I did not want it when I was 19 during Nam. My number was 324, but I "joined" the Navy. My only point was if we are losing soldiers in GOP wars for greed faster than they are replaced, and there are 5-7 wars going on, somebody will need to man the weapons the Industrial Military Complex are raking in trillions for. One damn thing for sure, my generation had no right to vote, and were being sent to die, we fucking sure faught to get that right to vote and......we fucking sure voted. These younger adults need to take that right, and be aware, if not, these war hungry GOP non serving Hawks, will have no problem sending them to die, while already taking the right to vote away.
