For what it’s worth...
I am aware of a young man and a young woman, high school friends, who intended to enlist in the armed services when they came of age. Both are now in college, yet each intends to, if necessary, interrupt their educations and enlist at the end of wh**ever semester they are in when the present President is no longer in office. They are thankful that a Draft Act cannot force them to serve under such a “Commander in Chief”.
Food for thought if one is dismissive of the thoughtful opinions and patriotism of our youth.

I tried taking a picture of that and it came out very blurred. What does that have to do with Photography

That's why it is in this category: General Chit-Chat (
non-photography talk)

This belongs in the Attic section.
You and your friends are NOT patriots. You are socialists.
AH, the ignorance of youth. Tell them to finish college, enroll in OCS and make a contribution to the service of their choice. They only have five more years to finish college.
Don't think the post is "worth" much, if anything.

Before this gets assigned to the attic, one question:
How does one get from willingness to serve the country, but not under a specific commander-in-chief, with being a Socialist?

They have considered that. One, now a registered Republican from a Republican Party family, is pursuing law school, the other, a registered Democrat from a Democratic Party family, is in pre med...are now in different universities, but both are committed to serving starting at “ground zero” as enlistees.
I agree that there are valid points of argument on both sides, but I do admire their rational, independent, considered perspectives in this uniquely unfortunate and aberrant period in American history, and greatly admire the personal commitment of each. They are, and will always be (IMO) the sorts of Americans that America needs.
Just my considered opinion, as each is entitled to theirs.

my bad will delete my negatives
True Americans will serve under which ever commander in chief is in office. Regardless of how mislead they may be. Ask any Vietnam Vet.

No Vietnam Vet served under a criminal. Times have changed.
