They joined of their own free will whether it was because of the excellent educational benefits or a guaranteed Job medical benefits or whatever. They joined and swore to defend their country. I can understand people who Are not in the armed forces but who Are of draft age applying for co status they have made no promises to their country and arc therefore under no obligations to serve. But these pie should make their objections to War now before they get drafted and should definitely not join up if they Are not willing to serve and fulfil their oath. A Karl j. Chase or.

Marine 1 have personally experienced the air conditioning on ship several times. I enjoyed it ref sch More than the Sun and Sand of the desert. If the writer from England did no to know about the rivalry that has always existed sailors on ship and the troops on the ground please let him know that its been around longer than either him or i.
