Would you send your wife to war while you stayed home with the kids? She's a much better shot than me. I'm also a great father. The reality is we would both be willing to sacrifice our lives to save the other and protect our kids. The idea that the government needs to decide who is the better fit for that is silly. OK, so if she's drafted and your daughter is drafted, and you stay home in safety that's fine with you? Edit: And I doubt you have imagination enough to understand what kind of meat grinder you'd be sending them into.

I know he's held in high esteem by certain Marines in this forum, and reports indicate he's competent, very intelligent, and nuanced --but like a separation of powers between the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary bodies of governmrnt, there should be an explicit chain of command of clear civilian leadership over the military at the Pentagon. That's why the 8 (formerly 10) year rule between military service and DoD leadership is in effect. It's a good and prudent law. You're telling me you'd be upset if the military overthrew Trump?

I meant the question in my later post, about what you think his concrete proposal is.

I got it all along, but you still haven't answered my question.

I never claimed that. Edit: So KP, what do you think he's calling on Castro to do specifically to get people to work the fields, except for "the radical self-critique".

So is he saying Cuban government is too soft, and could use some more Stalinism?

Nothing wrong with that, children who want and can learn shouldn't be dragged down by those who don't. Edit: Feds shouldn't have anything to do with education, that's a local concern. The Department of Education should be abolished, I don't know of any good it's ever done. Edit2: Well, at least Trump accomplished one thing already: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/29/business/trump-to-announce-carrier-plant-will-keep-jobs-in-us.html?_r=0

There are certainly good public school systems in the US. No one is advocating abandoning public education, the idea is to provide more choice and competition. Edit: The biggest problem as mentioned is in the inner cities, where you have both the out-of-control teachers' unions and the self-dealing politicians that enable them, in a addition to societal problems which make educating all the children very difficult.
