New Army Recruiting Tactic: Obama will "Get Us Out of Iraq"
Source: VetVoice

Well that didn't take long. Polls across America had been closed for less than 24 hours and Army Career Counselors were already exploiting Barack Obama's victory in an effort to recruit former soldiers back into units. This email was forwarded to me by an Iraq veteran and former Army captain who received it on Wednesday.

10. E-mails and electrical messages look a lot alike
Because the consequences of mixing up classified and unclassified information are so grave (oftentimes, it would let people know that CNN's got better information than the intelligence community), you have to mark everything with its classification.

3. I like the premise, too:
sign up with us so you don't have to deploy. I'm too tired to think up a scathing comment about why that's ridiculous, but it is.

7. I'm a retired Naval officer and I would like to encourage my son to join.
But as long as the idiot-in-chief is in there, I'm not letting him go.

There have been so many sailors and airmen ordered into Iraq that I don't trust that my son will end up being nothing more than cannon fodder for bush's war.

I want to see what Obama does in Afghanistan before I recommend to him to join our military. It's just that the economy is so stinking bad. He can't find a decent job and he feels he's getting nowhere.

January 20th and Obama's Inauguration can't get here soon enough.

8. Not even in office yet, and he's strengthening the military.
Bush weakened our armed forces. This hasn't been talked about enough. I wished Obama had hit McCain with this during the debates. Bush got so embarrassed by missing recruiting goals, he ordered the goals lowered. But the result is the same: not enough new recruits to replace the retirees. His lousy leadership discouraged enlistment. Look for enlistments to increase under Obama.
