College Repuke Chickenhawks Spill Why They're Not Enlisting
Edited on Tue Jun-28-05 08:26 PM by RamboLiberal
Wonder how they'll get around Their Leader's call to service tonight? Blumenthal nails them! Bush Youth in their own words! If you know any troops or troop's families - send them this article.

http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20050711&s=blumenthal

Collin Kelley: When I asked him why he was staying on campus rather than fighting the good fight, he rubbed his shoulder and described a nagging football injury from high school. Plus, his parents didn't want him to go. "They're old hippies," Kelley said.

Edward Hauser: "I know that I'm going to be better staying here and working to convince people why we're there ," Hauser explained, pausing in thought. "I'm a fighter, but with words."

Justin Palmer: "The country is like a body," Palmer explained, "and each part of the body has a different function. Certain people do certain things better than others." He said his "function" was planning a "Support Our Troops" day on campus this year in which students honored military recruiters from all four branches of the service.

Kiera Ranke: She and her sorority sisters sent care packages to troops in Iraq along with letters and pictures of themselves. "They wrote back and told us we boosted their morale," she said.

Cory Bray: "The people opposed to the war aren't putting their asses on the line," Bray boomed from beside the bar. Then why isn't he putting his ass on the line? "I'm not putting my ass on the line because I had the opportunity to go to the number-one business school in the country," he declared, his voice rising in defensive anger, "and I wasn't going to pass that up."

Hang on to these - and someday when these Repukes try to run for office - let's Swiftboat their chickenhawk asses.

They'll run against somebody who lost limbs in this war, and they'll accuse him/her of being "unpatriotic."

Yeah, if any of these chickenhawks tries to run for anything someday, it would be great to see these quotes come back to haunt them. :grr::puke:

5. Cory Bray is priceless...
translation: "I'm a rich fucking Repuke you asshole, my Daddy got me into the number one business school in the country! Poor blacks and hispanics fight wars and rich pieces of trash like me stay here and talk about what "hard work" it is, didn't you know that?? I'll just stay here, be a total pussy and exploit them for when I run for office someday!"

Fucking piece of garbage.

31. Most of the young republicans don't even know what war is.
Have them look it up in a book "Oh...THAT'S a war? Well umm...we all have a function you see-"

THEY have a function to not know what the fuck they're talking about. While everyone else who's seen war, and democrats who serve, DO.

Bottom line. :patriot:

concerning the war

It's a tie with "Allentown" and Dire Strait's "Industrial Disease" on the economy, however !

Edited on Wed Jun-29-05 05:26 PM by EVDebs
let alone an ice cold brewsky. I saw 60 Minutes the other night and the troops were going out in 'hillbilly armor' HumVees. Same day I read in the paper about V-hulled armored personnel carriers THAT SHOULD BE STANDARD ISSUE over there; the DoD isn't giving the top-of-the-line materiel.

These guys are going to be coming back and they'll be pissed-off.

More to the point, real leadership would be a real get-off-oil ASAP energy policy and stiff the Saudis a big one !

If Justin Palmer truly wanted to help the recruiters, he and a bunch of his friends should have enlisted. How the hell did he "honor" the recruiters -- with cupcakes and balloons?? Whatever the hell he did -- that doesn't cut it.

Kiera Ranke: She and her sorority sisters sent care packages to troops in Iraq along with letters and pictures of themselves. "They wrote back and told us we boosted their morale," she said.

What kind of pictures did Ms. Ranke and her sorority sisters send? Inqiring minds want to know.

Was it the morale of the troops that was raised or something else?

Otherwise typical language from the Future Chickenhawks of America.

44. Off to War
In 1965 the 1st Infantry Division was ordered to Vietnam. I did not want to go because I thought there was a very good chance of not returning alive. I said good bye to my parents and we set sail. My father told me before I left that Vietnam was nothing the US should be involved in. I agreed...as much as a nineteen year old could figure. I survived somehow. When the call came I went. Scared? To the bone. I figured I had experience hell what ever that is.

To all you chickenhawk, chickenshit, cowardly Repubs, who push for more war, get your Goddamn groove on and sign up or shut the "F" up.

45. The conservatives have a point, when they say
"It's better that we are fighting them over there, than in the streets over here".

Granted, its not even a likely scenario, but thank God.

Because these chickenshits won't defend America over there even though they insist that the war is protecting our freedoms and our very way of life.

I can guarantee you they wouldn't be fighting to defend the country here at home either.

They are pathetic cowards.

What an arrogant ass. He would still have the opportunity to go to school after he serves his four years as a Marine corps infantryman. I doubt he would have what it takes anyways. As a former Marine, I hope he enjoys the freedom that all our service men and woman have bought for him with their blood. He doesn't deserve it so I hope he chokes on it.

51. If one is opposed to the war, how does it follow that they should be the
ones to fight?

If one is opposed to the war, that person is being true to theirself if they refuse to fight.

It's the hypocritical repukes who support this illegal war and expect OTHERS to go, but they don't put their money where there mouth is!

Can anybody explain their "logic" to me?

(I know, there is none!)
