No one was compelled to do anything because the new generation in college has been raised to be PC, liberal, and above all cover your own a**. Don't believe me? Check out the enlistment notices in your local papers.... A vast majority are enlisting in the air force... By doing this, they think they will be shielded from the violence that is currently taking over the world. By being in the air force, they believe they will be safe and secure on some big airbase somewhere.. That being said, My oldest son IS in the airforce, and he is not assigned to some cushy, secure safe job...
He is currently in Iraq, doing what has to be done as a member of an elite Air force counter-insurgency unit, charged with finding, fixing, and destroying those fools who are dreaming of 72 virgins...Point is, our younger generation(with the exeption of MEN like my son) are a bunch of milktoast, tittysucking babies with no concept of the sacrifices that their grandparents had to make to ensure our freedom. I'm not surprised to see that no one stood up to the psyco that shot up V.T....Hiding under a desk will ensure you will live, but can you live with yourself, knowing that you could have possibly changed the outcome? Wanna flame me? Go ahead, cause I have thick skin...
