HELP WANTED: BUSH HIRING 21.500 TO SERVE AS AMMUNITION IN BAGHDAD


HELP WANTED: BUSH HIRING 21,50O TO SERVE AS AMMUNITION IN BAGHDAD
As we watch the news emanating from the television screen and read the daily newspapers, one has to be a vegetable not to see that the over 3,000 lives wasted in the war in Iraq are those of young Americans that chose the army to escape a life of poverty.

As was published recently in the New York Times, photographs reveal that most died in the prime of their life. They were babies from19 to 30 years old.

The volunteer army has been used as a vehicle to attract young people with offers of travel, and a future of improving their life. The government propaganda to lure these kids must be the envy of the advertising agencies of Madison Avenue.

As it is well known most of the youngsters lost in Iraq were Afro-American, Latino and poor white. These people were sold a bill with insufficient funds. The government is using them as political ammunition.

People who love and care for this country must be united and support Congressman Charles Rangel's (Chairman Ways and Means Committee), bill to bring back the draft. Why should the poor carry the burden of the misguided policy of the government? With the draft, everybody will have to serve. The present system is geared to protect the privileged families of this country. How many members of the United Stated Senate and Congress have their sons and daughters serving in Iraq?

The President of the United State is a draft dodger. During the Vietnam War, it was convenient for him to avoid serving in Vietnam
by joining the Texas air force. Records show that he was actually AWOL from that unit too.
Now, our brainless president announced that the United States Army has an opening for 21,500 young kids to serve as sacrificial
lambs for his misguided policy.

If you are unemployed, he is offering a job to enjoy the beauty of exotic Baghdad. All expenses paid if you live long enough to cash the checks.
