camels

I read some history today, which was new for me.

It was about the First Ride of the British Camel Regiment

First, Camel Regiment! I might even join the army if I could be in a camel regiment. That's some Lawrence of Arabia shit.

Second,

The decision to send Gordon cost the British Government dearly. A hero from his days fighting in the Taiping rebellion, "Chinese" Gordon, was a popular figure and a there was a huge outcry came from the British public to send an expedition to his aid. Soon, the British government gave in and tasked General Lord Wolseley to mount the expedition it had tried so hard to avoid.

Ok, I wish it were still acceptable to have nicknames like "Chinese".
I'd go for "Pakistani" Parcells. Because of my ideas for America East. Or "Irish Parcells" because of my love for potato products.

Bring back the draft!

Let's face it, the United States does not have enough troops to fight the Iraq war and the all the other wars we want to fight. Therefore, I think we should bring back the draft, since I am now too old to be drafted. As a male in his late twenties, I find most men between the ages of 18 and 26 annoying. Also, they are better looking, fitter, have less body hair, and have not had the rosy promise of their youthful dreams crushed like I have. If we draft all the young straight men in America, there should be more younger girls around for me to bother. Also, the people who are really worth hanging out with, like the rich, the entitled, the loudmouth radicals, the mentally handicapped, and the gays, will still all be around to entertain me. Fight on, young America!
