"When James T. Conway went down to see the draft board at the height of the Vietnam War in 1969, he was told "we're not going to draft you. You've got a great number and you don't have to worry about military service." He responded, "You don't understand, I actually want to go."

Today, as Commandant of the Marine Corps, he's one of the nation's leading military commanders. He's led tens of thousands of Marines on two significant campaigns in Iraq. The first was the drive on Baghdad in 2003; the second was what turned out to be an aborted assault on Fallujah in April 2004. In 2006 he became the steward of a fighting force with a history that stretches all the way back to 1775, before there was a United States of America."

No Use for Donk Twits
His statements indicate he has learned from history and doesn't want to repeat it. Forward thinking, and thinking of the safety of his Marines in addition to accomplishing the mission.

Policy is determined by civilians, btw.

That's because he's a coward who couldn't pass the physical if he did have the nads to join.

All he can do is post hit and run (copy and paste) things here while pulling his pud.
