Yesterday at 11:00am I hugged my sister-in-law at the S.A. airport. She is 56 years old and by next week this time she will be in Iraq. She is the 10th oldest in her unit that's being deployed this week, the oldest 60 years old!!! WTF!!!
Honestly I'm really pissed about it. She is on blood pressure medicine, cholesterol medicine, and has had a single mastechtomy!! And there's a 72 year old doctor who was sent over!!!!!
She's in a reserve unit out of Mass-of-two-shits. Been in for almost 20 yrs. If she were to quit now she'd get the purple shaft and the barbed wire cluster. Got a brother-in-law whose career military, 25+ yrs, major, retired. Talked with him yesterday. He figures the reserves will dry up because no body will enlist for the bovine excrement of back to back rotations to enhance Bush/Cheney's retirement plans. He was always gung-ho. Says he wouldn't suggest ANYONE enlist now.
