A Personal Note on the US Problems
by Mike the Usurper at 8:29 pm EDT, Aug 31, 2005

I just got home from work a few minutes ago and got my mail on the way in. In my mailbox I found an Army recuruitment letter asking me if I wanted more information on signing up.

Now I'm sure I got this because of the signup information when I downloaded America's Army back in 2001, but part of that was a survey that asked things like age, etc. They should have been able to connect that back to my Selective Service registration, or even when I went in looking at the reserves just getting out of high school.

Where all of this is going is, if the Army is so hard up that they're looking for out of shape guys closer to 40 than 30 with dependants and jobs, then we're in a hell of a lot more trouble than they've been saying publically. This is NOT a good indicator. Either that that hard up, or they're paying no attention to the demographics they collected. They're also ignoring the fact that I haven't played the game in 4 years. Any way I slice it, this is not a good sign.

And oh yeah, I'm leftist pinko scum with no respect for authority. I don't think I'm really the guy they want in any case.
