Army Has Increase in Deserters
Comments on above article from webzine reader:
Deserting solders indeed.
Let's see, it's their second or even third deployment --- within 30 months!!! DUH!!!
We've deserted them is more like it...
As you know, there are people that thrive on this action but not many are warriors. The rest become fodder, mental or deserters. What are those people thinking?
Did you catch the whining the State Department personal put up when they were suddenly subject to serving in the zone? Found myself standing in front of the TV, disgusted...
The service [mostly Army] is slacking off somewhat on it's hiring stat's, about 40% are now high school grads where a few years ago that number was somewhere near double that number.
[These numbers fog with time]
All of the admirals and generals are scared to death that the draft will reappear and there goes the soft, cushy job of control they have enjoyed for so long. Of course if the draft did come back --- well, you know what it would mean as for the re-training of the American male, etc & yada. eb

Nov 25 2007-Movie Review: August Rush
Two musically-gifted young people meet and fall in love in New York City. Circumstances separate them. Young woman is pregnant. She gives birth, is told baby is dead, but later finds out he is
alive.
The child becomes an orphan. At 11 years old(also musically-gifted), he finds his way to New York City and hopes he will find his parents through music.
The young woman, played by Kerri Russell, searches for her son and the young man, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, searches for his lost love.
Yes, a bit of a fairy tale, but a good movie.
Quote: Richard Jeffries(Terrence Howard): Why is it so important that you want him now?
Lyla Novacek(Kerri Russell): I've ALWAYS wanted him!
