You mean the recruiters never used a line like "Well, in theory the National Guard could be called up, but that hasn't happened since World War II"?

I'm just saying that every effort has been made to disguise the true cost of this war from the public, and that groups who approve of the adminstration's social agenda are not making any effort to address this.

Personally, the desperation to ship mommy off just shows how much manpower is being stretched. I guess she's lucky to have been able to wean the kid.
