We need to start sending enlistment papers to any senator or
congress critter with kids old enough to serve in the military. Give them a reason to either open their mouths or put their kids asses where they gutless politics lie.

This administration wants to start a bunch of shit with Iran. There's a thread on here today about how the Air Force is taking over traditional Army functions because the Army is all 'tapped out'. How will this situation be remedies? With a damn draft.

So lets start a 'draft' of our own. Where can we get enlistment forms? And if the kiddies, nieces and nephews, grandkids, whatever, don't sign up then they better have a damn good explanation as to why not. Because as highly as I think of Chelsea Clinton I think Momma and Pappy Clinton need to talk her into signing up just like they have no problem with the kids of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public signing up for a war that they support.

Oh, and as for Barbara and Jenna. Not that I think that they'd be much of an asset to anything, they are LONG LONG overdue for reporting for duty.

1. Yes, I agree. This would send the right kind of message
Just think if each of them received 10s of thousands of enlistment forms from all around the country.

Where to get them? The post office, recruiting stations, online, too, I imagine.

3. Thanks. I can't open the link though. Says it didn't initialize properly
or some shit like that. It's been happening a lot lately. My Acrobat Reader seems to have gone to hell in a handcart.

Know how I could fix it by any chance???????

4. Do you have the latest version of Acrobat Reader?
The form opens fine for me, but I would not consider enlisting again.

You can get the latest versions here for MAC & Windoze.
