A brief interchange I had with the lesser of two evils at WTAM's morning
show.

Yesterday, I fired off the following:

To: Wills, Bill; Coleman, Casey (Cleveland)
Subject: What's wrong with this picture

Over 55 million people supported George W. Bush's handling of the war in
Iraq.

Estimate a third of those voting are physically capable of donning a
uniform and picking up a rifle (meaning that they're not too old and not
disabled).
Halve that, if you don't think women should see combat.

That leaves approximately 18 million recruits (9, if you only want to
count males).

So why are the military recruiters having problems filling the combat
boots?
There are 9 or 18 million "patriots" out there who are going "Not me!
Let someone else fight the war I support!"



This morning, I got this:

Good point

Thnx

casey


Don't know if it made the air - one time before, I had e-mailed Mr. Casey Coleman, and he read it on the air.

Of course, I'm not using my real name, nor my real addy . . .

Whaddaya think?
