Personally, I like This Modern World's take on the issue better than the Onion's.

800,000 Privileged Youths Enlist To Fight In Iraq
Anyway, I vaguely recall reading the army is basically against the idea of a surge, since 20,000 troops isn't going to help diddly. Anybody got a link for more info?

Because being a career service person doesn't pay enough money which correlates to the amount of pootie tang you can get.
Which means by the time we are old, I bet no one will care if the presidential canidates served in Iraq or not since the all the veterans will be dead or not large enough to care.

Usually getting contracts involves bidding so low that no money is actually made.
