I didn't say I was anti-Bush, anti-war or anti-anything else .... stop dumping me into your liberal bucket .... I'm a friggin' vet also so I've done my time with protect and serve ....You're a lunatic if you believe all those kids joined because they love their country ... I am mentoring a kid that did it strictly for the education ... don't assume that you know anything about me or how I believe about patriotism or freedom!!! Okay so you want to re-up but they won't take you well put your proverbial money where your mouth is and go do volunteer work at a VA hospital ....
