Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says that the number of times the Mexican Military has stepped over the border into the U.S. without authorization has been overblown: Reports of Mexican soldiers frequently crossing onto U.S. soil are overblown, and many of the incidents are just mistakes, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said.

Ted Rall has an opinion piece up at Yahoo News. Basically, his point is that no one should be allowed to join the military until they are at least 30 years old, because before then they aren’t capable of making decisions about wars and combat. As I write this now, at 42, I’m a different [...]
