Default Believe it or not....

Recently, the U S Army sent letters to 275 officers listed as no longer on active duty, to encourage them to return to active service...

All 275 had been, either killed or wounded in combat...

Now, that REALLY builds my confidence... :arrow:

That is quite tragic :sad:

Curious on how much this war is costing tax payers...

and killing innocent lives <-- horrible.

well if you look at this way we are spending about..Random_Fact#302: So far, Congress has authorized $152,600,000,000 for the Iraq war. This is enough to build over 17,500 elementary schools.

now thats also real sad =\

How could the military do something that stupid?? I can't even imagine how the people who received those letters must have felt. Drive safe everyone.

And THIS administration has the cajones to question MY support of the troops!!! :roll: :roll:

Shows JUST how much THEY care about our armed forces! They are so determined to "rebuild" their force strength WITHOUT resurrecting the Draft, that they illegally extend Guard units deployments.... and chastize the DEAD for not giving MORE sacrifice to the country! :shock: :roll:

They've already raised the re-enlistment age! What will they do next? Start recruiting Middle School children?? Oh wait.... that's what the TERRORISTS are doing!!!

This is the WORST administration in American History! Exceeding EVEN the lies and deceit of NIXON! And I don't want to hear a word about Clinton! His b/j didn't cost a SINGLE military life!!!!

If we had an OUNCE of balls left in this country, we would have followed the dictates of our Declaration of Independence and thrown OFF this oppressive government years ago!

But, alas, the Liberals don't have the cajones to stand up against the Conservatives.... and the Conservatives don't have the BRAINS to stand up against their chosen dictator!

[Present company excepted, of course! :lol: ]
