An aside about Ron Paul: too many of his supporters--I don't mean the people here--are young people who like getting high and have no interest in serving in the military. It's not about idealism, it's about me-first. Unfortunately, that kind of escapism, while certainly reflecting the peace and prosperity bubble of the last half-century that most younger people have enjoyed, doesn't conform well with what lies ahead.
So you are saying that young people, who are overwhelmingly those who are expected to fight, are not happy about serving in a military where military service is synonymous not with defending their homeland but with treking around splodystan causing carnage, creating enemies, and protecting interests of megacorporation and not necessarily the States' interests, for a Federal government which will jail them for using their drug of choice, and which steals their wealth, uses it to finance these wars, and gives a roughly equal amount of it to old people who don't even have to fight in the military, and that this ridiculous pro-freedom, pro-American, indeed,
pro-self-preservation position accounts for their support of Ron Paul?
Yeah, I would say that's about right.
