I heard that they had raised military service age to 42, but after
reading this, and to know that my Daughters are in High School and
our current President will be in office another year and a half,
worries me.

The fact that this Bill may even considering 42 year olds in a
required marital service capacity show sings of desperation and a
lack of faith within the political structure, and law / policy makers
of our Nation today. The Architect of this piece of legislation is
out to make a name for himself or is knowingly drafting this for
direct reaction of what he fears may happen with this nation at its
present course, under its present leadership.

I am 43 at this point, but my concern are for all those whom have
school age children that may be affected by these bad choices of the
few, having repercussion, and adverse affect on the many.

I'm so glad both my girls are well verse in Wing Chun. It may come to
pass that they may have to utilize it in defense of our nation
against their free will and better judgment.
