Have all your bush supporting neighbors joined the Army?
I asked this question several months back and the answer was NO! I don't understand. Surely they have flooded the Army Recruiting Offices by now, just dying to serve the just cause as carefully explained to them by bush, cheney and their various spokesmen, limbaugh, hannity, coulter etc. Gosh with all that patriotism headed for Iraq we should have them all home by Christmas huh? Its such a shame I served 24 years and all I got to show for it is a tattered but standing constitution and an ACLU membership card. I wish I were a conservative so I could be a real patriot.

2. No, they are the beautiful people who don't want to get their hands dirty
Patriots from a safe distance, of course.

3. My asshole neighbors
run a marine recruiting event every summer to try and entice the children of our town to do the dirty work for The Cabal.

5. Only one young lady from my whole county has enlisted in 3 years.
Going into the Air Force. One young man is getting OUT of the Air Force, he hopes. A bunch of reservists are over there and more are going. They make up a huge percentage of our emergancy first responders around here, so between them gone and our Guardsmen who are serving, we ARE NOT safer around these parts.

One fool reservist thinks he can get out on a hardship because he has a young son. Think he is about to find out BUSHCO doesn't care about him or his son.

Too many people STILL don't get it, BOSSHOG. The yellow ribbons are fading and the flags on antennas are tattered as the young and able around here drive in circles, trying to fill empty hours. Nobody has to deal with rationed supplies. They don't fight the war agenda because it hasn't been any burden at all to them.

There are less than 8 registared DEMS in the whole county... and only one young lady enlisted in the past three years. And the kids drive around in circles thinking 'We're #1'

8. I carry copies of DD Form 4.1 (enlistment papers) everywhere I go.
Just for shits and giggles I like to place them under the windshield wipers of vehicles with * bumper stickers.

11. I suggested that to two of my buddies...
They gave me dirty looks and said no. I figured they got the point so I dropped it.

12. Pshaw!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl::rofl: :rofl: :rofl::rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Although, I speak of fellow workers. I don't speak to any of my neighbors on my short, dead-end street, with the exception of the one and only veteran.
