Though I agree with some of the things you stated about the media dropping volunteer rates, almost the entire third chapter is false.. I must ask you, do you plan on volunteering when you're of age? I am currently leaning towards becoming a MP officer and then joining federal law enforcement later in life.
Even if you do say yes, I am volunteering, think of it this way. I'm a 17 year old kid being told I might be forced to go to a war that I absolutely don't believe in. Well golly gee, maybe I had a life planned out? You cant force people to do something they wont believe in, and frankly our army doesn't need people like that. I know tons of people with that same mentality and I totally support them, even though I have a good chance of doing the opposite and joining up.
Also, the big reason so many people joined up for WW1 and 2 was because it was keeping out nation safe. People wanted to go to Afghanistan because they had just taken a hit at us and we felt unsafe, but people DON'T wanna go to Iraq because they did nothing to threaten us. Don't get the two confused.
Also, also. The Twin Towers compared nothing to pearl harbor, or about 10 other WW2 battles so idk what you mean by that.. It was awful, don't get me wrong, but we had been through much, much worse. I understand that many lived were lost but it compares nothing to some of the other things that have happened. Bush isn't a bad man, hes really, honestly trying to run this country top notch. Its just very difficult and he hasn't been quite up to take. his vision isn't the same as most of the country right now, which ISN'T necessarily a bad thing, but in a time of war we all need to be on the same page. As long as Bush is in office we need to support him about the war effort, but NOT NOT NOT NOT about things that he has done recently that are absolutely unconstitutional... but we have the Supreme Court to fix that when the time comes.
