911 truthdot, Interesting, our 11 year old’s little buddie showed up in a full modern camo military outfit just yesterday, Interesting…...

I seem to be the only one missing the point. Are these “peacetime” soldiers national guards or swat teams? Also, as peacetime regular armies are usually maintained and continue training even if not in combat, what is the point here? Or are these guys meant to portray the “advisers” and “trainers” and “on call” groups the army leaves intact while the Iraqi soldiers are supposed to be taking over responsibility for the war but aren’t quite ready? I would say, however, that our soldiers in Iraq no matter what their capacity are still in danger.

Boycott Sears!!

Through a licensing deal signed with the U.S. Army, Sears, Roebuck & Co. will
begin selling clothing from All American Army Brand’s First Infantry Division
collection.  The clothing, for men, woman, and BOYS, will be available in
October.  This is a first, as the U.S. Army has never before officially licensed
its marks and insignias. (1)
J.E. McNeil, executive director of the Center on Conscience & War, views this
first as yet another sign that our government is looking to recruit children
under the age of 17.  “We see yet again the military targeting younger and
younger children, particularly young boys, as they aggressively seek to ensure
more bodies for our current military conflicts and conflicts of the future. 
This is an illegal tool in the recruiting arsenal.

Women wear uniforms and carry guns too.  A fact about which I am ambivalent.

Another brilliantly caustic cartoon! And a tragic, yet truthful depiction of the inevitable imperialism that is our future!
