"Ready, waiting, wondering; ROTC cadets signed up after 9/11, eager to serve. But with wars winding down, will they see action?" by Bella English, Globe Staff | September 18, 2010
Yeah, what if they gave a war and only Israel came?
Alex Guittard was in the seventh grade when the country was shaken by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He made up his mind: When he was older, he would join the military and fight the bad guys.
Here is a news bulletin for you, kid: Muslims didn't do 9/11; Israel and her agents in the U.S. government did.
As a high school senior, he applied for a scholarship from the Army, and when he got to Boston College he joined the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps.

But in the three years since Guittard signed up, the situation has changed dramatically, and there is a good chance that he and his fellow cadets will not deploy to a war zone after all.
So says the lying, war-promoting, agenda-pushing paper. Pffft!
After seven years of fierce fighting, the last combat soldiers left Iraq in August, and President Obama has said that the troops in Afghanistan should begin returning home by next summer....
Well, our guys are still be killed in Iraq and that last one is a flat-out lie.
Some cadets feel the Iraq war was a mistake, and note that many generals and admirals have also voiced their disapproval....
No, it was NOT a MISTAKE; it was (and is) a WAR CRIME!!

I think you boys are going to get your chances.
Just because the lying newspaper is telling you the wars are over so you will vote Democrat in November (as if it matters) doesn't mean it is over.
You think the PNAC globe-kickers set this all up to bail on the last part -- attack on Iran?
See you overseas, kids. Hope you don't come back in a box.
