Last I heard , Mexican troops were supplying the drug cartels with weapons.  Of course that only happened after their supply from Eric Holder was disrupted.

I am to old, to feeble and to sickly to be in the military now...BUT....if they start letting the military kill the enemies of this country, both foreign and domestic, count me in again. May not be killing the domestic enemies that Obama and the DUmmies want killed but I assure you, they will be the enemies of MY country.

I got out in 72 but my finger and eyes still work just fine.

Well now days if you lived in Mexico and ran drugs for a living the DOJ would give them to you.

I joined the National Guard in 1980 and had plenty of fun but it wasn't paying the bills and I didn't join for some millionaire to get rich. In fact because of Jimmy the Peanuts economic policies there were not enough jobs around here for someone my age to stay employed so I joined up. after a year and a half there still wasn't any jobs here so I transferred to active duty. I joined them in August of 81. Not a great start there but then again I had to catch up to their standards of being on duty 24/7 and not just once a month. During the whole thing I saw as many good troops as I did dirtbags like the inmates on Skins Island. They all got kicked out for things like drugs or messing with other guys wives to stealing equipment and other things from the Army.  None of us did it for anything but because we wanted to and because it was a job and better then being a basement dwelling, jackoff liberal. I saw both sides of the world and most of the US because of my time in. After 23 years of National Guard and active Duty I can enjoy what I have coming to me unless 0 cuts that too. Masternumbnuts hates what the military does and stands for then he can get the **** out of this country because those of us that served even if we never fired a shot in war are better men and women then he ever will be.

What it boils down to is the DUmmies who have commented in this thread 1--never served, 2--if they had (and I've my doubts) were such ****ups they never should have joined in the first place.

Bottom line, the military isn't for everyone, which is cool.  But don't think you know jack shit about what we do and why we do it, let alone rate the ability to speak for me, which rest assured, DUmmies, you never will.

Nah, she really didn't choke it.
Jr and Martin anticipated, and got their energy built up for the passes.
Good clean race.

What a boring waste of an afternoon.

One little dustup early in the race, and then four hours of a Formula One car parade.

Was there an actual pass for the lead all day long?

The NFL is already starting to fine anyone who makes a tackle.

I guess now NASCAR will suspend anyone who bumps into someone else.

The only entertaining thing all week was the guy getting bumped from the lead Tuesday, then having an on-camera meltdown.

Funny that the article should mention Kyle Busch in its' last paragraph.  The Heiress loves the M&Ms Number 18.  When my wife and I explained to her that Busch couldn't win the race, she had an epic meltdown of her own.  It was pretty funny (at first).

They could call up a draft if needed.  Babies have to have a SS# and parents must list them on their income taxes.  It wouldn't be hard to get enough soldiers.  Wilson couldn't get enough people to enlist, so he conscripted them for WWI.

Good point.  I suppose they could combine the Selective Service and Social Security registrations into a single transaction, and deal with anyone claiming an exempt status or deferment only when the actual situation of a call-up occurs, which is an extremely remote possibility anyway.
