John. or Bill. or Henry. or Mike may be required to fight on foreign soil not for the preservation of the Union but to implement a foreign policy established by United Nations. And "Oh. yes." says the Army. "perhaps Roger. David. or Phil. while fighting abroadnot under the Stars and Stripes but under the United Nationsmay pick up a wife. a Jap. a Chink. and bring her home." Well. perhaps the originators of our foreign policy have a thought for the girl who has been left behindmaybe she can get a refugee or a displaced person to marry and father children. By legislation of this type we. just slam shut the door of opportunity to all of the young folks of today and tomorrow. We give back to this country the system of military training. of military conscription. which the Pilgrim Fathers and all those who came to this country seeking freedom and opportunity fought so long. so successfully to escape.
