well, the sad thing is that enlistment is down because this war is sensless and young americans are smart enough to know that they dont want to risk thier life to bring down gas prices. i was a hair away from joining the service when 911 happened. coming from a long line of servicemen a figured it was my duty to serve. i had taken and passed my asvab with 98 percentile and planned on swearing in that very week. when those planes hit the twin towers, my dad and grandfather demanded that i stay home. my father worked for the cia and nsa during his careerand he knows hoe dirty our government is. although he wont talk about it, i can tell when he is in disbelief. he says his job was to "keep secrets" and thats all he will say. granted the secrets he kept were from the cold war era, but the american government has more skeletons in the closet than people think. dont follow the news. if you want to know what is really going on over there, follow the servicemans blogs. it will make you sick. this country needs to wake up and realize that this isnt a democracy anymore. the govenment has the media in its pocket. they only broadcast what the government wants you to hear. remember waco? notice those black helicopters flying around the compound with no markings on them? those choppers were firing on american citizens. in other words, the taxpayers military resources were used against american citizens. the military that you pay for can be used against you. the reason there were no markings on those choppers is obvious. ability to deny involvement. helicopters dont fly themselves people. lets wake up and take our country back. f blackwater. we dont need them. thats just somebody else getting rich off of our tax dollars while most normal people cant even get health care. we need to focus on our own problems within instead of putting our men on the front line to liberate a third world country. i smell bullshit.
