No thanks, I'd rather work for McDonalds...

nobody in their right mind is going to consider the military or even the national guard when they think they could be trapped in endless duty in iraq or, worse yet, end up disabled or dead...

The recruitment chain that has given the United States highly qualified, highly skilled and highly motivated ground forces for the three decades since the government abandoned the draft has started to break down.

This is astonishing, even allowing for the administration's failure to prepare Americans honestly for how long and difficult the occupation of Iraq would be.

no, it's not at all astonishing... anyone who can even think that it's astonishing is smokin' something funny...
