This is the 12th letter from them, sure to be more.

I would shot myself in the foot before I would go back.

1. If they have a prepaid envelope so you can respond
stuff it with anti-war clippings and send it back. :P

4. Good idea
I am last person they would want in the Army, didn't like it the first time.

This is really sad when the Army has to send out letters to people who have been out for years.

I will turn gay real fast.

17. Or singe the edges of it with a well-placed match
and then send it back. :P

2. I'm going to have to go with the classic "wipe ass and return to sender" call on this

5. These are all good ideas.
I know several people getting these letters, something must be in the planning.

My eyes would keep me out anyway, I am very nearsighted.

8. Re something in the planning, I am wary of a "skills draft" that I have heard about.
I used to work for the beast and I have kept a clean record and could get another clearance- unless they read the DU.

10. I know several people in the medical field who have been visited at work.
I almost became a medic, glad I didn't now.

I feel safe enough with my eyes and job, my boss would never let me go.

11. Forward it to Bush
Or if that is a hopeless possibility, I'm sure Rush, Jenna, Barbara, Karl, Dickhead, Sean Hannity or Annie, the blowup doll of the far right, might be interested.

12. Don't blame them for asking...
It's not as if the Army is in a position to give Dumbyass the finger.

Recycle it. Or use it to start a nice cozy fire in the fireplace. Or toast marshmallows with it.

I'm glad you're not there now! :hug:

14. Me to.
I have friends who can't get out, they have done their 20 to 25 years.

I told them that if Bush got in they should get out, to late now.

20. This is why that asshole should be impeached...
If he isn't, the door is wide open for any president, elected or not, to abuse our troops.

Who in the hell would want to join the military now?

18. That's sweet of you.
I wouldn't ask that of anybody.

The Army sucked then without any war going on.

21. As my Dad would say,
Send it back to them and tell them to stick it up their asses crossways.

22. RETURN TO SENDER!
UNKNOWN PERSON!

Write all this in big letters and highlight them. Maybe they will get the message.
