But not with the helpless elderly who need their Social Security payments, not with the powerless Army private supporting a family. I mean it&#8217;s time to load our elected officials on troop planes and send them to Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Put them in tents with no air conditioning, have Army drill sergeants teach them teamwork and physical sacrifice. When they recognize their responsibility to the people of America, they can return to D.C., their upscale restaurants, and military plane trips, as though they were royalty.<\/p>\n<p>And if they can&#8217;t? Better that they should fail to learn what an 18-year-old Army private understands than continue to fail America.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;d work or not, but it&#8217;d sure be fun to watch on live TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>StrikeFO sends us a commentary from Lt.
