Marines Not Allowing Re-Enlistments?
This week I spoke with a Marine who had served in Iraq. He wants to re-enlist, but has been told by the Marines that they are no longer allowing re-enlistments, because funding has been cut. He is having a hard time realizing that although he and his fellow military volunteers were successful in Iraq, that isn't the template the media has used in stories about Iraq. I have not seen anything in the media about Marines having to disallow re-enlistments, have you?

No I haven't heard a word but Bob read Rudyard Kilping's poem entitled Tommy. It's been a hazard of the military for centuries. They are only necessay when the fighting starts and written off when the fighting stops. Just ask a Vietnam vet about that.
Bob,
I have some feelers out to find out about this.
