[i] I just finished reading Starship Troopers again by Robert A. Heinlein. Every time I do, I can't help but find myself in agreement with Mr. Heinlein's political views. I look at this country we live in and every day hear and see people wanting the trappings of our nation but not the cost at which those trappings come.

Anyone?

I'm irriterite and can't read but what you wrote makes me want to learn how to read.

I would love for that idealism to happen but in reality we reside within a nation of spineless politicians whom have their noses buried up Wall Street's ass and want's to be as politically correct as possible 24/7.

mocking you I would never do such a thing. Actually, I haven't read a book in ages and this might actually get me to do so. As for criminals serving in the military. It's not a very good idea, criminals will have a much greater potential to do more harm then good. They're more likely to desert, turn-sides, and commit immoral acts during times of war or peace. I believe there was a study that showed during the Vietnam war a large percentage of deserters and serious military infractions was done by soldiers with a large criminal past. Their mentality and moral values aren't high as it is. Sure they make good killing-machines and cannon fodder, but at what price to the overall morale and image of the military unit/branch they serve in?

I've read too many books which was butchered by hollywood. Even Dr. Seuss was butchered. But I take it with a grain of salt usually and just soak up the eye candy that hokeywood usually makes up for.

I picked my nose once and passed out. I guess I should have picked it more?
