On the topic, more proof that the right marches in lockstep.

Most people that VOLUNTEER could be considered Conservative, from a historical POV, and that would include both the Regular and NG solder, regardless of the Branch of Service.
Where you'd get the winers and crybabys would be from a "Selective Service" style of constription, like the draft.
A "watering down of the product" if you would be inclined to say.
I would perfer to serve in a "volunteer" military vs. a constripted one.
Regardless, any person willing to put aside their own personal safety and comfort to defend the lot of us all, regardless how WE treat, or respect, them, deserves no less than the best we have to offer them. And we should do no less than to be sure our Representatives, whether they be Democrats, Republicans or Independants, give each and every veteran what they are due and without tons of red tape and BS to wade through.
