If the GOP gets the control it wants then this country would not be a country worth serving. And the youth should boycott serving in the military. That is because as a Vietnam veteran I know the GOP for sure will abandon you even though you are bloodied or die in their unnecessary wars. Scott Walker says Romney should adopt the Ryan budget which would cut billions for veteran's care. Why do I say this it is because I saw how many Vietnam veterans were abandoned to the free market. I saw how many Vietnam veterans were homeless when I worked at a homeless shelter for four years, when the GOP took control. I now see how many recent and present veterans who serve and served are being treated. They have no jobs because GOP saboteurs are stopping economic recovery so they can suck the you know what of their billionaire Johns.
Now our recent veterans are being abandoned as well. Bush and the GOP wanted to privatize or profitize the VA by turning it over to private insurance companies. Romney supports free market or faith based care for our amputees and permanently brain injured vets. Bush and company even considered turning our MASH units over to companies like Halliburton to save money. That way triage on what wounded to save would be based on profit and the bottom line.
Scott Walker and the people who voted for him represent the worst in American values. These voters are not real Americans and are nothing but mean spirited racists and bigots. I hold nothing but complete contempt for GOP maggots and pond scum. And if you are feeling insulted you should. I spit on you and I revile you. If the enemy ever comes when the GOP is in control I will walk away. That is because the GOP and these billionaires are no better than the terrorists. In fact the GOP is a racist, bigoted, hateful and despicable party not worth dung. And the people who vote for them are no better. I do not care if a Republican suffers tragedy. Karma is a B.
So youth of America serve in the military at your own risk because once you have given your time all you are worth is selling pencils or poppies on the street. Remember history the GOP murdered WWI vets on the streets of Washington only because they wanted their bonus to eat. For their service all they got was guns and tanks in their face. The GOP was against the original GI Bill after WWII. Yet they wave the flag and push phony patriotism. Youth ask yourself if it is willing to give your life for the freedom of billionaires to rape the working class in this country with impunity? And if you are a Republican you are in idiot and a fool.
GD Scott Walker, his allies and all the dumb ass voters who kept him in office. I hope you Republicans all go to H. Screw you, and screw your families.

(31,011 posts)For some, regardless of the bad they still love the US and want to put on a uniform.
For a lot of service members, it's about a job with benefits and a college education. That usually wins out over anything else.
I agree with you. Sad times indeed.
America was going forward since 1/20/09...and now...blah.

(58,349 posts)Democrats need to be in all positions of power or you will indeed be ceding the nation over to the Republicans.
The Walker voters are "real Americans" as "real Americans" run the gamut from good to evil, smart to stupid, informed to ignorant, enlightened to racist, selfless to selfish, whether we wish to claim them or not.
A country run by the GOP is all that much more reason to serve the nation if for no other reason to change it.
Thanks for the thread, TheMastersNemesis.
