Uncle Sammy that is.

Military Retirees under 65 have to fill out this form so they know where we are if they need us. In order not to cause cardiac infarctions, they print THIS IS NOT A RECALL NOTIFICATION in 14 pitch bold-face type.

This year, they added a wrinkle. They want to know if I would consider a voluntary return to Active Duty just to get us through the current fandangos.

I said, "no thanks."

For the record, if I ever disappear from this board and/or OUr rockin' tailgates because my broke-down arse was recalled, you better make sure you are armed to the teeth and know how to hunt because Chinese tanks will have been spotted on I-40 on the outskirts of OKC.

I think the Russians would be content with regaining their territory lost when the old Warsaw Pact collapsed.

In truth, I don't think the CHICOMS want to conquer us. We fill Wal-Mart with too much of their stuff, then borrow money from them to buy it.

The Amish.

Homegrown terrorist cell waiting for their chance.

I kid you not.


Russians, Chinese, Venezeulans, Iranians, Amish.

in other words, they're conquering us economically instead of with their military...

I think it has to do with the fact I had a Regular Air Force commission.
