that's a rediculous statement, you think every guy over in iraq right now got into the military to defend the country? Hell, a lot of them are guard and reserve guys who got in to pay for school, or learn a trade, these people were only willing to do it on their own terms, and look where they're at now, so shut your mouth and stop typing. I'd rather have someone be a fighter pilot whose sole motivation was to fly that way he'll work his ass off to be the best dammed fighter pilot he can and score as many splashes as he can. if being a zipper suited sun god is all the guy wants to do, then support him in that
