It's not only puzzling, but is directly contradictory. How can we ask our troops to come home to this..?
It is truly shameful.
Perhaps an email to LouDobbs@cnn.com expressing this would be an idea.
Just saw on MSNBC where a mom is pissed because the us gov showed on her caller id when a recruiter called her 16 year old daughter without fully identifying himself. Offering her perks to quit school, get a GED, Blah blah. Woman said that a police officer cannot talk to a minor without parental presence and permission, then why can the goverment military recruiters discuss careers with a minor without parental permission?
Found out there's a federal law that schools have to provide recruiters with home information on High School seniors.
If you really think about it, the only way this could happen is if the main body of troops is in a far off land. If you believe in prophecy, the anti-christ is going to seem like the lamb, but in truth he will be against all that is good.
