The real vote on this will be at the enlistment office.
If the southern rednecks who make up the core of the infantry do not
show up and the current ones fail to reenlist expect a draft or a
sharp decrease in our ability to wage these crusades.

recruitin levels are at an all time high. in fact the USCG is cutting
1000 enlisted because reenlistment is so high


A quote:
"But it turns out that while Mr. Dow Jones believes that our Great
Recession is over (that’s a joke), one invisible hand in our market
doesn’t know what the other is doing. Americans are going so broke in
this jobless recovery that instead of finding work in our not-so-happy-
fun-time economy, they’d rather get shot up and shoot at other people
in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places.

That’s right, the Pentagon reported on this day of Dow 10,000 that our
strained Armed Forces have beat their recruiting goals for the fiscal
year, driven by economic unease."

You see, the uptick in recruiting levels has nothing to do with asking
or telling, but instead it has everything to do with BO's jobless
"recovery". The emporer is spending us into the ground, and even the
teenagers now understand.

We won't know what effect ask/tell has until things change. Until
then, you're blowing smoke. As usual?
