ARMY Planning something in October (not because of elections!) |
|
I have a friend at my college, he is in the reserves. The last few weeks he has been having to see his officer for some reason, he is scared of getting forced to go back into the army.
Well, just today he was saying a few friends that got our of their tour with him are ALL saying they're getting similar warnings from their officers they are going back. My professor, who used to be in the army, has a few friends apparently higher up. He said that they have been screaming along the lines of "We had to do something in October, before the elections"
Where have we heard this before. We have seen this pattern and now I'm personally seeing it taking effect in normal life and it scares to think whats going to happen, I cant imagine what's going though all of their minds. This bullshit has to stop. I wonder what the hell they're going to to in October, god only knows. oh boy.... thoughts?

This pattern before the elections has been seen MANY times before. Nothing new.

Don't tell me you forgot about those "Osama" tapes from right before elections last year? Saddam? This is just a natural progression to the draft.

I think mikeybabe125 is just trying to make us aware of the fear tactics this administration is accustomed to using to get the sheeple in line. Right? mikeybabe? Anyway, relating direct stories told to the poster is not heresay or rumor it is what others who may know more than we do are saying. Thanks mikeybabe for the heads up!

12. I admit that I'm being grumpy |
|
But I prefer that the boards be free from nebulous rumors and vague warnings of panic. There's way too much of that already.
