FORT WORTH, Texas - The Defense Department, strapped for troops for missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, has proposed to Congress that it tap the Internal Revenue Service to locate out-of-touch reservists.

The problem for the Pentagon is that the whereabouts of 50,200 of those veterans are unknown to the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force. The largest number - 40,700 - are former Army GIs.

The troops are required to keep the services' updated on their residences, but many do not. Thirty-four percent of former Army soldiers cannot be tracked. The unknowns in the other services are in the single digit percentages.

"One of the difficulties that the military services confront is keeping addresses current," Stone said.

THEY'RE GOING TO RECALL THE ENTIRE IRR OF 280,000 DISCHARGED TROOPS, I BET. HEY, WE COULD INVADE SYRIA AND TEMPORARILY BEAT DOWN THE MEHDI ARMY WITH THAT MANY! (OCTOBER SURPRISE??)

JUST MEANS THIS IS TRUE MORE THAN EVER:

BUSH '04 = DRAFT '05
