9. Thanks BOSSHOG. Getting on to high school graduation time.
Would love to hand them out to some young freeper types about to be released from their cacoons. Also think they would make lovely gifts for the rah-rah-war-squad that graduated 1-3 years ago and cannot find any little foothold in life despite the fact that their hero bush tells them the economy is just peachy. ;) They were all for the war so long as their asses were safe and somebody else's son, dad, husband, grandfather, daughter, mother, wife, granny was doing the fighting.

Now they look so sad and lonely, wandering aimless around town, finding out that they are not as important as they thought they were when people came out to watch The Big Game every weekend. They can't find work to support themselves in the manner to which they think they have a birthright. They could use some pals. The Army would be just the ticket ;)

Seriously, I really grieve for the young people. They don't have much of a future right now. But for the ones who were all gung ho when they were safely occupied here, sign up or shut up! For the ones who challenged anyone who asked pertinent questions about the policy of invading Iraq, called them names and thought them unAmerican, I say, humiliate them by offering up the form when they prattle their talking points. Offer up the forms in front of others and then let the big mouths know YOU will drop them by the recruiters FOR them, ya know, as a kindness for their patriotism and all

:evilgrin:

I saw too many friends off in the 60s & early 70s and didn't get to welcome enough of them home to be gentle with loud mouthed chicken hawk louts who decry dissent as un-American! All for a bit of public humiliation for the die hards who won't learn.
