Heh the BESS A.k.A N2H2 gave schools free censoring, in return for being able to sell all viewed pages to the Army.

Considering you have to register for the Selective Service thing anyways, they'd know where you live already...

EDIT: IIRC, from talking to folks who were/are stationed at Pendleton, the Marine Corps' recruitment figures are such that many people who would have liked to go for a second or third enlistment are rejected (several people I've had classes with at college have stated this happened to them). It's gotten to the point where some high-level people are getting worried about it, and expressed those worries in a recent issue of Proceedings...

Our Bill of Rights and Freedoms is not all that different from the American Constitution.  The American Consitution was studied in depth when the Canadian one was drawn up.  We just have more controls on guns and more government involvement in a variety of things.

But yeah, it can get cold up here and you American wusses would all go home :D

If the Pentagon is pulling stunts like this, I hate to think what schemes the NSA is up to........
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Oh, I think we all know what the NSA is up to. But don't say I told you, the walls have ears.

Well, a drafted army is not very good for interventionist police action around the world. First you have to train them A LOT (something that's not so difficult with volunteer army), then you have to equip them (which is expensive if you want to keep your technological advantage as big as it is right now), then you have to maintain morale among the troops ("hey wtf why are we here in butt****istan dying for no obvious reasons") as well as home front ("MAH BABY BOYH JUST GOT HIM KILLED IN BUTT****ISTAN OMG i say we hang them by their necks and kill em till dey die you leaders"), you have to be able to somehow explain the inevitable casualties to populace and so on.

A conscript army is pretty powerful political leverage which hampers interventionism, unless you're a 3rd world ****house or a dictatorial nuclear power (think Russia!).
lol wtf
