I think the US marketing folks should have to drop the phrase "all volunteer" from their campaigns referring to the US Army.

It's not all volunteer anymore. There are 13,000 people currently serving that cannot leave the military, despite their service requirements being fulfilled.

Before you sneeze... I have no problem with the US saying you can't leave the army. No one is going to be showing up in droves to head over to Iraq. But we need to keep on doing whatever it is we do over there.

I just think the army should own up to the fact that the US Army has a fair number of people in it that'd rather not be.

Also, the US Army has been lurking around E3 trying to convince people war is like Ghost Recon.

Apparently, they had a display that featured a decked out marine in a Michael Bay combat scene with the slogan, "No Princesses, No Power Ups, No Cheat Codes". Next to that were a couple of recruiters with new haircuts.

Short one today... too much else going on at the moment to ramble on.
