Army tried to recruit an 85 yr. old grandmother from Seattle, WA.
Just heard on local ABC news station that the army tried to recruit an 85 year old grandmother from Seattle, WA.

Can't really member her name. But it did state that she was in the Air Force during WWII and that's how the army pulled her name. They had been sending out letters to people who once serviced their country.

Funny thing is that the grandmother is "TOTALLY AGAINST" the war in Iraq. She also wrote a letter to the Chimp in the White House and told him so.

Everyone pray for this sweet old lady. With the Patriot Act in full force, I'm sure the FBI will be trying to kick down her door. That's if they haven't already.

1. OK, she served in WWII.
Which ended 60 years ago.

But the Army was only a little bit short of its recruitment goals for the year.

Uh-huh.

2. Grandma should have called all the networks, then reported for duty.
Now that would be a statement!
