Wow, you sure cover a lot of ground. The current President's behavior and performance stands on its own. All I see is a betrayal to the people that voted for him. He is a Con Man as we all said last year. That is be shown every day.  It has nothing to do with "losing"; the Country is losing right now. As for myself, I turned 18 the year the draft was eliminated for the Vietnam War. I spent a year building houses in Appalachia and another year at an inner Youth Center, both with little or no pay. I did not serve in the Military if that is what you are asking. I respect those that do, obviously, but there various ways to serve our Country. I am all for that, and believe it should be compulsory after High School.
