What it sounds like you actually mean, pardon me if I'm reading into this, is you'd actually join if it became fashionable. I think that the fear and panic caused by 9-11 did in fact change the way we exist, and without some remedy, will only affect us more. I do not believe we are the same nation that existed on September 10th, nor will we ever be again.
Quite simply, I would like to see AH state that he is either about to join the military, or he is about to join the majority of our youth who expect some higher power to protect them from the big bad wolf. He keeps back-pedaling which only instigates me more. He could have simply said that he has no intention of fighting what he considers an unjust war, and I would be happy with that. However, he continues to posture and back-pedal instead. C'mon, AH, just admit that the American way of life is awesome if you don't have to do anything to receive it, and I'll leave you alone....
Otherwise, in the words of Jack in "A Few Good Men," (rough approximation) pick up a weapon, and stand a post, either way, I could give a rat's ***.
