Army Post

As long as we're shilling other peoples' blogs, we simply must refer you to an excellent post by our prolific colleague, the King of Zembla. His post encompasses three articles concerning the military; the first is C. W. Nevius' SF Chronicle article about Army recruiters calling high school students in an effort to get them to jingo up; the second has to do with the recent Salon.com article reporting the shameful practice of wounded soldiers having to pay for their meals at Walter Reed Army Hospital; and the last is the story, recounted in a letter from a relative to MSNBC (scroll down to the bottom), of a reservist ordered to attend one of the inaugural balls while having to pay for his own lodging and meals.

Remind me again why so many current and former members of the US military staunchly support this maladminstration?
