I always get a wee thrill hearing from and about veterans. Walking the walk. Never wonder why women like men in uniforms. I have not seen anyone say they would not go if a war came to our shores. Methinks the men would be fighting their own women for the weapons, in that case :-)

Yes! Yes! Yes!! I would definitely go, PROVIDED: 5. I would be declared a National War Hero Monument after coming home..

Chloe I sense you are itching to pull the trigger :-) JERMANICUS..do you think courage can be learned? Bravalady, deskjob :-) john, we are free to trust whom we like. Ghostrider, if they let you take your bike? Harmony, what an excellent scale by which to measure. It seems the compensation part is much less important than..the cause and the need. Hell yeah.. A few years ago I was mad to join the Army. Sadly the height restriction prevented me, and I don't think I'm going to grow much in 5 months seeing as 24 is the age limit for new recruits. It's different over here though the Irish do a lot of peace keeping overseas, not like the American troops heading off to Iraq or Afghanistan. Now that would be a whole different ball game, don't know if I would be able for all that.

Let's say your country needs you, war is imminent. They have dropped ALL restrictions in the Military. No age, height, weight, sexual orientation, male/female or religious strictures. AND, you have no job in a poor economy. They offer beaucoup benefits. Stratospheric salary, vacations, and a 2 year sign-up. Would you go? Sure, I most likely would not be in the infantry.

Im still ready, I spent 4 years in the US army 1969 to 1973 and 30 years in the Israeli army 1976 to 2006. If I had it to do over again, Id do it over again.

I had not thought about the Irish mostly peacekeeping. Dangerous work. And you're too short! Don't they know this makes your trigger finger sturdier?

Soufiehere... did you do that war monument on me? it's... it's... breath taking... and I don't mind saying so myself. It's hilarious. Thank you. I think you captured my spirit, personality and essence well. I don't know those other four dudies that well, but they seem like cool guys and real rockers. I'm sure I'll get along with them for the rest of eternity. Looks like a rather reticent bunch, but hey, more having the floor for myself. I'll use all my dead pan jokes on them, they must be a good audience for those. They like getting stoned, too, from the looks of it, and anyone with that laid back and relaxed an attitude is a cool dude in my books. ------ This was fantastic, soufie. Thank you.

I am not sure it quite captures you, but the setting seems right :-) If you ever get carved in stone like me here... to sit there, stoney faced, for the rest of eternity, not being able to move a muscle, and not being able to move... I would call it "captured". Even more so than "men" in "women". At least there is some wriggle room for "men" around inside "women". (there is a thread out there here somewhere, that's what I am referring to.) At any rate, it was sweet and grand of you to this. I am a bit moved, actually. And my smile is immortalized. Maybe that's a better word than "captured"? becAuse it's not so defeatist. Enemy soldiers are captured. Great poets get immortalized. Hm. Flesh to think about.

He said how he very much liked her perfume. A clean, refreshing smell. She replied, "Yes, Shawn is really into good oral hygiene. He is a Scope addict, almost."
