Chicks Dig It

There is a new Harris Poll out that shows the Military is still the most-admired U.S. institution. No surprise there. But there's also another news story today that the Military is being picky about who they want to recruit. The headline reads "Military Shuns Many of Recruiting Age.” This story is nothing new to people who pay attention. The Marines have always said they were looking for "a few good men,” not a bunch of lazy punks or drugged up whiners. So why the news story? Why use the word 'shuns' in the headline? Do I see a lawsuit from the ACLU looming in the future? They sued the Boy scouts to try and let pedophiles stay in as scout leaders. Are there some chubby couch potatoes out there who want to graduate from Nintendo and play with real guns to impress the girls? Not too long ago some people were worried that our evil leader was going to reinstate the draft. Are they now feeling like that geeky kid who never gets picked for the team? I don't remember anybody ever having the call sign "Wheezer" painted on the side of his fighter jet. Remember the saying, "No Guts, No Glory.” Nobody ever said Glory was one of your rights. Glory, like respect, has to be earned. You want to get some?... Then go get your ass in shape, clean up your act, go out and find a recruiter and sign up to serve your country. Glory, just like Freedom, is never Free.
