You and what army?!!

Who runs the military these days? Does the military still uphold the racist practices of yesteryear? Would you consider joining the armed forces nowadays? Is there a need to anymore? Do you believe in fighting for the "freedoms" that this country protects? Do you have family of friends Iraq? Afghanistan? Worried about their safety? Do we really support our troops? Should we support even if we don't believe in their fight? We can't just let this one slip by? Do you feel that everyone should have military duty?
