Political Quote Of The Day: Barack Obama Joins The Army
BARACK Obama tells ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that he had once considered serving in the military.
“You know, I actually did. 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.”
So had the US been engaged in active military conflict, Obama would have joined up? How’s that for unlucky..?
