Army Meets Retention Goal

You won't see much about this on the news:

Obleton knows about the Bush administration's often-touted long war on terror, and he's seen the Iraq insurgency up close. But he's determined to continue the fight. So on Thursday he will stand by the flagpole at Kentucky's Fort Campbell, raise his right hand, and swear once again to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies."

As he recites his oath of service, administered by the Army's No. 2 ranking officer, Gen. Richard Cody, Obleton will become the 64,200th Army soldier to re-enlist this year - allowing the Army to meet its retention goal a full month before the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30.

Hmmm..."support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies." I think maybe we need to send a few troops to Washington, D.C. There are several enemies of the Constitution right there, most with a "D" after their names.
