    I wish we could take all these shit talking politicians and draft them into active duty. They’d find out real fucking quick who the weak ones truly are, if they even survive long enough for their two brain cells to make that connection.

      Maybe Heinlein was on to something. In the book the only way to be President was to have a career in both the main divisions of their military and the only way to hold any office was to hold a position in at least one.

      I say this as a person who never served. So this wouldn’t even really benefit me directly. Indirectly I would know that the people who rule us had at least once in their life not only do something for someone else but had a shit time of it
