We have a professional all volunteer military, you can't "sign up" your children.

I spent six years defending my country in the USAF. If they would take me, I would volunteer again in a heatbeat (too damn old). If my son wanted to join the military (he's only 8) when he comes of age, I would not stop him.

The war in vietnam was lost in the press through the actions of people like Uncle Walter. Don't believe me? Read a history of the Tet offensive and compare reality against how it was potrayed in the press.

Sitting around in the Northwoods wearing Birkenstocks, singing "Kum-by-ya" while making smores and smoking a couple of j's isn't going to cut it in the new reality.
