Yes, our beloved leader has fucked up so bad that there are no longer enough people volunteering to go to Iraq and/or Afghanistan. So now

Oh good Hel.

Ever read Heinlein? I think we're in his Crazy Years.

Actually, my theory is that we're going exactly the same way as another country here in this world. One that was at one time the greatest country in the known world for many long years.

And unlike most other people who do this kind of analogy, I'm not talking about Rome, but instead France, circa 1770's, leading in to July 14, 1789

Not so long as the people in charge are so dynamically opposed to those whom they claim to speak for.

I'm almost exactly 6 months behind Scott in terms of when joined.

I posted about this shit yesterday... I also very sarcastically replied in Hunter's post about this that the re-drafting is being done to help the incoming vets of all the fucked up shit waiting them in civ life - that its just the GOP showing that they care -_-
