 This is not the military they are talking about. This is everyday people who have skills that can be used to help in the nation-building, desk jobs, PR jobs, all that sort of thing. An over-50 overweight person most certainly could do these things, clerical, educational.  In my neighborhood a 52-year-old national guard guy got called up for MILITARY duty so why would they not expect 50-somethings to lend whatever their professional abilities might be to lend a hand in desk job sort of work. 

 Am I going???? Are you nuts???

Of course not. I have fought against our occupation of Iraq from 2002 to this present day. I did not vote for Bush. I am just saying those of you that did, and those of you who just pretend everything is okay, this is your chance to show your true colors. I mean, after all, you are with the president or you're not (so he says). 

We are not rebuilding anything in Iraq. They are on the verge of civil war. They can't put a constitution together and who in their right minds would expect them to be able to. You don't go from years of a monarchy to democracy overnight...and they are ending up with an Islamic government, sort of like...The Taliban!

Two simple questions.

What did my ______ die?

Are the Bush supporters, those who voted for him, are you going to join the civilian corps to support the cause you believe in?

Below is copied directly from the link.  It doesn't talk about punishment of any kind for those who don't wish to participate.  It DOES talk about rewards, though, for those who do wish to participate.  It offers a choice.  You don't have to participate in it if you're rich and can afford to send your kids to college, but why do you want to deny those who can't the opportunity to do so?

You're filling this board with fiction and calling it truth.  THIS is the TRUE message of the link:

"Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free."

just last month, Rendel was crying the blues about not having enough $$ to keep the state running, so took all this bailout money. He is doing a double duty bailout by following what O is doing and Rendel duplicates O's programs. He should be run out on a rail and thank heavens, this is his last term.

Tea Party in Harrisburg on April 15.

All radicals and let me spell this out........supporters of both candidates, who pass on garbage as fact, can't see past the end of their collective noses and will say anything no matter how far fetched to see their candidate elected are the ones who will incite violence.

I participate in many forums, all with the same tone as this one, including a forum hosted by our local television station.  All seem to be dominated by incoherent people who believe anything they hear or read.  ALL of these people who participate in violence-producing negativity will have the blood of any candidate on their hands who MAY well be assassinated by some kook who takes all this rhetoric to heart.  I think even John McCain may have realized what his campaign was doing to incite violence when he turned away from the little old lady and said, "Obama is a good man, a family man, you don't need to fear him," he looked very sad.  I still believe that NEITHER candidate is the man for the job and I stand by that but Mc did gain some respect from me when he said that to that little old lady.  Poor woman, she was obviously scared out of her wits.

STILL DOING A WRITE-IN VOTE FOR LOU DOBBS!!!!

you took my concern of not wanting porn viewable in public libraries to me wanting government to control my kids.  Are you kidding me?  There is a huge difference between me monitoring my kids at home and my kid going to the public library and seeing some pervert looking at obscene sites. 

Would you be allowed to have sex in the middle of the library?  Of course not.  So why should porn be accessible in a public library where children might see it.  I will take care of what my kids view at home, but I get so sick and tired of them being objected to obscene things out in public.

You have totally twisted this whole thing.

It's possible for Democrats/Independents to be objective and dislike/mock those who prove themselves to be deserving to those reactions.

Your question implies that you know JTBB sooooooooooooo very well that anything not fitting into your negative "knowledge" of her causes you to -- I don't know -- was it a question, an insult or both?

There are so many of us out here struggling to make ends meet, put food on the table for our families and they are going out on a date at our expense?  I did not vote for O, I am neither a republican or a democrat, but I have encouraged every one I know to support him and give him a chance.  However, it seems that the more that I now try to encourage myself to support him, the more stupid things that he does.  Let's forget about the date and talk about the trip to Los Angeles to raise money for Harry Reid.  He took Air Force One, which by itself costs an unbelievable amount of money to just get ready to fly, hundreds of thousands of dollars, then you add in what it costs to get in the air.  I completely understand that this is something that has been done by both parties in the past but when you stand before the cameras and ask every last person in America to sacrifice and then you go out and do things that are costing these same people even more money, I believe that it is completely appropriate to be angry as heck.  Then I saw on CNN where the question was posed "is the $400,000 salary of the President of the United States adequate, should it be more."  Well let's see, he travels at our expense, he has a roof over his head with no expenses whatsoever, food is on the table at no expense to him, he has a beautiful place to escape to for long weekends, again at no expense to him, so do I think that $400,000 is appropriate?  You are dang right I think that it is appropriate.  

This is an administration who preached about transparency during the election and, in my opinion, so far, they have been far from transparent.  Even though I did not vote for him I truly hoped (and still hope) that he would make things better for all of us and so far I personally do not see that happening.
