I recently visited my wife's fathers grave with her. I counted 3 markers with the star of Islam while we were on the way back to the car.
Let's not forget the "hippies" that didn't flee to Canada that were killed. They didn't volunteer but they did their duty.

Yes, there are exceptions to any statement. Exceptions do not make the norm. Kind of hard to count the graves of conservatives, isn't it? And yes, I believe in a conscript or draft program. I think all should participate and NONE should be exempt for other than physical inability. As a matter of fact, I believe there should be a Constitutional amendment that stipulates a mandatory prerequisite that all persons wishing to represent us as politicians must have military experience on their resume'. If they wish to be the Commander-in-Chief then they ought to know what that consists of. If they are going to send anyone into battle, they should know what it is like to be a uniform member.
If you are criticizing my apathy for the plight of hippies, liberals or those that take advantage of the efforts of others, that's your prerogative. Otherwise, I have no idea why a Muslim grave marker or a drafted hippy has to do with my comment.
