would it be a bad thing?
I bet our prison system would have a fraction of the population.
and SJW would get a taste of real life
I think it would prove worse for our military to have worthless individuals in it’s ranks than the best of the best. It’s certainly not made better or more effective by drafting people who don’t want to be there. It’s a very professional force. It shouldn’t be a place to send people who’s parents and society failed them so that they can get their minds right. Too much to risk.

Thank you to all who served to protect what still is the greatest country in the world! We love you.

The sad part is that half of those women just took those photos for social media

Oh wow. I held it together until that one.
Becoming a dad of a little girl 7 years ago has made me a mess when it comes to daughters. I can't even watch "Armageddon" now because of the scene where Harry talks to his daughter from the asteroid.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:

The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Yep, started out to remember Confederate Veterans and was soon adopted by the Yanks.
Nope. The first Memorial Day was put on by freed slaves in Charleston in 1865 to honor the dead Union soldiers left in mass graves there.

The wind blows silent through solemn fields, ere the break of day,
Where crickets chirp a nocturne in these places war dead lay,
Endless rows of markers hewn from alabaster stone,
These testaments to honor, all the boys who don’t come home,
Brave men who picked the rifle up, set down their tool or plow,
To answer true their country’s call, only a mem’ry now,
Sometimes they fell on native soil, sometimes in foreign lands,
To gun or bomb or bayonet, their blood stained dirt and sand,
With courage and with duty did they face the weary end,
So those of us back home could remain with kith and kin,
Now bugles play a funeral dirge, o’er crosses, stars and stones,
And falling tears remind us of the boys who don’t come home,
They did not ask the reason that they made their sacrifice,
They did not ask the cost although, they surely paid the price,
Let their names not be forgotten, or their stories left untold,
Their memories should warm us though their blood has long grown cold,
For all we’ve built is stacked upon the mounds of revered dead,
It’s writ in eyes of brothers who are left here in their stead,
So give those that have paid the tab, wherever you may roam,
A toast, in gratitude, to all the boys who don’t come home.

A shame all its become is a long party weekend at the beach
I’m sorry but sitting around being all depressed on a day off of work every year is not my idea of a healthy use of my time. We can be thankful for sacrifices made by troops and have a good time at the same time.
