Since Palin always mentions the troops, imagine if they quit their missions like she did
Edited on Wed Jul-29-09 04:56 PM by zulchzulu
I was thinking about this today.

Palin always wants to play the "Troops" card when she goes on her phantasmagoria-laced tirades. Yes, she did resign but that will not be the last of her based on the apparent love affair she has with the Theocratical GOP Base, Birthers and other halfwits that still think she is telling the truth about quitting.

Speaking of quitting, imagine if the troops, which Palin always admires with a heaping serving of jingism, quit their missions, ran from their posts, went AWOL and then said they were doing it to continue being soldiers in some other capacity, as Palin infers with her leaving her post halfway through her first administration.

Now troops can say they support Palin and want to quit right in the middle of battle so they can be a soldier on the sidelines... and still expect people to honestly not question their ineptitude or cowardice.

So maybe the troops should quit, as Sarah Palin feels that quitting is somehow an honorable trait. She's apparently one of the biggest fans of our troops, since she makes sure to remind us weekly in various media circus sideshows she is spotlighted on and what continue to pollute the media bloodstream.

Quitting... that's what Palin must want for our troops. Otherwise, why on Earth would any of them admire her?

Colombia

And lots of other places come to mind.

8. ZZ, it's been my experience
that some people unrecommend ANY post that has to do with "She Who Shall Not Be Named." It's kind of a kneejerk reaction.

9. She quits because of being called names and asked tough questions
We wouldn't have a military left if the troops followed her example. Thank goodness they don't.
