Making tomorrows Military today: Sometimes even Generals need to be quiet

Sometimes even Generals need to be quiet

Please do not inflate the media's ego by telling them that recruiting is going to suffer NEXT YEAR. You don't know poo about poo, especially next year's poo.

Favorite line segment:

"It's very important that you and your colleagues use your considerable influence to explain to the American people and to those that are influencers out there how important it is for our young people to serve this nation at a time like this," Schoomaker told the senators.

"Some of us do that every day, general," replied Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a Navy pilot and prisoner of war during Vietnam.

Oh please McCain. You may be a "friend" of the military, but lately you are pushing yourself to the political center. All over a little pissing contest you have with Bush over having your ass kicked in South Carolina and elsewhere in 2000. If you do not watch out, it will happen again when whoever runs with Rove pulls out all of the stops against you. Until you get back in line with the rest of the party you will be labeled a troublemaker.

I heard on the news how desperate all the branches are to get recruits... I asked my recruiter why it is so hard to get in, especially to the Navy and Air Force. He said it was because they are downsizing and therefore going up in quality. Yet the media continues to tell us how "bad" things are. Isn't it funny how the media is wrong 90% of the time? And now they're calling an all-volunteer Army "unfair." What geniuses we have in the media!
