Why wouldn’t2/3 fight?
by Michael T. Jesky
Sixty-seven percent of 18-29 year olds
would not be willing to serve in the U.S.
military forces in the Persian Gulf accord
ing to a CBS News/New York Times poll
of 1,348 adults conducted January 5-7,
1991.
This poll raises serious ques
tions about the unity of the fabric
of our nation. It seems that
everybody is patriotic until the
time comes to defend what we
believe in and often take for
granted.
Had the Gulf War continued
longer and more casualties been
suffered would we have been
facing another Vietnam? In my
opinion we most likely would
The Perfect Man Defined
by Denise Caron
This article is in response to
last issue’s article on the “perfect
woman.” First of all, I’d like to
say that there is no such thing as
a “perfect man.” I’m not saying
that all men are imperfect (God
knows I love ‘em all). “Perfect” is
a relative term. I believe that one
woman’s nightmare is another
woman’s dream. However, there
are some determining factors that
make a man pretty damn good.
A good man should value
people for what they’re like in-
have. The major opponents of
Vietnam were the draft aged,
college students who stood the
most to lose; not their own lives
if they fought, but the lives of
many generations to come if they
chose not to tight
The Domino Theory may
seem like a failed military idea
logy of the past but it still applies
today, like it or not The theory
applies not so much to Commun-
side. In a relationship, looks
shouldn’t matter at all. Of course,
looks attract us to a person in the
first place, but after emotional
bonding occurs, a person’s
appearance should no longer have
relevance as to whether or not we
value that person.
A man should remember that
women are people too, with feel
ings that can easily be hurt Men
should be honest all the time, no
matter how hard it might be to
tell the truth. They should never
be afraid to cry or show they are
ism but rather to any country
ruled by a madman; the more
countries under one man’s con
trol, the stronger that man
becomes.
Few people can see the logic
in what I just said. Many people
believe it would be much better
to stick our heads in the sand and
hope we don’t get our asses shot
off in the meanwhile.
Doing so in the 1930’s with
Adolf Hitler cost the United
States over one million casualties,
four hundred thousand of which
were deaths, in the 1940’5.
If we had let Saddam Hussein
do his will in the 1990’5, what
would the price have been by the
year 2010?
Will history teach us nothing?
upset They shouldn’t be afraid to
communicate true feelings,
because it’s a must in a relation
ship. Above all, they shouldn’t
cheat -- the truth always comes
out and they won’t get away with
it
Men, don’t be self-centered.
Remember to be sensitive to a
woman’s emotions and her needs.
Don’t forget to call her at the
pre-designated time, and don’t
make her worry by not showing
up when you tell her you’ll meet
