1. Hell, she could have served too--in between flunking out

4. We still don't know ANYTHING about Sarah Palin.

What has she been doing the last 24 years? Where are her aquaintances, friends, classmates?

Why is nobody talking about her?

Much more alarming is his unpatriotic membership in s secessionist organization like the AIP. There's gold, there...

3. Because he wasn't facing jail time?

5. I think you have to have a high school diploma to enlist, right?

I'm serious--I heard he was a high school drop out.

6. They are desperate

The military, I have read, is providing wavers for drop-outs and kids who have broken the law.
