Don't go there. Mike, it smacks of questioning my patriotism. I don't pretend to know the future. What I do know is that we haven't come anywhere near making the sacrifices our parents and grandparents were asked to in WW2. If it comes to that, I'm prepared to do my part, including sweating off enough weight to get back into my camos (provided the enlistment age is raised to 45 and I can get a medical waiver).
