As many of you know, a couple of years ago I sold my chain of medical equipment and supply stores and returned to college. While I attend a university, this semester I decided to do some tutoring at a local community college. I've been tutoring there for a week now and I am shocked by the number of young men and women I am seeing in wheelchairs. I have counted twenty so far. Most of them appear to be casualties from the Iraq/Afghanistan wars. I say this because almost all of them use their military rucksacks as their book bags. Now that I think about it, there are quite a few young people in wheelchairs at the university as well. I guess it didn't stand out as much though because there are 25000 students at the university compared with the one or two thousand at the community college. What a sad waste.

Unless you are 65 or over, you could well have a "commitment" that is there but unseen.

no... I'm with you, however I have seen otherwise. I have said this before here on the 4um. Unless you have seen men dragged from their homes in irons because they refused their "commitment" by the military, then there is much to be learned. Witness dozens of men that dared dissent, in irons, all chained together, being dragged off to the battlefield, it is very enlightening. I can see it all very clearly in my minds eye, as if it were yesterday. And it was decades ago and far away. Government is always in chaerge of the boundary lines, to be moved at their whim.Once you are inside the field of play, you are fair game.

I'm very glad that any commitments that I had are over.
