Back-Door Draft?

That’s what Senator Kerry called it, and that’s what it looks like. Quoting from this site: The U.S. Army has forced about 50,000 soldiers to continue serving after their voluntary stints ended under a policy called “stop-loss,” but while some dispute its fairness, court challenges have fallen flat.

Color Me Yelled At

Why is it that the only open physical appt for a month is on the second-busiest day of the second semester?  Today was the 100th day, and I had to leave at 1345.  (figure it out.  Military time makes SENSE.) Why is it always the day you have to get naked, that the doctor is
