There was enough lying BS in this article that I never made it half way through.

Care to be specific?

I could only read it up to this point:

"increasing pressure to hit recruiting targets during an unpopular war."

Scrolled back up and saw it was the Oregonian.

Pisses me off even further that I just wasted 5 minutes of my Sunday.

Given that Portland Oregon is a bastion of leftist socialism liberals, rivaled only by Seattle and San Francisco, I have a hard time accepting the story as written. Parts may be somewhat true, but when it comes to bashing our Military, I don't trust anything that comes out in the Oregonian.

The Oregonian and the Columbian are the two papers offered here and I refuse to buy either one.

As written, there is no need to investigate anything, the recruiter should be hanged, plain and simple. Truth or outcome of an investigation be d*mned.

Folks unfamiliar with this rag, beware. This is the OREGONIAN, a self-styled left wing support mechanism for the latte-sipping commies down at Anarchy Central. Little Beirut.

Portland's lefties have forced out military recruiters under the dubious guise of 'don't ask don't tell being discriminatory. Yeah, it discriminates so we will have the best military bar none.

This article is likely a part of Portland's hatred of anything Bush, or American for that matter.

And the alternate headline if the Army had rejected him:

" Boys Family Sues After Army Discriminates Against Him "
