Now that the Macintosh has joined the ranks, "don't ask, don't tell" is in full force. (it is just a joke macaddicts...I support macs as part of my job...)

... KABOOM!!
Blam blam!
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
Nyyyyyyyyooooooooooooo BOOM!
Gee, the US hasn't had conscripts since the '70s so maybe you have no idea what you're talking about.
Btw: unless you want to categorize Rush Limbaugh as a sunflower-loving hippie, mac users are a bit more diverse than the stereotype.
1 left liberal, 1 post, 2 wrong stereotypes. Bleah
I wouldn't expect as many Mac users would be potential conscripts
Considering you have already voluntarily joined the army of Steve Jobs and even paid (a lot!) for it, i don't think it's that far-fetched...
Steve Jobs: You will buy this new expensive Apple Gizmo and you will like it!
Mac Users: Yes,Sir! We will buy the cheese grater look-a-like, Sir! Have our life savings, Sir!

"Either way, go point one in your face and pull the fucking trigger."
Damned stupid argument.
Either way, set off a thermite reaction on your scalp and see how quickly you melt.
Just because something will kill you doesn't mean it isn't functionall different from something else that will kill you (and, yes, I know a revolver or a

He did, after all, get a free pass from Vietnam because he had an ingrowing hair follicle. On his bottom.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
If you get really high scores, do you get a knock-on-the-door in the middle of the night and whisked away to a secret CIA training camp? ;-)

You think this is bad, just wait until "F/A-18 Hornet: Operation Iraqi Freedom" ships. Actually, I heard that the Windows version just shipped.
Some of us have joked that there won't be any air-to-air combat in in.

Hey, we're not talking about Clinton bombing an aspirin factory on bad info here! He's not even President anymore.
Oh... oh, you were talking about Bush.....
Does this remind anyone else of the 80's movie The Last Starfighter where the goofy kid living in a California trailer park gets the high score on a video game and gets recruited by the "Star Leauge" to save the Earth or Universe or Star Leauge or something like that?
This really could become some next generation of recruitment.
I mean, think of the possibilities for NASCAR to recruit top scorers for Gran Turismo, or the National Football Leauge to recruit top scorers of Madden 2004. Heck, if you can wiggle your fingers fast you must be able to do the real thing too. I'd hate to get in a kick boxing competition with the high scorer of Dynasty Wariors 4. I bet that overweight 12 year old would use the old A-B-A-B-B on my ass and the next thing I know he'd be holding my beating heart in his hand!
All of a sudden I miss the 80's
I only came here to do two things; kick some ass, and drink some beer...looks like we're almost out of beer.
Join the Army, they said.
See the world, they said.
I'd rather be sailing.

To make this game perfect it needs a few things:
First, when you try and log off, you should stand a good chance of being told you'll have to wait another month or six before you can stop playing and attempt to log off again.
The reasons given for your missions should bear little to no relation to reality.
Massive extra point bonuses for securing oil wells.
And most importantly, if you die you never, ever get to play again.
Insanity is the last line of defence for the master diplomat. But you have to lay the groundwork early.
. . . but only if I can fight against America.
Otherwise it's kind of boring.
The beauty of hypocrisy is you can practice it, decry it, and admit it all at the same time.
