I'm sure it was a mistake but there's very little doubt that recruiting for a war that will never end is probably a hard sell.

SAUGUS, Calif. - Sonia Goldstein was flattered by the nice recruiting letter asking her to consider becoming one of "the few, the proud." But at age 78, she believes she's just a little old to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Well considering Rush, Colmes, and O'Reilly are much younger . . . she can just forward it. I imagine Malkin, Coulter, and Ingrahm would LEAP at the opportunity to serve their country.:laugh:

The letter told her the corps could use her unique language skills, but also warned that life as a Marine would test her physical and mental abilities "beyond anything you've ever known."

"There I am with my walker. I can't maneuver from here to there without it," said Goldstein, who added that her only language is English.
They were probably referring to the fact she correctly filled out our Medicare Part D application . . . most people had no idea what it was talking about.

She could bap Zarqawi over the head with her walker. No one's ever watched British comedy? :)

Why is this even a thread? The government always screws up stuff like this and it's really no big deal. I get social security letters even though I'm only 28.

Start collecting now man. By the time you retire the well will be completely dried up the way we are going. :)
