[Viva_La_Revolution]

I asked a vet here at work if he had gotten his call up papers yet, that got a conversation started with a shrub voter whose hubby was a major, retired 10 years ago. She hadn't heard anything (or wasn't listening!) Now she gets scared! Anybody have links to the most recent reports, call ups 50-60 yrs old, etc.? I will show her the light! (cool - right before it hits the mass media that the election was so screwed!) Thanks :)
