Why do I hate the Bush Administration?

I'm one step ahead of you, Lookout! That's why I didn't really push the issue on the Army Times Board. If I were still connected with a member of the active duty military or on active duty myself, and someone came along asking all kinds of wierd questions about troop deployments, I'd be extremely cautious. Beyond a doubt, not making the times of troop deployments known is a good way of confusing the enemy. Whether it also serves to confuse a significant percentage of soldiers who would rather not go remains an open question. The lock down bit is what really gets me. Both times a million years ago when my Dad got sent to 'Nam, my Mom and I saw his plane off out of Peterson Airfield. I can remember being a little kid and crying buckets of tears and forlornly waving at the departing plane as if my Dad could still see me. The one reservist's wife confirmed that the men really do get put on lock down. What on earth for?
