Your word and your "brothers" word is probably worth shit around here. As I said, anyone who suggests that our military was planning an assasination of our President because "they didn't like him" is clueless. Stick to faking deaths on message boards.

There isn't?

After that they had to lower the requirements to be accepted. They also started giving out huge bonuses. If there is no trouble recruiting, why are they so hell bent on keeping soldiers past their retirement age, why are they forcing them into extra and longer tours? Why are they giving immigrants a chance at citizenship by joining the army? Why are they recruiting gang members, allowing convicted felons in? These seem like things that would not be necessary if things were going all fine and dandy.
