One of the things that has continually puzzled VDB is the great enthusiasm Washington Republicans — primarily Southern Conservatives — show for Vermont’s Martha Rainville.

martha, salutingAfter all, Rainville has gone to great lengths to avoid the word “Republican” in her advertising; she’s even made small, tentative noises about Congressional reform.

And yet the Conservatives, and the religious enthusiasts, never seem to take offense. Quite the contrary: Party money has flowed generously, and it now exceeds the amount Rainville raised with her own two independent hands.

Granted, Martha is a former Adjutant General, with a record of saluting smartly on The War. And Martha is a female former AG, which must have seemed a heaven-sent two-fer to the boys in DC — here was an excellent tool to prize open Vermont’s now solidly Left-leaning Congressional delegation.

But even so, as Mark Shepard was wont to point out, Rainville gets downright squishy on some of the key Conservative issues. Stem-cell research, to take one at random, or her stance on the Waxman legislation. Which might otherwise lead you to expect that the Conservatives who control the GOP would find Martha something of a mixed bag.

Military Recruitment has been a big issue on most school districts especially in the United States. A lot of Military Recruiters set out on schools to encourage young students to join the Military Forces. However, a lot of school principals in different school districts expresses disapproval on the military recruitment on schools wherein some recruiters are forcing students which is what most schools principals are concerned of. According to some school principals, students should decide for their own and not to be forced.

Meanwhile, under new government plans, more students will be encourage to join the Army Cadet Forces. Earlier, the National Union of Teachers were really not in favor with the Military Recruitment Campaigns in Schools but then, a report commissioned by Gordon Brown says that more cadet corps should be linked to schools. He also recommends inclusions of military lessons in the National Curriculum.
