Al, I was totally in favor of normalized relations with Cuba. Still am... and was looking forward to a visit to their many rolling factories. That embargo has helped nobody.

Really a shame that more have not had or taken the opportunity to serve their country. More serving would not mean a country full of conservatives, but rather more American’s who appreciate those freedoms and rights taken for granted by so many. When one serves one comes to understand the meaning of sacrifice for others and country.

I agree....and my headstrong libertarian side wrestles with the fact that I'd be ok with some sort of compulsory service --- wouldn't have to be military necessarily, but could alternatively be some sort of domestic 'Peace Corps-like' service -- maybe 2 years that must start between 18-20...I might even allow LDS'ers to count their missions as checking the box...maybe

Frank and David,

I was not saying that everyone should serve but come to think of it probably not a bad idea. Seriously, I have been around the block enough times to know there are many, many individuals that did not serve that do have a grasp on what our liberties and rights mean and cost but many do not.

Was not casting stones at anyone individual, just making an opinionated statement.
