Army takes older recruits

Up to 42nd birthday wow. Maybe the draft is right around the corner, one can only hope.
Wouldn't I love to see the expression on wingnuts faces when their precious little
bundles of joy become cannon fodder for the insanity in Iraq. Getting junior a stint in the National Guard wouldn't help this time,but
having other priorities or complaining about a boil on your butt is still an option.

I see this is already being discussed so feel free to ignore.

4. Silver Spoons and the Draft

You have the right idea but unfortunately those 'fortunate' sons and daughters who should see and experience the true grit of battle will either find ways to avoid the draft and or be placed in special cushy positions. It happened during the Vietnam War and always will. It's how it works for the gifted silver spooned cream puffs.
