We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost.

"I couldn't stand this other person I had become," admitted Page. "I cried all the time, and this wasn't me. I am normally a happy person, a vibrant person, and this just wasn't me. I knew I wanted to go to Iraq. I just didn't know how. Someone I knew informed me that the way to get to Iraq was by going to an Army recruiter. I didn't even know about basic training back then. I just knew I needed to go to Iraq to help." Despite mounting disapproval from her parents, Page realized she was solely responsible for improving herself. She researched her options, and made her decision from a position of strength and knowledge. She could stay miserable, or she could be earning more, getting an education or specialized job training - truly getting an edge on life. On July 3, 2004, Page enlisted into the U.S. Army at the Staten Island Recruiting Station - South Shore. Not only did she now share in the responsibility of supporting and defending the people of the United States of America, but also securing and preserving all the freedoms the American people hold dear - a burden in which she was proud to stand tall to shoulder. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/note_to_accessi.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/note_to_accessi.html Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:00:07 -0600   I hope that the US Army sent a copy of this story to John F'n Kerry.
