Sound off Sgt. Stryker doesn’t think much of the latest “national service” proposal, a Republican-sponsored bill calling for mandatory “boot camp” after high school. Says the Sgt.:

Let’s get another thing straight while we’re here. The military is not your goddamned motivational speaker. Our mission is not to crank out civic minded citizens. Our mission is to train and equip people to perform wartime and support taskings. All of our specialties exist for only one purpose: War. We’re not here to make people better, or to cover mommy and daddy’s failures as parents.

Stryker also has some pretty sensible comments about gays in the military. [11:42 PM]
