One of the things you talk about is our young people. How do we attract them into one of the myriads of approaches of service to the Country? Then there is the *long term* issue of attracting young people into the military, how do we do it? Do we need a draft? Don't forget, that was the 'Wolf", always outside your door. The draft was the thing that kept the young men motivated. I went away to college, but came home. It was just a bad move. I graduated high school at 17. I enlisted in the Military and still got my draft notice. No, I don't want a draft.

I know that it is illogical to expect something from the young people that they don't see from their parents and grandparents. Many people in our era grew up in the shadow of Woodstock, the question becomes where are you serving or where have you served?

They're not good or bad...just different...just like change. The American public has to pay attention for a while. Pull their heads out and check things out. They, not I, were sold a bill of goods and it has to be fixed. And yes, not just the politicians...the media is way out of control and the academics teaching our kids. We have to re-establish what built this country and put it back together again. We are still the last great hope for everyone...not just this country. I want to be able to vote for someone I believe in...not just hold my nose like the last time. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103305 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103305 Sun, 09 May 2010 12:34:20 -0600 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103304 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103304 Sun, 09 May 2010 12:18:38 -0600 yea, but if the nurse with the syringe and needle is whats-her-name-from-up-north you know that you'll get Keepemthere up your butt, because she got confused and took the wrong medicine. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103292 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103292 Sat, 08 May 2010 16:49:57 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103275 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103275 Sat, 08 May 2010 14:26:07 -0600
You are totally right about re-starting with a wiser group. It will be a lot of work but more then worth it.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103274 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103274 Sat, 08 May 2010 14:11:47 -0600 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103273 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103273 Sat, 08 May 2010 13:53:03 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103272 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/05/gonorrhea_lecti.html#comment-103272 Sat, 08 May 2010 13:16:11 -0600
