The U.S. military continues to miss recruiting goals and current forces are under an enormous strain. As soldiers are deployed over and over to 'combat theatre' the Pentagon is thinking outside the box to increase the size of the force.
President Bush is calling for more military presence while the recruiting continues to dwindle. One brilliant idea is to open recruiting offices in foreign countries. "Hey, we know you aren't American and maybe can't speak English and we don't want you to actually live in our country...but, we sure could use your help in fighting a war nobody in our country wants to fight." Maybe I wouldn't be the best person to write the marketing brochure. That's something I'm not sure I could sell.
Another idea is to fastrack immigrant citizenship applications if the applicant will enlist. Too bad we're trying to send all those illegals back...we could send them to Iraq. One thing that keeps not coming up is the reinstatement of the draft. Another thing that isn't coming up is perhaps getting the hell out of there. Sometimes the most noble and right thing to do is walk away. "Hey, sorry we fucked up your country and left you with a civil war and all...but we've really got to be at this event. You don't mind if we leave early, do you? Thanks...catch you next time! Good luck!"
Trully, tasteless and stupid post. Congrats you stooped to a new low.

Yes, sending their kids home in a box should earn us some respect with the rest of the world.
