Gun owners aren't the two-dimensional rednecks the author implies; for the most art they're smart, canny and quite independent. They didn't trade their brains in for their weapons.
    Unfortunately some of todays "Volunteer" army is composed of kids who want to go to college and not pay for it. I heard it many a time during the last presidents term[s] BUT, BUT i signed up so i could go to college, not go to war.

    UM yeah what exactly do you think the .mil does. WELL................... i didn't think it would happen while i was in

    I had plenty of those types in my flight when I was going through Basic. I'd never heard of or met any malingerers until I joined up. Contemptible idiots.
