Can anyone say....Draft
mmmmmmmm could beeeee.
An excerpt from the article:
As unlikely as it sounds, the Army is planning to try to convince parents that sending their beloved children to war is good for them. How? They are going to use slick marketing and propaganda, including:
Television advertisements focused on mothers, fathers, coaches, and ministers—people the Army sees as “influencers.”
Sending vets from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars on home visits with recruiters to tell parents “the Army story.”
Producing a video that highlights the voices of parents who tell viewers how joining the Army was good for their children.
A direct mail campaign to high school juniors and seniors requesting visits to discuss the benefits of joining the Army.

Hi Ben, I heard something about some lawsuits againts the Forces not letting soldiers out after they served thier time. Have you heard anything on this?
My cousin-in-law was sent home in time from Iraq a few months ago. He told me it was because the state of Massachussetts, his home state, had filed a lawsuit against the Armed Forces for damages from all the employees that could not go to work and still had to have the positions left open, payroll, etc..
Sorry I don't know more about this at this time. I'll see what I can find out.
thanks for the comment Dana
Big Ben
