How to Screen Military Recruits
Patrick and Elliot have posted the story of a soldier in the Texas Air National Guard who now seeks objector status. This has led me to invent a new screening procedure for applicants to the military:
During the first phase of the interview process, the applicant is taken to a rifle range and handed a gun. He or she is ordered to shoot a sheep on the range. If the applicant fails to fire (no kill required), he or she will be asked to leave and the application denied. After all, if you can't shoot a cuddly animal on command, how can we count on you to fire when you have a human being in your sights?
P.S. The sheep carcass will be donated to a soup kitchen to feed the poor.

6 Amendments:
How could you advocate the death of a sheep? I mean, those things have feelings, a life to lead, a family to raise. If your idea were to come about, I'd protest the senseless killing of the sheep by standing in for them. "Take me instead,you brutal millitary type person!"
Thought I'd get on that one before the PETA guys showed up. ;)
mmmmm sheeeeeeeeeep.
Jay,
The post that's really going to get PETA riled up is coming later this week. Jenna inspired me, and I've got a really disturbing proposal waiting to be unleashed.
"Unleashed?"
Please, please, leave the dogs alone!
This coming from the guy who couldn't even kill Danno in Time Splitters

Please note: I did not advocate shooting a crippled sheep.
