[T]he point is quite limited to those able-bodied persons who (1) support El Presidente’s Global War on Terra (i.e., the current debacle in Iraq), (2) piss their pants every time the authorities announce anything that looks even remotely like it might be terra-related (and which is almost invariably overblown b.s.), and yet (3) pointedly do not volunteer to serve in the military conflict that they constantly assure us is the most existential threat to the continued existence of Western civilization ever.

None of the above apply to me.

I also agree with you that we should be thankful that MOST of these folks end up shooting themselves in the dick…most of the time.
