Good look back on the facts surrounding WWII. America had less than half its current population in the WWII era, yet had more than 16 MILLION men and women in the military for WWII service. Today, we have around 3 million military members.

I am the only one of my peers from the old neighborhood who ever joined the military. I left active duty almost ten years ago, but I held my brother's AR-15 about a month ago, which is basically the civilian version of the M-16, and it all came back to me. There are several generations of Americans who will never know what it feels like to be ready should the s*#t hit the fan.
