1. I heard about this last night -- can you imagine a 42-year-old
going through boot camp?!

Sound like time for a remake of Stripes.

4. Yes
When I was in bootcamp at the age of 22, there was a 50+ yr. old woman in my platoon. She finished...I didn't.

2. Positioning for a draft?
Get ready for a flood of "illegals", Canada!

3. If conservatives weren't cowards this would not be necessary
Flag waving, pencil dicked pack animal cowards who proudly display their magnets and yet would never do anything meaningful to support the troops like go to the desert and relieve them. And now, the ignorant bastards are cheering on war with Iran and/or Syria. Conservatives are the number one domestic enemy of our nation. What will they fuck up tomorrow?
