Unless you're disabled, you have no fucking right encouraging others to die in your stead. If you weren't cowards, you'd be in the military, not whining about Kosovo or some other bullshit. The Army's recruiting isn't getting any better, and they need YOU. Not the kid from Wal Mart, not the ROTC grad. They need war supporters to take this seriously and walk away from their lives to serve their country directly.

But that won't happen. Because they are cowards. They hide behind the bravery of others and use it as a shield to deflect criticism. "Why if you attack my views, you don't support the soldiers."

My reply to that is "fuck you, gutless bitch." I've never heard a soldier run behind civilians to defend the war, so why are you hiding behind them.

4. Recommended for the greatest page

Thanks for pointing this one out.

[Fleshdancer]

5. I've never had a thread of mine recommended before

it feels pretty good. Thanks! Be sure to click on the link I provided too...I just cut and pasted a particularly good part from the middle but the whole thing is a great read. The Dailykos site points to it too but I wanted to link to the original source.

[tavalon]

7. I already did

I recommended it after reading the whole thing. You're right, you picked out some of the meatiest parts but the whole thing is spot on.

[tavalon]

8. And to add to my above comment

Bling, you are now on the greatest page. It seems two other fine DUers felt this was worthy.

[Swamp Rat]

6. Now you know what some of my conversations are like...

in line at the grocer.

You support Bush? Then get your yellow ass to the recruiter!

[understandinglife]

9. Got my vote for recommended. Crystal clear.

Peace.


www.missionnotaccomplished.us - how ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

10. Thanks for posting this...

...a very good read.

[me b zola]

11. THIS should be posted at fox.com

THIS should be shouted from the roof-tops. Outstanding piece of writing, WOW.

[Fleshdancer]

12. I want to see someone post this on free republic

it would be deleted pretty quickly, but the idea of having a screen capture sounds funny as hell.

[hvn_nbr_2]

18. You could post it as a "How should I respond to this?" query

Or don't they get that intellectual over there? Never go there myself.

[Fleshdancer]

19. that would be a good idea

I rarely go over there and I've never opened an acct over there before. hmmm...it would be fun.

[hvn_nbr_2]

34. It just occurred to me that doing that might get some fun responses...

for us to laugh at and mock.

[kster]

13. wow. just wow

sorry I had to steal your word's "knowbody0" but I'm speechless right now. This is so right on.

[Fleshdancer]

14. wow. just wow is the only thing I could think of after reading it

the subject of chickenhawks makes me so angry that it becomes difficult to articulate how I feel. This guy was able to say exactly what I have been feeling for the past two years.

[AuntiBush]

15. Exactly! Nominated!

[lonestarnot]

16. Precise pontification!

:toast:

[nonconformist]

17. Love it! Stated perfectly.

Nominated.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

20. nice. kick

[MsUnderstood]

21. I was thinking of a nice LTTE today

Memorial day has come and gone--what did you do to support your troops:

A) Purchase a sticker for your car (made in Mexico at a cost of $.01 and sold for $5 at your local pharmacy) that will fade away in the summer heat and be forgotten in a few weeks when it needs to be replaced.

or

B) Wrote a letter to your federal representative demanding these politicians support the bills coming through that increase and provide benefits for the wounded returning from war, sent a care package overseas, or made a charitable donation for a soldier's cause.

Ah I know memorial day is for the dead, not the living. Those fine men and women only need our moral support. Our job in the States is to talk of our support, not show it.

How did you celebrate Memorial Day?

Anyway, something like that. Idea came to me seeing these beat up flags still flying from cars and faded yellow "support our troops" stickers all over.

[Fleshdancer]

27. I like that a lot

you should write that up.

[NMMNG]

22. Right on!

Recommended and kicked
