Volunteer army, my ass

[BanzaiBonnie]

My neighbor came over to till my garden yesterday. When he was done, we had a catch-up chat.


Two years out of high school, no money for further education, no vocational possibilities and not able to find work, his son signed up for the army. The twenty year old is in basic training and then it will be off to a foreign desert somewhere.

The dad is worried sick. He said, "What else is there to do. What else is there when you can't find work. "
