Hungry for new recruits to bolster declining enlistment numbers, Army and Marine Recruitment offices from nearby Texas cities are sending military recruiters to the Counter Protest at Camp Casey this weekend. The recruiters anticipate a positive response from these patriots who surely wish to demonstrate their support of the war by making the ultimate sacrifice.

1. Weird . . .

. . . when you read something like this and can't quite figure out if it's real or satire.

sheesh!

[back2basics909]

2. GREAT!

To the person who called, what a fantastic idea! This will be fantastic, now if only we can get some media down there!

[Snotcicles]

Ice cooler with beer- check
Sandwiches and popcorn- check

82. Paging Michael Moore! Paging Michael Moore!

This is right up his ally! It'll make a great movie segment.

[Stephanie]

The only person of recruiting age they are going to find is poor Bethany

There are only three of them there and the other two are fogies.

[elehhhhna]

11. Their big war-loving bus comes in Saturday.

[walldude]

14. Isn't there going to be a whole busload of them

on Saturday? I saw a post earlier where someone called and told the recruiters there were going to be pro-war people in Crawford they could try to sign up. This was a brilliant idea. What better way to take the wind out of their blustery sails then to show the world they are nothing but talk...

[Justyce]

3. I would buy tickets to see that! :)

[Just Me]

80. *LOL* Yep. Hell, YES, I'd buy tickets to see that as well!!!

:rofl:

[wicket]

4. Excellent!

:kick:

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Let them put their money where their collective mouths are.

[whatever4]

7. Yeah. nm

[Roland99]

6. Perfect!

[getmeouttahere]

8. You'd think they would be all over this...

but the recruiters know better. They'll be at some shopping mall or Walmart in a lower middle class or poor neighborhood instead.

[corker]

9. I can't wait to hear their excuses...

[lildreamer316]

10. Is this for real??

BWHAHAHAHAHA!
:bounce:

[Lerkfish]

12. fer sure?

that would be great!

[Mad_Dem_X]

13. Is this for real?

OMG, I would love to see this! :bounce:

[Neshanic]

15. Inexplicably some guys change into Daisy Dukes.

Others pull a Ted Nugent.

[King Coal]

40. Oh shit. Not that.

[Wizard777]

16. I support that recruitment drive!

God Bless them! The Military really isn't as bad as Bush tries to make them.

[TankLV]

81. There is nothing wrong with our military - the rank and file

it's the repuke leadership that is the problem, starting with the AWOL-Deserter-coward CIC.

[iconoclastic cat]

17. Someone needs to go undercover and document the freeps' reaction

to the recruiters. I would love to see some tape of the pro-war twits turning down the recruiters.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. Wouldn't that be a waste of their time?

They won't be finding any takers among that crowd unless they plant them there. I'm sure they'll get a bunch of people claiming health reasons why they can't (chronic I-Just-Pretend-To-Support-The-War fever) others saying how all their family members are already in Iraq and loving all the candy and flowers, but no real recruits.

[mccoyn]

60. I would think recruiters are well prepared.

Convincing people who claim health problems to sign anyways and let the army docs make the determination should be par for the course to them.

[LSK]

19. oh please let the media cover this

Anderson Cooper should follow a recruiter at the counter protest for a day. That would be the ultimate!!!

[KerryOn]

77. Yea, it would be like Michale Moore....

... asking Senators if their children would serve.

[Flying Dream Blues]

20. If there are any Young Resmuglicans there...

I'm sure they have "other priorities"...after all, military service is "not for people like them."

[walldude]

48. Yeah they are too busy fighting the "battle for ideas" n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. I hope this is for real

they will run like chickens with their heads cut off

[NoSheep]

22. Shut up and quit talkin about patriotism and BE a patriot!

Ohhhhh it makes me smile! :7

[Imagevision]

23. Excellant - grab all the repuke patriots, before they run for the hills!

[sniffa]

24. i can't find this on either site

:shrug:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

27. The poster on the CPH board decided to remove their post

The PDF file still opens for me. :shrug:

Edited to add link to why the poster on CPH board removed their post.
http://crawfordpeace.nfshost.com/node/1397

I still can't believe they would bother to work that crowd, however.

[Karenina]

25. Maybe they snag them

a few yellow elephants! :bounce:

[buff2]

26. That must be satire

Both links show nothing.

[Ioo]

28. Link broken (NT)

[Alizaryn]

29. Is this for real?

Olbermann and Stewart need to hear about this.

[meganmonkey]

30. Oh please please please let someone film it

major netowrks, get this on TV it will be PRICELESS!

[marbuc]

31. Good

Maybe they'll get Freeper signatures mid "patriotic" orgasm. By the time they come to their senses it will be too late. Off to Iraq for you, whackos!

[jasmeel]

32. Maybe if we tell the counter protestors the recruiters will

be there none of them will show up???

[DanCa]

33. Thank you god .....will the Bush twins be there that day?

lets get them young republicans signed up so that they can fight.

[unrepuke]

34. I think anybody at Camp Casey could set up a card table

with the downloadable recruitment papers ready for when the freepers come around, and there must be a lot of video cams there...
sure, welcome them right on in and sign them up. In fact, why could they not invade their spider hole in Crawford and do the same thing? Try on tape to get some volunteers.

[CitySky]

58. this is a good idea

I'll go post it on the Texas forum. Lots of DU'ers headed that way!

:patriot:

[louis-t]

35. If only....n/t

[berni_mccoy]

36. WATCH THE CRAWFORD COWARDS RUN!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Snotcicles]

66. Watch 20 minutes after they get there, protesters side

doubles, Counter protesters side goes to zero.

[Gregorian]

37. Brilliant idea. Get thee enlisted, fools.

This country was created out of protest.

These protestors are pro-war, UNTIL THE WAR IS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY!

[Cleita]

38. B-b-bbbut, there's no one there.

Better they should head for El Rancho Pollo and have a nice chat with Jenna and Barbara Bush.

[Im_Your_Huckleberry]

39. it'll be interesting to see how many they actually sign up.

[samsingh]

41. is this wishful thinking?

i hope its real

[RSchewe]

42. Operation Yellow Elephant is in full effect. WooHoo!

http://operationyellowelephant.blogspot.com/

I hope this is true. Someone needs to get a camera there when this goes down. They will be light roaches when the lights go on.

[shadowknows69]

43. This is too good to be true right?

I would give a limb to be able to film this. Republicans will be breaking track speed records.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

44. Well, that should quell the "counter protest" for the chickenhawks.

Nothing like a little "put your money where your mouth is", or more aptly "put your ass where your mouth is".

Of course, the anal-warts will cover that eventuallity.

[mattclearing]

45. Is this some kind of joke???

It's like they are reading our minds or something. These people are just begging to be recruited :D

[ronnykmarshall]

46. They'll go home empty handed

This really is funny. I'd like to see how many (if any) of these so-call patriots sign up.

They should show up and those massive Freeper protests and sign them up.

[ernstbass]

47. How appropriate!

Happy hunting!

[RSchewe]

49. Just sent an e-mail over to Gen. JC Christian of Operation Yellow Elephant

If this is true he would like to know.

LOL

[kentuck]

50. That should cut down the attendance drastically...

I would think?

[The Witch]

51. On Randi right now

IS that a DUer talking about it?

:applause:

[Jeanette in FL]

53. It has to be

Isn't that great. Hope she logs on to tell us.

[Beaverhausen]

52. Is that you on Randi's show right now???

way to go!!!

[elehhhhna]

54. nope. RANDI'S GUEST, please check in!

[Verve]

55. That'll Clear out the Anti- Protestors pretty quickly!

It's easy to talk about defending the war, but actually enlisting? Many of these neocons are too chicken!

[Verve]

56. Micheal Moore needs to get down there to tape their reactions! n/t

[Ganja Ninja]

57. Gosh I sure hope they don't run out of enlistment forms.

I know how these pro-war/Bush types are just itching for a fight. :smoke:

[anarchy1999]

59. Oh dear god, they've nothing left. Damned them all. You will not get my

daughter. I'll take her across many borders before you get your whoremongering/warmongering hands on her. I'll die first.

Unfortunately for all of us a line is being drawn in Crawford. It is our new "Ground Zero". It is so incredibly sad for us all.

[Joanne98]

61. But but.....they're fighting the war HERE on our college campuses.

You know prayer breakfast meetings would be a good place to recruit too. Make note for later.

[Scout1071]

63. We are the media - send our own cameras! Come DU'ers in Crawford

get down there with your video camera's, please!

[B Calm]

65. Oh my GOD... this will scare the pro war protesters away.. Should be

a real HOOT!

[Shadoobie]

67. I worry that this could backfire

What if the bus is filled with more Pruitts. Mother's who have husbands, children in the military. The last thing we need are clips of mothers saying "Hasn't my family sacrificed enough?" etc. Just a thought.

Greg

[elehhhhna]

68. To which we'd answer "yes, you have sacrificed enough. let's

bring them home, it was all a lie. Come on over to our side--we're doing this for YOU, too."

[anarchy1999]

69. If true, this is rich. Peace and be calm and welcome them.

What absolute fun. I mean it. No one that has come to support Camp Casey or the Crawford Peace House should be disturbed. We should do our level best to help them "recruit" our new Soldiers. I just want a couple of IVAW's standing by their side.

This will work out, trust me.

[Miss Chybil]

71. Woohoo! Time for them to put their ass where their mouth is!

:woohoo:

[tlsmith1963]

73. Hey, They Love the War So Much...

...the recruiters will find *lots* of willing recruits! Oh, wait--they are Chickenhawks. I guess this will be a waste of time.:evilgrin:

Tammy

[Postman]

74. This is friggin' SWEET!! I wish their were video of this....

can you imagine the stories they'll come up with??

Ah,,Ah I have an anal cyst, I can't go. But I'll wave this flag for ya, does that count?

I'm fighting the culture war here. Why don't you get that brown skinned guy over there instead?

Ah, Ah I have other priorities, I'm getting married and impregnating my wife (if I have to, to stay out of war, in case there's a draft, then I'll immediately be against the war)

[KerryOn]

75. It would be interesting to see...

... how many recruits they actually get.

Somehow I think it will be very few.

[ignatius 2]

76. Ha,that is too funny..it would be something to see though

wouldn't it and it would be a damn sight more honest than faking a childs high school graduation to get him enlisted.

Okay,all you warmongerers,put your signature where your always open mouths are and sign the nice recruiters papers.

[ultraist]

78. While I love the concept...

I recently read something put out by Crawford House instructing visitors NOT to interact with the counter protestors. It seems that engaging in this capacity with the counter protestors would escalate things. As we've seen, they are some hot headed, violent, SOBs!

[all.of.me]

79. yes! get me a chair!

:popcorn:
