The comments about the military draft are interesting. I have long thought we should reinstate the draft to instill a sense of responsibility and obligation to to go along with the priveledge of being an American. The nation of Israel has an excellent model system to use as a model. Mandatory military at 18 two yrs for This includes those with physical and mental shortcomingsexemptions include criminal records and drug.It is is considereda disgrace not to allowed to servewomen 3yrs for menwith very few exemtions. mos is determined by psyh and physical examsand rated to determine your assigment.

Richard (Carp), we should have never done away with the draft. Our military is so weak we could not fight the Gnats out of our ass.

sorry about the name brother willie , my brothers name is willie also , you would think i would not get it wrong , o well i am 66 soon 67 .thank you all for your service and welcome home brothjers :super: :toast:

thank you willy i have and will continue to stand behind him . the people that are serving in this army are true Americans and to see our government treat them the way they do is totally wrong , we need to bring back the draft and just maybe these young people will keep there teeth and there money in there pockets and out of the pockets of our worst enemy , the drug dealers . if we would only kill a few of them the rest will run it may not sound good what i am saying , but it will work. just my thought . carp 67-68

Carp, your son done the right thing. Stand behind and support him.

John Hunt, you are right brother. Get on the list early, that way you don't to worry about it.

you are right totally right , it is my nephew that was wronged ,. i do have a son but like so many he did not serve .and he don't do drugs , hes a dad and seems that is more imported to him then drugs or the service , i stand behind his decision 100% , he has seen what the army did to his dad , later brothers carp :super:

i hope its not true.but we have one person to thank.FOR ALL SH**.THAT GOING ON IN TODAYS MILITARY.I REMENBER WHEN THE MILITARY TOOK CARE OF ITS OWN.SORRY FOR YOUR SON DONT GIVE UP.TAKE CARE RICHARD.CECIL

Cecil your a very lucky guy to have 3 sons so brave as to fallow there dads foot steps. i was talking to my nephew and he had 2 months left in the army after serving over seas he was booted our for a drummed up reason that should have been handled in the service , i am so mad that our government would do that to so many young people after they joined to fight for America , he now has no v a benefits just like the other 10s of thousands of young vets , wow how bad does that suck , they would use up our young people and then kick them to the curb , we need to kick these so called Americans out of office and put these young American vets in there place , i am so upset over the very idea they can do this and no one is fighting for these young people that have done the right thing by serving , wow , if i was a young person wanting to serve but knowing what the government is going to do to me i would never ever raise my right hand for those kinds of people , we need to find out why and how

589th Brothers,
If you want something to look forward to next year, then register for the reunion. 11 of us have already registered.If you don't come, you sure will miss a good time.

hello brothers , i was talking with 2 young guys the other day and they ask me if i was in the army and i said yes , then they ask if i was drafted and i said no i joined the army, then they said we are lucky we don't have to serve if we don't want to , all i could do was look down in wonder , why would you not want to serve ??? and then it came to me , these 2 young men had no teeth, i don't know know why , i suppose it is meth , wow what is ever going to become of our country , seems every one wants free stuff and no one wants to earn it , i have a neighbor that draws 68 dollars a month SS and a Mexican friend of mine draws 600.00 sssi the difference between them is the low dollar guy worked and my Mexican friend had 1 job for 2 weeks 40 years ago and gets 600.00 a month , i wonder why does this Mexican guy get so much when the tax payer does not ???????? gee i wish the draft was back , sorry brothers this is just the way i see it , thank all of you for your service carp :smash:

Perry, my Brother, you got it right. I agree with you.
