Multiple Tours of Duty - The cure for chickenhawkism
We all know them; the manly chest thumping patriots with their Made in China American Flags and their support our troops magnets. The one's that depend on limbaugh for their "knowledge." The ones who know everything about warfare, about how its really not that big a deal, otherwise why would people volunteer for such duty.

Unfortunately you won't get them in uniform short of a draft, because they cut and run at the offer of an enlistment contract. Send millions of them to war and liberalism would sweep America.

3. What if we had a copy of an elistment contract?
I'd love to download some and offer them to my local group of war lovers. There is a group of them who stand on the corner every Friday where I live waving their flags and showing their "support" for the troops and the war. Any idea where we could get one of those?
:shrug:

6. Now that's what I call customer service
and all for a good cause. Lets help those "patriots" find their calling. They probably just don't know how to join the Army.

5. Here ya go
I keep them handy in the glove compartment but I just can't understand why I can't get any "patriots" to take me up on the offer.

Its a four page pdf file. I also got a handful of business cards from the local Army Recruiter. They appreciate any help you might provide. I'd invite an Army Recruiter to join you at that corner on Friday.
