...to describe their efforts to participate. Will you be enlisting? If you're too old to enlist or otherwise unacceptable to the military, will you be trying to join the civilian effort in Afghanistan? If you've already served in the military, but are qualified to re-enlist, when will you be doing so?

If you're a parent, will you be urging your children to join the military to help with the important work of empire that needs to be done in Afganistan? Will you be volunteering to help support the effort some other way, such as sending additional money to the Pentagon? The nation's treasury is straining, folks!

Let this be a thread in which all DU supporters of the president can describe the sacrifices they intend in support of the war in Afghanistan, so the rest of us can thank them for their service to America!

I'll start, but I'm actually implacably opposed to the war so I'll be looking for opportunities to volunteer support for the antiwar effort, and I'll be volunteering to support alternative candidates for president in 2012, but that's just me. Nonetheless, my partner's son joined the Marines a couple of weeks ago, so like it or not, we'll be sending some cannon fodder as well!
