Bush, Rumsfeld Call More and More Americans 50-70+ to Iraq

Doesn't this seem a little sad? Especially when you consider we have NEVER had war situations where we've called 50-75 year-olds back to active duty like the Bush-Rumsfeld crew.

From MSNBC:

A grandmother in eastern Iowa is getting one last call to duty.

Janet Grass, 52, had planned to retire from the military in about 10 months after spending 19 years in the U.S. Navy Reserve. Instead, she has been ordered to leave her job as a special-education teacher in Cascade to do security work in the Middle East.

"They're changing my career just as I'm retiring," she said.
Gee... perhaps Barbara Bush at 80 could be drafted. She looks a bit like a Bradley tank, don't you think?
