"BRANCACCIO: Welcome to NOW.

U.S. Troops in Iraq 10 years from now? Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice refused to rule that out not long ago.

So where will all those troops come from? With the Army falling short of recruitment goals, ever more aggressive recruiting seems to be the Pentagon's answer to its manpower problem.

Military recruiters now have access to the personal data of most high school juniors and seniors. This all has some parents and educators worried. Brian Myers produced our report."

8. Fuck

I'm so sick of this.
It's getting harder and harder to read about the deaths and respond when someone posts, even though I vowed I would do it everytime I saw one.

Rest in peace soldiers, and may your family find comfort.
