I think your friend has accepted Bill Clinton's twisted definition of "professional".

  Actually my friend cannot take credit for this statement it was made by Dr Jack Devere Minzey Head of the Department of Education of Eastern Michigan University (now deceased). He was also a prolific author. These thoughts were his.

    I'd prefer the volunteer government that obeyed the constitutional limits of the original constitution plus Bill of Rights. (You probably already knew that was my opinion.[grin])
    I do think that the military does need to be professionals at their craft, and that the civilians who control them should also control their impulses to use the military to meddle in foreign affairs.

I have called it an “ Uncivil War” for four years.
But I should have called it Good vs Evil War.

  I know. I have even picked up ''uncivil war' from you. But this guy is really impressive. Read one of his papers.

Indeed, there is a war, and there is a basic hijacking of government a long while ago....and those who will use it against us...

And not represented at all by those who believe neither in altruism or socialism.

Umm, neither? Where is this conservative volunteer government he/she speaks of? If we truly did, or if we did and such a government was half-competent, we might not have the other kind.

  Perhaps you think we can't have more than one working at a time?

    I didn't say we CAN'T. I just meant that we're not socialist but that the right has not put up a good alternative either.
