31. More accurately
Her sisters son is fucked. If this woman is typical of the breed, she secretly hopes he DOES go to Iraq. It gives her something to crow about and lots of excuses to be at the center of everyones attention. I swear I meet more RW "drama queens" than of any other stripe.

4. All Marines are technically infantry
That's how they are all trained, even if you are given a job as a dishwasher.

8. On one hand, how dumb she must be. On the other hand...
...how sad and frightening that a member of your family will be in so much danger.

Edited on Sat Oct-22-05 02:51 PM by Jara sang
Air force airmen and naval personnel. The entire Marine Corp is cannon fodder, what the hell is she thinking?

21. Maybe genetic throwback. Or mom was having some fun on the side!
LOL! Kidding of course. We tease my husband about that---maybe his biological dad was really the milkman or some other liberal, cuz he's not at all like his dad or bro. ;)

18. Hmmm my brother will be most interested
He has served two tours and he was in avionics.
His second tour he was thrown into a unit that wasn't even his because someone was unable to go and got stuck driving supplies.
I'll shoot him an email right now and tell him he didn't have to go after all.:sarcasm:

19. Thus the need for a draft,
to finally shut up these shrub lovin' deluded cretins.

Sorry to hear that sister has this issue.

24. Should I give you another rant about how I hate
Bush?

Bush is a dolt, a puss-pocket, a lunkhead and a smirking buttlick. When he spits and hisses as he speaks, and smiles that shit-eating grin, he makes my skin crawl and my stomach turn.

Hate doesn't describe what I feel....contempt does.

LOL - I have more if it will make you feel better.
:hug:

25. She is in Dreamland....
my sister-in-law thought her navy medic son wouldn't be going, either, but he is. He is the medic for a group of Marines. God only know what he will have to do. It's a nightmare!

Is he too afraid to actually go defend our freedoms?

29. Someone in the family has to hold those values.
So, congratulations and sympathies, sunny one, you took the job. The conflict is the face of what it represents underneath. I look for metaphors for information.

30. One more RWer in for a very, very, very rude awakening.
We are going to be seeing a lot of doe-in-the-headlights looks in the very near future, as the kool-aid wears off. And the hell of it is, we have to be nice to them and welcome them to the fold as they do catch on.

32. You're different because perhaps you inherited the critical thinking gene?
I cut off contact with my family 20 years ago because they are toxic -- right wing nuts.

When the blinders come off (and sometimes it happens) these folks become enraged.

The bushies don't have to worry about the "liberals" but rather their own base, the right wing nuts who are drinking the koolaid -- these are the ones who will go nuts and try to storm the White House etc. There will be a tipping point when they can see through the curtain and see there is nothing there except a bunch of really rich guys who have been laughing at them all along.

38. My mother is so very smart
Edited on Sat Oct-22-05 09:01 PM by leftchick
this is what really amazes me. My Mother is one of the most prolific readers I have ever known. And she reads everything! The fact that she watches faux 24/7 shows how a normal mind can melt down. :(

33. My brother in law the Marine went 3 times.
He's a diesel mechanic out of Camp leJeune. Everyone's gotten to "play in the sand" in the last two years, and they'll get to continue.

Her son will be going, and he will be there repeatedly.

don't give in to her drama - just send your nephew care packages with lots of books. When Mom dramas out, remind her that you, too, love your nephew, and so do the 200,000 other parents of deployed personnel in the region.

34. "OMG she is that fucking stupid!"
Is a thought I have about my wing nutty mother all the time, and I worry about what will happen to our already tense relationship if there's a draft and my son, who is now 16, gets sent off somewhere to be physically and psychologically maimed or worse and to do those things to others who didn't attack us.

And so what if it's not Iraq? It's not a good thing to feed the war machine.

39. Friend of mine who is a paralegal for the National Guard
just got shipped out 2 weeks ago direct to Baghdad.

Her teenage son would like to know just how badly they need paralegals over there.

Marines will go DIRECTLY to Iraq.
