Military Enlistment/Reenlistment Document

DD Form 4/1

I remember during the bush years how folks who were against the war/occupation passed these out to people. BTW we have had more die in Afghanistan during the Obama administration than during the bush terms - so we need folks to enlist and go there as well.

If you are for the wars or occupation and you think it is good for the Iraqi/Afghanistan folks please fill out the forms and enlist so that you can help them.

You don't need to worry, combat operations are over, the war is over, no need to sweat it. Sign up and head over there to help out......

1. Dumb topic
First off, the military is exceeding its enlistment goals. They have to raise the standards, since they are accepting more people then their quota. If one person chooses not to join, there is a second person waiting to join in their place.

And for the record, I graduate college in 3 months, and I intend to join the Army.

2. it was, and is, about the principle of it. If you think we should stay there and help, go help
Back when bush wanted to go there people were talking about how they would give rw'ers enlistment papers if they believed so much in the mission.

If people believe in it, back it up - either my post is dumb or many on the left were when they said the same thing I am.

Which is it?
