JC Christian Letter to Sub-42-Year-Old Congresspeople

Ouch. General J.C. Christian builds on the pending legislation raising the military enlistment age cap to 42, and sends a letter to Congresspeople under that age urging them to enlist.

I'm not sure how warranted it is in all cases, but the shrillness sure does sting:

Your service in the military will not go unnoticed. If anything, it will enhance your image with voters and your colleagues--think about all the kind things you've said about veterans like John Kerry and Max Cleland over the last few years. Certainly, your peers will honor you in a similar way if you return. If you don't make it back, you can at least rest assured that your family will receive the same treatment as Casey Sheehan's mother.
