We can both play this game. McCain is a fuedalist because of all of his fuedalist policies. Would you care to discuss which policies you're referring to?

Would it be better if they were paid far less than the market rate, like our military vs. Blackwater?

You started off being disingenous and with a misleading title. Claiming Obama's plan for defence = people working for free is misleading. End of story. Moving on to your next misleading thread.

When they say volunteer, do they mean "call me if you need me and I'll come if I can" or is it volunteer as in "sign here and for the next 5 years you are ours any time and any place we want you and it's jail time if you don't show up"?

I'd be happy to sign up to serve my country if the time comes when I feel it needs the service of patriots and not just fodder for corporatist expansion. I'll sign up if I can choose whether or not to come when they call.

Bull****. You made that idiotic leap and its typical of obama supporters to zero in on anything to avoid honest discussion on obama. It is rather pathetic my friend.

Re: Obama's plan for "defense" you work for free

The volunteer spirit in this nation has been hijacked by greed and narcissism.

IMO it would be great to have a corp of volunteers who would respond when called upon to serve their nation and it's peoples. Brings back to me Kennedy's challenge to all American's to "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.". Lovin' it.

Kennedy created the Peace Corps after this. Still alive and breathing.

I absolutely would volunteer if the necessity arose. I believe it's part of my civic duty but then I also heard Kennedy make this statement and believed in it then as I do now and find Obama's idea similar. Ah...I guess I just get sentimental in my oldish-ness...

Yup that's the only one. And ask anyone who is in it. residents in foreign countries all think your CIA.


How many of these groups do we need?



And here is a thought. Something happens go there yourself. Why do you need the government to be your impetus?
