Unhappy Reserve Component.

When are the reserve component personnel in the country (some on the forum) going to get tired of having your service trashed by politicians? Don't you fear that their attitudes may carry over into office if they are elected?

Please don't cite changing times. The reason I enlisted in the Army was that I didn't want to be drafted and I would rather serve 3 and be done with it rather than the extended obligation of the Guard and Reserve. I stayed for 15 but that is beside the point.

Terry:

Not sure.

Did draft-dodging Klinton's "loathing" for the military carry over, will Kerry's anti-miliatry statements besmirching his fellow vets, or his consistent anit-military and anti-veteran votes as a Senator?

Time will tell.
