Dems to file FEC complaint over Sinclair's anti-Kerry effort
Baltimore Sun
"The owners of Sinclair Broadcasting aren't interested in news -- they're interested in pro-Bush propaganda," says the Democratic National Committee's Terry McAuliffe. The DNC says it will file a complaint today with the Federal Election Commission about Sinclair's plan to air an anti-Kerry film just before the election. Sinclair veep Mark Hyman says of the documentary: "This is news. It is what it is."

By an astonishing 72 to 17 percent margin, the active-duty military personnel who took the survey favored Bush over Kerry (Guard and Reserve respondents favored Bush, 73 to 18 percent). Frankly, the margin greatly exceeds anything that I or any other analyst had expected.

LOL...Terrific

I still predict 80:20 by election day.

This is more a question for unclewest but......

We had a Vietnam Vet and his wife over for dinner Saturday night. We talked about the VN war and the military. He said that for the first in 30 years he has been able to openly discuss that war and what it meant to him. (he was a sniper, and saw lots of action "in the north.")

When we were discussing the draft, he told us that once a person signs up for military duty for the United States government, he/she could be called up for duty for as long as they live should the need arise.

Could anyone link me to the military contract that enlistees sign, or is it not available?
