Just awesome! That ought to give the Russians a few willys and greatly sadden the Democrats.
Man, like wow. Usually that is one soldier and an officer, with a few lookers on doing the REUP ceremony. Wow.
1215 enlistees representing every state and every branch of service...
They'll come home and become politically active, looking at your seat!
yes... and in Baghadad... USA!
God bless ‘em all! Don’t mess with us or a world of hurt is headed your way.....
Yes, they will come home, the strong the brave, the proud, and now the self-confident... Our Troops will pick up the mantle and become politically active and serve this country again, in all the best ways.

Thank you to our Troops for being there for us.

Troops talk about their experience and value for freedom, a concept Senator Obama takes for granted because he didn’t do any of the work, thank you American Forces!
But a good lump in your throat :=)
Al Faw palace bump. It was my place of work for nearly 2 years while I was over there. Great AC btw.
