An Army of One, my ass.

I'm so sick of the recent commercials for the Army & Army Reserve, in which some young kid is trying to convince his or her parents that they really, really need to join the army to become a better person. And hey, Mom & Dad, they'll give me money for college and great training! One boy even says to his dad, "hey, it's the Reserves. They'll train me around here until they need me."

Well, fella, that'll be about 5 or 6 minutes after you graduate from boot camp.

I think it's a real indicator of how seriously the Bu(ll)sh(it) administration has screwed up, that kids are having to convince parents to let them in the Army, instead of the other way around.
