So why would a hollywood liberal have a problem with a government organization that actually HELPS young men find careers and get an education?</I><BR/><BR/>Because the military is the antithesis of what liberals value, and since it doesn't create a cycle of dependency and entitlement (like many liberal social programs), it's not good. And if you're not poor, you're simply a burgeois pig Republican war-monger.<BR/><BR/>There is no respect for our troops from the left, no matter how much they whine "Support the troops, not the war".<BR/><BR/>I vote we drop Belzer in the middle of Baghdad and then we'll see who knows more about war.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913350782739004678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-1143026707248657722006-03-22T06:25:00.000-05:002006-03-22T06:25:00.000-05:00yes, the majority of men who enter the armed force...<I>yes, the majority of men who enter the armed forces do so because they are poor and lack opportunities. </I><BR/><BR/>Confessionator, I must ask... who gave you that information? I most certainly is incorrect. Personally, I come from a middle-class suburban home, and I joined the Marine Corps because *gasp* I wanted to serve my country. <BR/><BR/>I can't speak for the other branches of the Armed Forces, but the demographics for the Marines are roughly the same for the nation overall. <BR/><BR/>Some are dirt poor... some are from very well to do families. The <I>vast</I> majority falls someplace inbetween the two. <BR/><BR/>And I'm not trying to be sarcastic, Confessionator... but do you know anyone in the Armed Forces?Kevin Whitemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019976622801954677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-1142994040254238412006-03-21T21:20:00.000-05:002006-03-21T21:20:00.000-05:00Confessionator,Thanks for supporting our troops, b...Confessionator,<BR/>Thanks for supporting our troops, but, sorry, I have to disagree with you that the reason most men enter the military is because they're poor and lack opportunites. Certainly there are a great number that do. However, look at all the Reserves and National Guard that are in Iraq. Most of these are small businessmen or hold some kind of job which they left to serve their country. Many are college educated. Where I work, at least a dozen Marine Reserves officers were called up (all with college degrees) and, as you may not know, someone can't be an officer in the Marine Reserves without first having been a regular Marine officer. The point being they were neither poor nor lacking opportunities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-1142980243039379692006-03-21T17:30:00.000-05:002006-03-21T17:30:00.000-05:00I just explained to a Bulgarian student today that...I just explained to a Bulgarian student today that there are Americans who are EMBARRASSED to be American. (This after an American student mocked her for "wanting to look like a stupid American tourist" because she wants some T-shirts to take home with her.) She was a little shocked because she, of course, is proud to be Bulgarian. Her country also just decided to continue their presence in Iraq, but luckily her fellow students are too ignorant to realize that it's not just Americans over there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-1142977414295117242006-03-21T16:43:00.000-05:002006-03-21T16:43:00.000-05:00This is a problem in our culture, celebrities seem...This is a problem in our culture, celebrities seem to have a more important and valid opinion than you or me.
