On Military Public Schools

Our tax money should go to the defense and improvement of our nation; health care and housing for the poor, construction and maintenance of our infrastructure, and a standing military. I vehemently oppose any taxpayer funding for religious schools, but financing of the military is a big reason why we pay taxes.

While I'm skeptical of their intentions with these kids, and I'm skeptical of military intrusion into private life, I don't really have an issue with people who want to go to military schools, even at 14 years old.

Tour #5

My response to him would be suck it up and go, it'll be over in a year and then you can dedicate all your time to fighting this from ever happening again.

Nevertheless, it must be said, a person who is forced to serve FIVE tours...that's just plain ridiculous. We can't keep living this charade that we can fight these wars with the military we have.
