Quite frankly I'm amazed we achieve any kind of "superiority". My son-in-law deployed for Afghanistan 4 weeks ago. When he got in country he found that they did not have enough firearms to give him one. He was in country, in harms way, unarmed until they could locate an "extra" M-16 for him. With the money our President is throwing at every other pet project he could at least arm our troops whom he promised to remove. Country is going to hell in a handbasket...among the things I'm thankful for is the fact that I'm getting old and a lot of the Mickey-Mouse BS is behind me. I served from '72 to '80, the last time we lost a lot of young boys for no reason. I was hoping I'd never live to see it again and here we are. Bring back the draft and voters will pay a lot more attention to what is going on when they have a vested interest. I know I'm a mess but I don't blame the Army.....I place the blame where it should go.....marriage!
