cspan caller just said that 50+ yr. olds should go to the front lines

[mopaul]

and not enough people are joining the army and marines. i wonder how old he is and if he's registered?

1. I hope Rummy doesn't get any ideas

Being a 56 yo Army Vietnam War Vet is maybe not a safe age. :(

[Vinca]

2. Gee, I might if I was promised health insurance.

(Kidding, kidding.) This must be the same caller who told Springer he thought women who have abortions should go to jail for life for murder. It's amazing the number of unstable folks in the population.

3. What do they expect to get

out of my 52 year old bones? It takes me 20 minutes to focus my eyes in the morning.

4. Was he referring to all the 50+ yr olds in Congress and the White House?

:evilgrin:

5. good -- now Cheney and Bush can serve! n/t

6. Sounds like a college repunklican

"Anyone but ME! Pater got me in to Wharton, I deserve to stay home! You! poor 50 yr old, go defend my freedom!"

7. Goody, goody. Won't have to work at Wall*Mart after retirement.

Who needs Social Security when you have lifetime employment? No matter how short that might be.

8. If they ever try to take this 50+ year old ...

the front line will be my front door. The Bush junta can kiss my ass.

9. "Fuck it..It Don't Mean Nothin'"

I said it like everybody else did back during the "Vietnam era" and I'm saying it again!

Rumsfeld said, "troops from Vietnam War conscription added "no value, no advantage, really, to the United States armed services"

We didn't Mean Nothing! The People whose names are on that wall in Washington don't Mean Nothing, to the country, according to that Son of a Bitch,(rumbo)who is still sitting up in Washington taking a big paycheck from the taxpayers and in return the bastard sits back on his no good fuckin' ass and watches Halliburton fuck over the Troopers, who are fighting for their lives again, in a rich man's fucking war!

To That Lying, Green Toothed, Mother Fucker, running the DoD, those soldiers in Iraq DON'T MEAN NOTHING! If they did, rumbo would be raising holy hell, but NADA!

I'm sorry about the foul lingo, but God Damn...these pigs piss me off to no fucking end! I'm trying to see through these bitter tears that keep welling up in my eyes as I type. These are not tears of sadness, or self pity, they are tears of outrage. Every time I think about what that self serving bastard rumsfield said about the soldiers who got drafted and did their best, I get very fucking upset!

It "didn't mean nothing" to that lying no good prick in the white House either...or he would have showed up when his country needed him...

10. Cool. I'm not old enough to be drafted then. n/t

11. I had a recurring nightmare

after I was given a CO discharge in 1972 that the military had made a mistake and were bringing me back. Maybe dreams can come true.

12. They say they aren't like Nazis

Then turn right around and crank up Der Volkstrum.
