K,
I'd be surprised if people nowadays would fight off others on our home ground.

Don't worry, chairforce, I served my country with distinction. I'd put my DD-214 list of commendations/medals up against yours any day of the week. By the way, what did you get on your last PT test?

I'm not here to impress you. Yep I guessed right, you don't know anything about AFSOC or its mission. Do you know what it stands for? Guess you don't know about Para Rescue or the Combat Controllers. I hope you do. I've worked in the command. I know what they do. When did you get out? I'm living in it your not any more, you lost your edge. I don't need to be smug, I speak the truth about you. Your a bigot, plain and simple, I don't blame you though, you learned your behaviour through peers, I understand.
Medals? Commendations? I have earned quite a bit in recent years but, these don't matter, its the heart that counts. I know of countless people that deserved metals but didn't get anything, these people are humble individuals that don't need such trinkets, they know they are keeping this country safe.

If you knew more about the USAF you'd know we have a new fitness programme. I want to know if you know what it is. I want to see how current you are before I tell you.

Can you speak for everyone saying they'd fight for the home land? No you can't.

You know what? You have nothing intelligent to add to this thread. So, please, quit wasting our time.

has anyone considered the fact that this thing is coming up as pressure on Iran/Syria/NK is beefing up? It would seem to me we can call this shot. A shot in the dark, but my guess is they're gonna let this go through, so they can get more troops for these upcoming wars??

Right on Grommer, they need to draft more troops for more wars in the name of Freedom while they take our freedoms at home. On the subject on the draft, didn't they notice how well it went over the first time?

These NEO CONS don't care. Remember how they so casually brushed aside the HUGE unprecedented opposition to the war?:
Chapter 12 National defence
Section 127 National defence obligation
(1) Every Finnish citizen is obligated to participate or assist in national defence, as provided by an Act.
(2) Provisions on the right to exemption, on grounds of conscience, from participation in military national defence are laid down by an Act.

A snippet from the Finnish constitution:

(1) Every Finnish citizen is obligated to participate or assist in national defence, as provided by an Act.
(2) Provisions on the right to exemption, on grounds of conscience, from participation in military national defence are laid down by an Act.
In other words, every Finnish man has to undergo atleast 6 months of military service, or alternatively 13 months of civil service. It's not that bad, actually . My military service starts in January 2004.
Of course there is huge difference between the US and Finland. I bet that Finland would have a volunteer based army if we had 280 million people instead of 5 million .
