Are Any Young DUers Here Or DUers' Kid Getting Heavily Recruited...

by the military?

I was reading Bob Herbert's column this morning, and I was just wondering if any DUers here or their kids are getting the hard sell from the military?

1. Well, FWIW, my 37 yr old sister had an interesting call from a recruiter

last week.

Yeah, 37 - not a typo. She's enrolled in some college courses so that's how they got her name. As her husband is already in Iraq, she and the recruiter had a particularly interesting conversation. After she told him that DH was already there (and that she's home w/3 kids) he pulled out the 15 month card, which made her laugh, and then asked if she had considered joining the Reserves.

2. Why Not Enlist Her Three Kids As Well

Man. They're taking a mother away from her children.

3. If you've ever seen the destruction they're capable of...

you'd realize they'd prolly be one helluvan asset!
