OBAMA ONCE CONSIDERED JOINING THE MILITARY: BUT DECIDED NOT TO BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE TO KILL

This from an upcoming interview on ABC by George Stephanopoulos. Funny how this contemplation was never mentioned in either of this two autobiographies.

Obama disclosed that he had once considered serving in the military.

“You know, I actually did,” Obama said. “I had to sign up for Selective Service when I graduated from high school. And I was growing up in Hawaii. And I have friends whose parents were in the military. There are a lot of Army, military bases there.

“And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it's not an option that I ever decided to pursue.”

Looks like had we been involved in a conflict, he would have jumped right in. Not much on deterrence is he?
