One Last Note From The Absurdity File
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A popular line of T-shirts at the Camp Stryker PX indirectly addresses the policy question of whether the U.S. military is stretched too thin by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The T-shirts come in varieties that say my brother, sister, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, mother or father is “over there,� superimposed on a map of Iraq. The latest models say my grandma or grandpa is over there.
When we’re sending grandmothers and grandfathers to fight overseas the question about the military being overburdened seems pretty well answered.
