post a commentHave you ever heard the term "volunteer army"?
I most certainly have. In fact I served in one. But what is unconscionable about the so-called "volunteer" army being used right now in Iraq and Afghanistan is the fact they are NOT general enlistees.......what the ARE are young men and women who joing the National Guard Service many of them whether you choose to believe it or not, who were told there was "no chance" of them being sent to Iraq. Furthermore,so that the military doesn't have to intitute a draft, and therefore face the wrath of the people for doing so, these people are being sent back to Iraq two and three times when their time of service is supposed to be completed.
This is NOT a volunteer army.
