Wow, that was twisted in a lot of ways.

What the article doesn't seem to address is that we have a volunteer army- people that want to serve our country usually join and do just that. If the tepid leadership seems to put a kibosh on that, enforcing the Selective Service to go overseas and fight is a nightmare of epic proportions. 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.
