1. Bush ''gamed the system" |
|
...On July 30, 1973, shortly before he moved from Houston to Cambridge, Bush signed a document that declared, ''It is my responsibility to locate and be assigned to another Reserve forces unit or mobilization augmentation position. If I fail to do so, I am subject to involuntary order to active duty for up to 24 months. . . "....... Lawrence J. Korb, an assistant secretary of defense for manpower and reserve affairs in the Reagan administration, said after studying many of the documents that it is clear to him that Bush ''gamed the system." - Like he's doing now. Sounds like now would be a good a time as any to fulfill his obligations. I suggest he return to active duty, without safety equipment. It what he's asking his troops to live through. I say give him a taste of real life.

The guy posted a link to it on the homepage today, after I guess compiling the list himself. There is such a clear difference between the likelyhood of Republicans and right-wing pundits having served and Democrats having served. Yet our guys aren't "real men" the way Republicans are. Go figure.

That's because real men realize the consequences of their actions. Real men know that shooting off guns means people die. Real men know it's not a fucking video game that can be turned off. It's real lives and real homes being ripped to shreds out there.

5. So true. Real men can eat quiche as well :-) |

And real men can cry. I have one of them. That's what made me fall in love with him on our second date while watching the movie Mask with Cher. Haven't stopped loving him yet. :bounce:
