BTW, the ARMY and the AF are already at there recruiting levels for the next fiscal year.

not only that, but this isn't a regular war that a deluge of soldiers is going to help.

which might also explain why the FBI application numbers are rising instead.

Hey gut, maybe this will help.

ane arranged to be interviewed by Barbara Walters on June 17, 1988 on 20/20. The fact that Barbara Walters was married to Merv Adelson, CEO of Lorimar Telepictures, the company that marketed Jane's workout tapes had nothing to do with the selection of Walters said Fonda's publicist Steve Rivers.

16 years after her Hanoi tour, Jane Fonda appeared on 20/20 and was interviewed by Barbara Walters.

"I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of things that I said or did," Fonda said. "I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I'm . . . very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families."

Behind the scenes, Jane was filming "Stanley and Iris" on location in a number of New England towns. The production efforts on the movie were being severely disrupted by protesting Vietnam veterans and thus causing serious problems in the making of the film.
By the timing of the apology and by the primary reference to the New England veterans, was this a truly heart-felt apology or just another acting scene from the film to help the production efforts?

Some may come and some may go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

You got the wrong book DJ.

Direct result of your liberalism, Sandman. Enjoy the bed you liberals have made for us the last 30-40 years.

How many wealthy conservative sons and daughters are joining the military these days? I grew up in a wealthy, middle class suburban conservative town and I could probably count on one hand the number of my peers who chose military service, and most of those went the ROTC route -- not that there's anything wrong with that

I suppose people could be failing to join because their liberal ideology discourages such things. Or perhaps they're just part of the greed and ME generation, which is not quite based on liberal ideology. It funny, the more money someone has the more you're considered a loser if you choose military service out of personal conviction.

I imagine that you'll find as many less affluent inner city sons and daughters of liberals in the service as you'll find less affluent sons and daughters of rural conservatives.

As a side note. A jarhead I went to high school with (John Johnson)was busted in the early 1990s trying to sell some very likely mundane and useless satellite tracking beacon to the Soviets. What a maroon.
