See, some of my friends have wondered why people sign up for the military.

This is why. Because the military aggressively recruits to teenagers - who, let's face it, are slightly more likely to tend towards the naive side of things. Because it would be un-American to teach kids to weigh commercials and recruiting, or to see when they're being oh-so-subtly coerced. Because the military presents itself as an option - sometimes, they only option - for kids in poor areas, who aren't likely to go to college and probably can't get a good job, not unless they join up.

Hi there,

I just wanted to apologise about my unauthorsied posting of advertising for charity Discworld Teeshirts in book_icons on Monday night. I realise it was rude of me not to ask permission first, and thanks for being so polite and explaining why you removed the post.

I hope there is no lasting bad feeling about this.

I'm not still mad, no. And if you want to post icons there, or requests, or authorized ads, you're more than welcome to. *yawns* Me tired. I'd go to bed, except I just got up.
