Living during a volunteer army period or during extended periods of peace, has altered how people view our armed forces. We still need patriots and they deserve to be given their due respect. However, isn't it weird that our country respected more the drafted military than the volunteer one which we have now? They didn't have a choice of whether to fight or not, but they received their just respect and accolades. Now, the volunteer army is treated for the most part as outcasts of society. Shouldn't it be conceivable to think that someone who VOLUNTEERS to give their life for their country should receive a little more respect than what they are receiving? Just a thought.

I think you have brought our attention back to the basic, where our minds hardly ever travel any more. Our country does need to bring back patriotism for I believe our county needs people who truly are serving our country because they believe they can make a difference in the future of our country. I commend them on their bravery and their efforts to keep our country free. This is a good article.
