Apocalypse again -- call up the Vietnam vets
Where else can Bush get 21,500 trained soldiers for his 'surge'?

LISTENING TO President Bush's speech on Iraq earlier this month, my first thought was: "Where the heck are we going to get 21,500 more soldiers to send to Iraq?" Our Reserves are depleted, our National Guard is worn out, our Army and Marine Corps are stretched to the limit.

Then it hit me: Re-up our Vietnam War veterans and send them.

They're trained. They're battle-hardened. Many already have post-traumatic stress disorder. Also, some have their own vehicles — Harleys mostly, which are cheap to run, make small targets and are highly mobile. I'll even bet that lots of these guys still have guns (you know, just in case).

OK, some vets are a bit long in the tooth (or don't have teeth — because of Agent Orange?). Or their eyesight isn't what it was. Or their reflexes have slowed. But with today's modern weaponry, how well do you have to see?

Too out of shape, you say? Listen, if Rocky Balboa can step back into the ring at age 60, all these Vietnam War vets need is a little boot-camp magic and they'll be good to go. I mean, who doesn't want to drop a few pounds?

Don't want geezers fighting for us? Well, let's face it, our young people have greater value right here. Most of us want to retire and collect our hard-earned Social Security, and we need those youngsters here, working and paying taxes — lots of taxes.

Finally, these Vietnam War guys are hungry for revenge. After all, they fought in the only war the U.S. ever lost. And they didn't even get a parade. So this is their chance. We can throw them that big parade when they come marching home.

No not to read. But the Times Sunday paper Weighed in at about 10 lbs. It was excellent for starting my BBQ except for Whitfield's page. I saved that just in case I ran low on Toilet Paper!

Believe it or not he's pissed off so many LA people that he travels most of the time with a body guard. He also makes sure he drives WAY AROUND LAPD'S AO because he's gotten under thier skin so often, they want to give him a real ass wippin! They will to and then make it look like an accident! Whitfield is Pond Scum.....

Scumbags crawl out from?....
Thats wy Nam vets are piss and meaner all the time.
And then they blame us for their misuries.
.............. Eagle................

I figured that it just had to be bad satire, but Jinks comments suggest that it may not be. As a satire is would have a little black humor to it. As a serious piece, it makes the guy a nutcase.

Maybe the guy is just a male version of Ann Coulter - just tries to piss people off to stay in the news.
