Me and what army?

This page noticed an interesting promotional item while watching the Seattle Mariners 10-8 win over the LA Angels last night: "Thursday, 7:05, vs. Oakland A's - Salute to Armed Forces Night: Military Personnel $10"

Ten dollars? This page thought that those $700 toilet seats and the Iraqi Occupation would eventually catch up to the American Military, but wow! I never realized they'd be getting rid of so many people, maybe it really will be An Army of One. And for ten bucks a troop? Why grab a premium beer at Safeco Field for $8.00 when one could pick up a fighting man or woman for just two dollars more?

At that price, this page can easily afford a decent sized militia. Make no mistake, my neighbours will keep their stereos turned down and their dogs cleaned up after, because I will no longer be afraid of a military solution...
