In a rather macabre act by the Pentagon, the Army in gearing up for the "surge" has sent out letters to the families of 75 dead soldiers asking them to report for duty. You'd think with so relatively few casualties compared to other wars and billion dollar IT contracts for databases, they could at least keep straight who's dead and who's alive.

All joking aside, this is a slap in the face of those that lost a loved one to this stupidity and shows a little bit just how serious this administration really is about getting ready to go to war. I'm still trying to figure out where Bush is going to get his 40k troops to "surge" with, the Army and Corps say they got another 9k that could be ready if their rear rotation is cut short, but Bush thinks we got another 31k sitting around with thumbs up their asses somewhere...maybe that includes those 20k+ wounded/maimed that need to get back to the recruiting office. It certainly couldn't mean his own kids at least.
