In Wurtzburg, Germany, Paul Wolfowitz had to listen to nonsense like this:
Bonnie McCarty said her husband is preparing for a yearlong tour of duty in Iraq. "When he comes back, does this mean in another year he's going to go back again because the size of the Army isn't big enough?" McCarty asked Wolfowitz. "We don't want to keep going through this."
I'm sure the woman's husband is mortified.
I would have liked Paul to remind her of a few things: The Army could always turn Germany into an unaccompanied tour and just ship all the families back stateside; Had she considered the spouses of sailors? How often are sailors home?; Her mouth is a good example of why hundred-mile-an-hour tape was invented; and U.S. Army spelled backwards is "Yes, my retarded ass signed up".
