Don’t worry,0’b is thinking of NOT paying military retirees and Soc. Sec. retirees. Feel better now? Pay 10 dollars a gallon for gas and swear you’ll vote for the raghead again.

Draft notices!!! Man, I got my draft notice in the mail at my mom’s house, 6 weeks AFTER I was already in basic training!!!! Somehow the draft board did not know that I had already joined up!!! :-)

I got mine about two months after serving 4 years of active duty. I enlisted just after my 18th b/day and the recruiter had told me not to bother to register for the draft. About two months after I got out, I got the notice that said I was being drafted due to failure to register for the draft. I had some 'splainin' to do at the draft board but did manage to get it straightened out.
