1. And then get the reverse stats
Can someone find what percentage of reservists are in Iraq? The last numbers I saw were at 80% in January.

7. Their website is a load of propaganda
Look at their "News"...not one story about a reservist's death

3. I get angry when I see the recruiting commercials
Army reserve: "I can go to college, blah blah, until I'm needed." I yell at the tv, "Son, you'll be in Iraq before the end of the year."

5. More 9/11s?
If 9/ll repeats itself it would probably by done by the Bush junta, so we should all go to DC & demand they step down.

6. they would blanket TV with even more ads,
and then go after the Boy Scouts.

Oh, wait, they ARE doing that.
