 We have a lot of buttons that can be pushed that turn us off and on. The Army invested 5 years of training in me with infantry tactics. I know how to shoot, move and communicate. I have been taught to kill with everything from a AT-4 (antitank weapon) to a P-38 (can opener).
Serving in the military, learning the history of my unit, the men who were heros, and those who died left an impression. To them and all so many others who gave their lives for this country, first to become a nation, and later to protect its survival, the flag, this country, and its people mean a lot. To those who haven't served, you wouldn't have a clue.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
