I read about this today. Im making an effort to be "fair and balanced" by reading foxnews.com as well as cnn.com and nytimes.com. On foxnews.com there were articles about troops being stretched thin and recruiters missing their goals but no mention of these events from Ohio. There was however a misleadinly titled article "Brain damaged man 'wakes up' after 10 years." The man was in a coma for 2.5 months and has been undergoing physical therapy since but was fairly unresponsive. He made some incredible headway recently by regaining his wits, but he was not in a coma for 10 years as the article's title would have you believe.

Looks like the army will have to change its slogan from "an army of one" to "an army of anyone"

Nice Gizmo.

I guess the solution to the recruitment problem is to squeeze the bottom half out of the middle class so that they have no choice but to enlist. Oh wait, that’s what’s happening.

This makes me feel sad and worried about a lot of stuff.

Actually, this makes the education plan of the Bush administration a lot more clear:

1. Cut funding to states forcing them to cut education at all levels. Many of us saw this with soaring tuition increases at OSU. This will force schools to shorten the school year (ala Oregon), lower standards for gradation (ala Oregon), and thus produce students with minimal education.

2. Spend 131Million on abstinance only education to develop a generation of emotionally repressed, childless people. This way we wont have to worry about their "feelings" when we ship them off to war nor will we have to worry about them being concerned for their offspring, because they wont have any.

We now have a pool of directionless, unemotional, uneducated, unattached people that can be easily pursuaded to be fodder for wars. Perhaps this Bush guy is smarter than I thought....

;)

Don't even get me started on Bush's education "policy".

I hear the Bush twins are unable to find work. Why don't they join the army?
