Back in World War Two, many top baseball players served in the military. Among them: Bob Feller, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Hank Greenberg, Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra. Other than Pat Tillman, who has volunteered? If we are in a fight for civilization, as President Bush says, why don't we see more celebrity volunteers? Sean Hannity, are you listening?

I'm way too old, plus, I'm a 'Defeatocrat' myself.

Conrang... the point of this 'rant' is that PERHAPS this war isn't quite the 'war for civilization' that Bush paints it. I wouldn't volunteer for this war, nor did I volunteer for Viet Nam (I was of the age at the time). This 'war' has lasted longer than World War 2 (for the US) and there's no end in sight.
My point is that this war is NOT the equivalent of WW2, and it's not even close.

Maybe they are just too smart to volunteer for a useless war.. How can you compare WWII to Bush's folly?

One ex-NFL player that I know who quite playing football to join the Marine Corps is Jeremy Staat. There is an article about him in the October 2007 edition of VFW magazine.

Hey Daniel you are worried about celeb's volunteering, I got an idea why dont you put down your new copy of US weekly and join the brave soldiers who ARE fighting.

i think because this enemy is so insidious its not as obvious the dangers they impose. Hitler was hard to ignore, he was taking over the world one country at a time you know?
