Military recruiting among evacuees for Iraq!

[Manix]

<snip>

"Ten U.S. Army recruiters are offering volunteer help for Katrina evacuees at Houston's Astrodome. But the recruiters, struggling to keep enlistment up during Iraq war, are also available with options for the jobless. "

1. That's fucking desperate on the part of the recruiters.

I hope not one of them signs up.
Good lord, what has happened to our country? :cry:

2. Told ya ...

I called this a week ago. Look it up ...

[Joe Chi Minh]

7. Yes, but we thought you'd have to be joking!

[theHandpuppet]

10. Yep -- I was taking bets...

On how long it would take the military recruiters to swoop down on the evacuees like vultures.

3. Their schtick is "Join the Army...See the world...Miss the Hurricanes"

and you too can be in Iraq installing an Islamic government when your fellow countrymen need you here.

4. They truly have NO Shame.

"Options for the jobless?" Fuck off, recruiters. Preying on people when they are their most vulnerable -- when they have NO Options -- is reprehensible.

You forgot to add the others part. This spin and bullshit gets quite deep here too.
