Reply #14: I think I am going to go too!

I am going to call my brother in Vienna and tell him to expect houseguests for a few days. I am hoping that this will be a huge protest event, and that other cities around the country and the world join in. I know that * doesn't care, but at least some Congress people would see and have to respond. Plus, I want to do it for me. I keep getting all these recruitment letters for my kids.

I got one from the Marines that offered a free backpack if we would respond. I responded and asked them if my son joined up with the Marines and went to Iraq and got killed, would I still get to keep the cool backpack. (Okay, that was vicious, but I couldn't help myself.)

Today I got one from the Navy. "We can accelerate your life ... in 30 minutes." (Like I haven't heard that from a sailor before.) If we just call the Navy recruiters we get a 30 minute phone card activated. The gall of these people. Send the free phone cards to the guys already serving, for chrissakes. Honestly.

Hey Kleeb, you're that age, have you been getting recruitment materials?
