Will these folks enlist to fight in their president's war ? (Pic heavy)

Go get 'em, guys!

If you've got names, send them too.

support a war from home but do everything you can not to fight in it.

College Republicans = Future Chickenhawk Politicians

He lived in a college town, so he saw little rallies like this all the time. Whenever he could, he would stop at these little demonstrations and start passing out recruitment fliers to the assembled masses. He said he was "poorly received".

Another would be to put a couple of fliers in those little RE boxes in front of 1/2 million$ + + + new homes. When one has that kind of money they just want to stay home!

:rofl:

What a good idea....if you think going to Iraq was so freaking great why don't you go as well!!! I love it

Of course he was!! Great story though!

how many people will STILL associate themselves with BushCo!

or were these pics taken before or immediately following the election?

Either way, let's ask them when they will be enlisting

Remember how in Farenheit 9-11 he went around to members of Congress with the marine recruiter? He should go around to College Republicans meetings and Support Our Troop rallies (with the recruiter).

Although, I would hope recriuters already go to Pro-War rallies, but who knows, maybe they prefer to try and sucker poor people.

"I would hope recruiters already go to Pro-War rallies..."

I doubt it. However satisfying it may be to imagine College Republicans being harassed by recruiters I'm sure that the recruiters are very aware that they would be wasting their time. They know the score.

"...maybe they prefer to try and sucker poor people."

That's probably exactly what they do. I think the truth is that during a war, especially an unpopular war, it's mostly people with no other options who voluntarily enlist. So that's where the recruiters go.

None of the recruiters were aware of this event.


Also, College Republicans refuses to put links to armed forces on their "Resources" page, not even in the "Government Jobs" section.

Contact information is included in the threads below, in case anyone else wants to contact these Armed Forces recruiters.

I would love to see that! Maybe not Moore though since they know who he is and don't like him. Maybe he could get an undercover person or something or have the recuriter go in and video tape it. I would love to see that!

gang signs to signify Dubya?

:barf:

The ones where Matthews aired his programs from colleges around the country? At the end of each program he'd ask the audience who supported the war and there would be tremendous cheering. Then he'd ask who was planning on enlisting and maybe one or two people would stand up, if that many. Sometimes none. And there was no clapping.

I never saw that but VERY VERY telling!

I never saw any videos of the broadcasts. But he'd ask those questions at the very end of the programs at the colleges.

I would imagine that they all have more important things to do like sitting on Daddy's bag of money and drive the Mercedes to the car wash.

That was not a pleasant image.

:evilgrin:

Thugs do have a way of sticking together - don`t they?

Not one of these white, christian pissants would would be willing to die for what they believe in; they would, however, send the less fortunate to do so. Draft Young Republicans Now!

Well aimed, perfectly executed friendly fire. Real soldiers wouldn't want wanna-be toughguys (especially those with the gang signs in pic #3) getting in their way.

Fucking punks. These little Nancies would shit their Abercrombies in a real war.

You aren't a gangsta. You aren't a tough guy. You aren't going to be insanely wealthy like Dick Cheney. You're a bunch of yuppie pampered cockspanks who don't know shit about shit. SIGN UP to fight for Der Fuhrer if you love that dumb fuck so much. When you come home with missing limbs, recurring nightmares or not at all, let me know if you'd still be a chin-up Dumbass supporter.

Dear goarmy.com:

Here is a goldmine of potential recruits for you:

http://collegegop.org/

These college kids are all gung ho supporters of George
Bush and the Iraq war. They will make fine soldiers.
Sign them up!

These pics again prove Howard nailed it.

Big tent my ass!

if they were in heavy gear in over 100 degree heat. Love Bush, fight his war, he loves you....

Funny how they never take the point when it comes to REALLY serving their country. :grr:

I wouldn't want them watching my six.

They actually had a chapter that met in the High School. Not a single one went to Vietnam and staged a protest celebrating students killed at Kent State.

Scheduled for the College Republicans' convention in Arlington, VA, next week.

Thankfully, it's summer now and our campus is (temporarily) free of them.

I picked-up some brochures from our friendly neighborhood blood-merchant... I mean Armed Forces Recruiter.

Did you know they have a special brochure to recruit musicians?

So, I gave out a total of ten brochures today.

I labeled each one with a "Yellow Elephant" sticker.

Eight of them I left on parked cars that had Bush/Cheney or "W" stickers.

One of them I handed to a woman getting into her car with her two little boys. I got out of my car and said, "Excuse me, this is for you. Make sure you enlist your kids when they're old enough. It's YOUR war, let THEM fight it." She took it from me and politely said "Thank You."

Well, I said to myself, "Man, you're a pussy. I bet you wouldn't get out of your car to give it to a GUY."

Well, maybe it wasn't too bright, but I did give it to a dangerous looking dude in a pick-up truck. He looked like he'd probably already been in the Army. I got out and said, "Excuse me, sir. This is for you." He said, "Thank you" as I dropped it in his passenger seat and got hurriedly into my car.

I figured discretion was the better part of valor and I shouldn't engage him in conversation.

Still, don't tell my wife, okay?

They're too busy with their summers.

Excellant article in an <what a surprise> overseas newspaper:

It's easy to be macho when you have nothing at risk. The hawks want the war to be fought with other people's children, while their own children go safely off to college, or to the mall. The number of influential American officials who have children in uniform in Iraq is minuscule.

You can still find plenty of folks arguing that we have to stay the course, or even raise the stakes by sending more troops to the war zone. But from the very start of this war the loudest of the flag-waving hawks were those who were safely beyond military age themselves and were unwilling to send their own children off to fight.

I don't know how you win a war that your country doesn't want to fight. We sent too few troops into Iraq in the first place and the number of warm bodies available for Iraq and other military missions going forward is dwindling alarmingly. The Bush crowd may be bellicose, but for most Americans the biggest contribution to the war effort is a bumper sticker that says "support our troops," and maybe a belligerent call to a talk radio station.

The president and these home-front warriors got us into this war and now they don't know how to get us out. Nor do they have a satisfactory answer to the important ethical question: how do you justify sending other people's children off to fight while keeping a cloak of protection around your own kids?

once, what My sister said when she heard what they were saying. Last Summer when I was at her house visiting her, I was watching C-SPAN's Washington Journal, and they had these two young conservatitves on because there was some meeting going on, and she sat on the sofa next to me. Throughout the whole interview, My sister was rebunking everything they said, and during one point one of them said they were going to join the army after grad school, and my sister said " What a F&*%ing lier, he is going do exactly what Bush and Cheney did...NOTHING!!!" I was somewhat shocked this stuff was coming from my sister, because for the most part, she kinda ignores politics. Well these pictures remind me, of what she about those young conservatives, because they are not going to join up, they only support assholes like Bush his policies, because they are chickens just like him, they are the REAL cowards, and I would like to see them get their asses sent to Iraq just punish them for supporting an asshole like Bush.
