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!!! Boonie Rat MACV SOCOM, PhuBai/Hue '65-'66
Half a billion here, half a billion there, and pretty soon you have a congressional majority.
OMG! Reminds me of that 52 year old woman marine biologist who died in the landlocked country Afghanistan last week. But 60?! And she's the 10th oldest, there are others? Couldn't they sell and leave or something?
"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country." - Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers Thoughts and prayers up for her and all the other grandmothers that dull leader is sending into harm's way. What a mensch.
I have a friend, 50 year old grandfather, back from his second tour, that said they were scraping the bottom of the barrel when they took him.
The draft must be around the corner; the crazies are not done.

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!!!!! Boonie Rat MACV SOCOM, PhuBai/Hue '65-'66

If anyone wants to consider whether Bush and Hillary are on the same team, the implementation of a draft would be a positive indicator. I would say Hillary would have great difficulty bringing about a draft, however, Bush and his neocon/Israeli allies could very well carry the day for a draft before he enthrones Hillary as his successor.
WHO SENT HER!!!?????

IMO, they have someone less inflammatory in mind for the Oval Office. I don't know who.

Father time is the deciding factor. Hillary will be 61 when Rabbi Bush leaves office. If she were to postpone her run for her "throne", that would most likely postpone it for another eight years. There certainly are other factors but "time" is the deciding factor.
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. Boonie Rat MACV SOCOM, PhuBai/Hue '65-'66

Maybe there's some hope - or maybe, they'll go nukes over there. Who knows, with the crazies in charge?
Unreal, any way you look at it.
