Our Life on the Funny Pages

Secretary Rumsfeld has been "transforming the military." One of his things is to make the military run more like a business. Let me tell you! That drives Gen. Halftrack bonkers!!! He doesn't have any idea what any of these terms like "Six Sigma," "think outside the box," "synergy," or "paradigm shift" mean. He feels completely out of his league!

I'm starting to think Gen Halftrack doesn't like Rumsfeld! He would NEVER say that right out -- if he did, I'm sure his career would be 000-ver. But, he really doesn't fit in well with this "new" military. For that matter, no one at Camp Swampy really does, except our new guy, Gizmo. Sgt. Snorkel? Forget it! Lt Fuzz seems to like Rumsfeld's ideas, but he's kind of a brown noser!

I hope I'm not giving you the wrong idea about these guys. I hope you don't think they aren't patriotic or don't love the U.S.A! They totally do! So do I, and we also 100% support the troops. I know a lot of people think that when you say critical things about Secretary Rumsfeld or President Bush that means you don't love America. But I totally love America! And I always thought it was American to be able to question or criticize.

So, I am just glad to have this blog so I can say things like this without worrying about my job, you know?? I voted for Bush in 2000, so I'm not totally one of those loony Democrats or anything grody like that. Plus, I think the guys here, even though they are being left a little behind by the new military, a lot of them still voted for Bush, too. So, PLEASE don't get the wrong idea.

Gosh! I hope it's OK I said a few critical things!

God bless the U.S.A!!!!!!

XOXOXO!

Hugs and kisses from Camp Swampy!
