Funny; I remember playing Army when I was a kid. Didn't mean squat when it came to growing up and becoming a soldier, though.

Another thing that bugs me about this article: "swoon."

When, before Obama, was the last time you ever heard of anyone "swooning?" Now, in theory, women are "swooning" everywhere.

In reality, a half-dozen or so women have fainted at Obama rallies. These rallies are very large and very tightly-packed. When I was a kid, I routinely passed out in church in the summer because the air was so "close." I don't recall anyone suggesting that I was "swooning" over Father Murphy.
