not...but whatever, some you guys read only what you want to read.

It IS poorer,

It's not cite

Probably, but I'm not finding proof one way or the other.  It's certainly not as religious as non-religious non-military people seem to think it is.

slightly so, but if you'll note, Rangel was claiming it wasn't white enough for him

So, then you agree we need to shake Americans out of war apathy, which is what Rangel is saying?
[/quote]sure?  But is the draft the best way to do that?  Nobody involved wants it.

People... defending Rangel. Done.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that.  Sure, we can expect it from Snowbigot (who never even showed up), lief and Joe...the boring contrarians, but not from King and Franzl.
