JENNA & BARBARA BUSH SHOULD ENLIST IN THE NATIONAL GUARD!
The US Army recently announced that it has fallen 5,000 soldiers short of its National Guard recruiting goal of 56,000 for this budget year.
The National Guard & Reserves are being tested to the limits. Hurricanes in Florida. Borders & airports not secured. Who knows what other natural or human-created disasters might occur at any time? Do we have reserve reserves? Sure, but it would be tantamount to instituting a draft for veterans who have already put in their time. As a show of faith in America & in their father's policies, & out of a sense of duty to this nation, Jenna & Barbara Bush should enlist in the National Guard or Army Reserves. They are healthy, college educated young Americans, just what our military is seeking. Officer candidate material if they signed up for regular Army. They don't even have to join the Army. Navy or Air Force would be fine. We wouldn't expect Jenna & Barbara to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan, that would require too much special security (They could volunteer, of course). But it would be enough if the twins put in some serious service time here in the States, taking over duties of personnel now assigned overseas. Their father sends thousands of young people their age into harm's way, over one thousand have come home in caskets. Don't these two pretty young things feel the slightest twinge of guilt about spending their time flying around the country on the Republican National Committee (or daddy's) tab, staying in fine hotels, partying with other rich kids, sons & daughters of GOP big money contributors? Shame on you two young women - & you're Texans, too!
