Random Question
Somewhere, maybe Yahoo, I saw a link/headline for an article on "Recession Proof Jobs."
Now, I'll admit I didn't read the article, but I've read ones like it before, and they generally say the same thing.
I have just one question: how come they never mention the military in those articles?

The More Things Change...
The more they stay the same. Or is it that history repeats itself? Consider the following quote:
"Shake off the habits which are created by wealth and show that you are resolved to deserve the blessings of fortune by defending them."
Who said it, you may ask? President Bush after 9/11? Maybe an Army recruiter?
Nope. The answer is General Andrew Jackson, urging the citizens of New Orleans to prove that democracy hasn't made them too soft to fight, in 1814.
Just something interesting I found in one of my school readings.
