The idea that you can "Be All That You Can Be" isn't very appealing if you have to be it in a casket.

To me the most distressing part of this story was two photos accompanying it (you guys reading it though AL.com didn't see them, I guess). There are two shots of pictures of recently-signed-up recruits. Forty-one smiling young faces (22 are black).
"An Army of One, Albeit in Several Pieces." You're awful.

Iraq scares me. Who would want to go there.

I love it when a thread comes together. There aren't many rimshot opportunities available these days.
