Pam Spaulding highlights an ad that the Pentagon took out in the Washington Post that said the Army is seeking linguists with a specialty in Arabic. Well what a coincidence, you dolts.

Military intelligence is, and always has been, an oxymoron. I been dere, done dat, so I can say it.

They (the USAF) kicked me out of a critically undermanned communications job back in '87 because I didn't conform to their 1954 actuarial height/weight chart; I wasn't fat, didn't disgrace the uniform, wasn't unhealthy.

It's been going on for a long time and they seem to enjoy cutting off their nose to spite their face...
