I just got a Recruitment Call for the US Army FROM INDIA!

A guy from India (says his name is Shane with an Indian accent and the 3 second delay) just called me to make a pitch for the US Army! He wanted to know what I thought about the US ARMY and didn't I know it's a great opporutunity to "get into computers, electronics, technology and engineering", and wanted to know why I wouldn't want to join. I told him I wouldn't join if he gave me a million dollars. I then asked him how much HE was making an hour, cause I'd prefer to have HIS job!

He wouldn't give up, and asked me if I was between 18 and 35, and I told him, sorry, I'm in my 40s. He then said accusingly, as though I was lying: "You don't sound it...you SOUND like you're 22!"

Then he asks, giving up on me: "Is there anybody else there who would like to join the US Army?"

When I continued giving him a hard time about the war in Iraq, his last line was: "Why don't you just go over there to the US Army and work?"



CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?! Outsourcing US Army Recruitment? And how has George Bush* gone this long without a draft?!
