I guess the 2.5 billion a year they spend on video games, advertising and personal contacts just isn't enough to feed the meat grinder is it? Here's the article:

[Deja Q]

1. Why not?

They are fighting so their companies can prosper. Oops, countries. :dunce:

Cyncism aside, fighting terrorists is a worldwide issue.

Problem is, how come the leaders of "those" countries are doing so little if they'd rather have another country take them in for military training?

And what am I missing?

2. More like Ancient Rome every day with these psychos!

3 carrier battle groups and a Marine Expeditionary Force in the Presian Gulf...

Smells like a bloody 2007!!!

3. That couldn't possibly be correct

Knowing that bush wants to expand the military and the Army and Marine Corps are calling for more personnel, surely all good patriotic "conservative" Americans would rush right down to their recruiting station to sign up to serve our great leader. I think any day now we will hear the news that Free republic is shutting down because all its members have joined the Army because its the right thing to do.

Besides if we put immigrants in the Army and ran off the rest who would pick the lettuce which goes in the salads of Young Republicans? Its really tough having such things to worry about.

5. And in addition to that great rush...

the Bush twins are just waiting for the right moment to don their military apparel (or was it a barrel)and lead by example! Just like daddy and all the other chicken hawks that planned this fiasco.
As far as the salad, hey there's always outsourcing, dude...

4. Eeeks, what if them foreigners turn on US??

This sounds illegal to me. No pun intended.
