799. I've been around a long long time.. I've thought these matters all my adult life.

I take deep offense to the condescending, patronizing tone and rhetoric, not to mention the lecture which I received more than my share growing up in the military, thank you very much.

My opposition to legalized slavery aka THE DRAFT, which you have the abhorant audacity to laugh at, is absolutely immoral at the very least.

When we decide as a nation to never again willingly engage in war fare, OTHER than in direct self-defense of our (50 state) nation against aggressors from other nations, is the only exception, if necessary to provide for an adequate defense. I would suspect that citizens would naturally engage in self-defense in or out of the military. That's if and when we finally shed ourselves of imperialistic policies which is too often manifested by dropping bombs or storm trooping through neighborhoods and nevermind collateral damage of innocent lives in sovereign nations throughout the world.

I'm done with this, you of course may have the last word.
