[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3864729, member: 58386"] No it is not. Here's why. When I was senior in high school they sat down my entire senior class and made us take this so called "Armed Services Test" with so called recruiters standing there. We were given NO CHOICE as to whether or not we even wanted to take it Ask them a question about making an enlistment deal, they're answer? "You can be drafted". Yes, they held all the cards but I wasn't about to get myself killed for no other reason than to help guard the [B]DEFEATED[/B] US military's [B]RETREAT[/B] from Vietnam. A war that history has proven conclusively to have been lost the moment we took it over from the French. You see, I was the last year of the draft lottery. When I pulled out a 204 lottery you should have heard the complete change in attitude on the part of their so called "recruiters" . They didn't have a clue as to how to strike a deal on someone they wanted. It was amusing to hear them try to do something they had no clue as to how to do because now [B]I[/B] was holding all the cards. My response to their overtures was one of the 7 words the FCC has banned from the airwaves. The primary task of the US armed forces is and always will be the defense of the nation through force of arms and despite whatever technological gains in the field of warfare are made there will always be a battlefield and the kids who will be there will be the ones who came from nothing had nothing and in the eyes of the nation's elite will amount to nothing..... and therefore are not to be valued as highly as the rich man's kid.
