U.S.: Soldiers Failed to Report for Duty

ROBERT BURNS

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - More than 800 former soldiers have failed to comply with Army orders to get back in uniform and report for duty in Iraq or Afghanistan, the Army said Friday. That is more than one-third of the total who were told to report to a mobilization station by Oct. 17.

This does not surprise me. I had a conversation with a senior NCO freshly returned from Iraq. He was extremely angry about the entire thing and said he would never go back there.

By the way, TW, Hitler did NOT win a majority of the vote. 22 million Germans voted for other parties, 17.5 million voted for the Nazi's. The Nazi party got more votes than any other single party, but not more than all combined. One must also take into account that Hitler managed to have two of the parties against him outlawed just before the election was to take place.

It is certainly true that Hitler managed to get a great deal of popular support, especially among the younger crowd, but there was a sizable number of Germans who did NOT support him, but were cowed into silence.
