Be all that you can be...by not enlisting

So it appears that the U.S. army missed its recruiting goal for the first time since 1999, hmm.. im going to take a wild guess here. Could it be that more and more teens are realizing the ignorance and the stupidity of this on going failure we call the "War in Iraq"? Could it be that president Bush has placed more fear in the hearts of the U.S. citizens than the terrorists themselves? CNN news ran an article today quoting "U.S. troops are dying at a rate of two a day in Iraq, more than two years after President Bush declared that major combat operations had ended." Two a day is two to many. Its tearing apart families, morticians putting in overtime at the same amount of pay and most likely without health insurance as well. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Its shit. Appearently the army is saying that todays economy is offering attractive alternatives to many highschool and college students. One question. Whats so attractive about war and death? Is a college tuition worth risking your life and possibly the future of your spouse and kids for? To me the military puts a price on each indivisual soldier serving, with a college tuition and now even by raising the enlisting bonus. Dont get me wrong, I respect EACH and EVERY soldier over there in the desert right now risking thier lives, but damn enough is enough bring them home and let them pursue thier own American Dream, not the Iraqi Dream. Bush youve dug a hole and handed out shovels to each and every american in this country just take a look at your approval rating. ~ds~
