200,000 men already trained...why don't the repugs bullshit them back into the benifits of education, health care, see the world...and lastly..uncle sam (wants to fuck) you...just re-up..simple.
If they'd give these boys a helmet to live under, we wouldn't have to strip the nation of our national guard. I think it's good to have a few armed boys around to send out to guard our nuclear power plants, dams, electrical and water supplies if we need them.
But I also think "once burnt...twice shy" or that other one the prez couldn['t figure out about haow many times you make a fool of him before he catches on...the even those supurb liars the repugs hold in cages in the cellars under the halls of cogress couldn't manage to recruit them.
What a travesty...these slimey bastards who ran this government dancing to butch/cheney all time hits should be sent to the front lines to check for landmines...let them do their two-step through the hills and dales of Iraq.

Young, alienated and often living on their own for the first time, Iraq and Afghanistan veterans increasingly are coming home to find that they don't have one. Already, nearly 200,000 veterans—many from the Vietnam War—sleep on the streets every night, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. But young warriors just back from the Mideast—estimated around 500 to 1,000—are beginning to struggle with homelessness too. Drinking or using drugs to cope with PTSD, they can lose their job and the support of family and friends, and start a downward spiral to the streets. Their tough military mentality can make them less likely to seek help. Advocates say it can take five to eight years for a veteran to exhaust their financial resources and housing options, so they expect the number to rise exponentially in a few years. "Rather than wait for the tsunami, we should be doing something now," says Cheryl Beversdorf, president of the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.
The problem is mainly a lack of resources, advocates
