Military Recruitment Problems???
The Army continues to miss goal month after month; the National Guard has raised the eligibility age in an effort to make goal. Why?? This country is overflowing with God fearing, flag waving red blooded, hard dicked macho conservative bush supporting males just chomping at the bit to go kill em some ragheads. Either the Army recruiters are extremely inefficient or I'm way off base. Maybe those I refer to are just little pencil dicks who are truly badasses only when in a large group of like minded pencil dicks; and the only life they value is their own. Yeah, I think thats it; because I know our Army Recruiters are extremely efficient in what they do.

1. Once again the answer is simple.
It is easier to slap a ribbon on your car, to give some money from your pocket, then it is to actually act on what you claim to believe.

2. I heard of one church having a father and son day
that was nothing more than a recruiting effort in disguise. I think they should recruit through the churches. Let them preachers put their children where their mouth is.

3. "Who will help?" asked the little red hen.
Not me said the college age YGOPer.
Not me said the 20-something Wall Street interns
Not me said the 30-something mid-level management, military-industrial profiteers

Not me said the children and grandchildren of the politicians who enabled this bloodbath.

They want to sit safely at home, waving their flags, driving their SUVs, gloating over their Halliburton profits, etc.
