Just read about soldiers being sent to Iraq despite positive drug
tests.

Also read about how many states are releasing a lot of "non-violent" prisoners...supposedly because it is costing too much money to incarcerate them. Just wondering if this is where we will be getting the new recruits for Iraq?

2. No silly,
we'll have the draft lottery that will make things more fair. The non-violent offenders they just released are going to be the ones to replace all of the jobs that are being created because we won't have enough people to fill the positions! (JJ)

3. How about taking a man in his mid 50's even though he failed
his physical? Got a friend, a reservist trained in artillery, has been activated, changed to infantry, and has one more physical before being sent to Iraq. The guy was ready to retire because of his asthma and vertigo.
