KO may have to cover the draft!
I'm talking conscription, man! There was a story in the Post about the need for more medical personnel in the services. Here it comes, a limited draft which, when they've rotated 100,000 troops out of Europe and put them thru 2 tours, will lead to a general draft. Chicky babies, it's happening sooner rather than later!


:banghead: we, the people, never learn:hide:


KO, baby, there's a story for you to cover:loveya:

1. Send it, Send it :)
I use the Countdown@msnbc.com addy, and use the "email to a friend" link on the articles.

Hopefully, they're not getting caught in the spam filters or eaten by Spyware....LOL.

2. Things to add to my "To Do" list:
* Teach my nephew Christian the meaning of "Pacifist." (he's 12, but I'm not taking any chances)

* Investigate fine Canadian colleges for the li'l critter (above).

* Consider moving to Canada and adopting him outright.


Damn. Damn. Damn.

This madness has GOT to be stopped.

3. Something is definitely up
I saw men & women in cammies in every US airport I landed at these past two days & they were EVERYWHERE at DFW this morning/afternoon. They looked like they were recent call-ups & not troops on their way home too.
