I was happy to see some of the shitbirds quit my reserve unit when they thought that deployment was near.

I saw this article in today's New York Post. It is a worthy read.

"The problem with the low army recruitment failure, is the non-use of the air force. Use our air power to bomb these people into submission, and allow the ground troops to mop up the little resistance left"

You wouldn't win many "hearts and minds" by bombing entire neighborhoods to get a few insurgents. Besides being morally reprehensible it would be just plain stupid.

Call for a draft and see how popular this war is.
