Note to Terrorists: Please Don't Attack Us; Our Ass Isn't Covered

From CNN:

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has issued a report to Congress that said the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts could hamstring the U.S.'s ability to fight other wars, and that future campaigns could last longer and produce higher casualties, a senior military official told CNN. White House spokesman Trent Duffy reiterated Tuesday the president's belief that the military is prepared for whatever it may face.
Elsewhere, probably on today's Democracy Now, I was hearing about how high school recruiters are coaching students to lie about drug use, mental problems, and health issues that could keep them from being accepted into the military. Some kids have even said they were coached on how to lie to their parents if Mom and Dad voice concerns about their children joining the non-stop war machine named George II.
