An Army of losers


Waiting in Kuwait for a flight to Baghdad.
Well apparently I work with an Army of losers. According to Andy Rooney on 60 minutes that is. He based this claim by the stating that the Army is scraping the bottom of the barrel to meet recruiting goals. He said that the Army has granted thousands of "moral waivers" for those individuals that had been convicted of crimes. Mr. Rooney also said that the army represents America and that america's image abroad is damaged by a "growing Army of losers". An interesting though, but I wonder, what was his stance on impeachment? From what I remember, didn't the President commit a crime by lying to a grand jury? And doesn't the President represent the country abroad? Himm? Good ole' Andy seemed to be very much in favor of giving him a morale waiver. Of course, he said that the Army was greatly improved after he and other upstanding citizens joined the Army in 1942. If it wasn't for the fact he would break a hip, I would recommend the old hypocrite climb in a truck over here and take a trip outside of the wire--he'll see exactly what kind of losers these outstanding tropps are

Andy may consider them losers but we certainly don't. We are so proud of all of you and the work you are doing and the sacrifices you are making. Our satellite has been out at the office the past week (thanks to the bad weather last weekend) so we've missed alot of the news. We have to catch up at night. We continue to pray for you. Thanks for the information you put on this site. We find it very informative.
