My letter to those fine young men The Protest Warriors
Subject: Put up or shut up.

You boys look like a couple of healthy young lads. I suggest you demonstrate through action the ideals you ardently profess by joining our fighting men and women in the military. They are sorely in need of your support in the field. Now I wouldn't ask anyone to do anything I haven't done myself. So you don't have to sign up for a full four years as I once did. Hell, you don't even have to join a combat arms unit as I also did. Perhaps you could just drive fuel trucks or other support vehicles for a while, if you have the stones for that. What do you say? Proud patriots like yourself, strapping young bucks should be jumping at the chance to serve our country and help install Islamic Republics... er... I mean democracy to all those oppressed people in the Middle East. Hope to see you at the recruiters’ station. Let me know if you need any assistance finding one. Courage Conquers! Hoo Ahh!

Sincerely,
Former M1a1 Abrams Crewman
SPC Santiago Michael Olmeda

6. Oh, that was great.

"Protest Warriors:"

:rofl:

We have a local one; he drives around in a HUMMER. He harassed a local peace activist so badly that the peace activist MOVED.

They are SO ignorant.

I'd love for this local one to confront ME; this 5'2" mom would have the local police arrest him. He's not the only one with lawyer friends.

10. They sure are tough when attacking the weak & peaceful, aren't they?
Like the ORIGINAL Protest Warriors:



I cannot even begin to say how much I would dearly LOVE for someone like that to confront me. I LOATHE Bushevik Not-Sees as much as I hate their predecessors, the Original Protest warriors.

And I am NOT weak nor feeling very peaceful right at this moment!

13. Nazis: second only to the Greeks in homoeroticism.
Edited on Sat Aug-27-05 09:30 PM by Kurovski
But the Greeks were forthright about it.

The Nazi's used it to manipulate.

22. Exactly - Why not fight the terrorist instead of the peace activist?!
I have several family members in the service or have served - and they do not support the Iraq war. It's all these blowhards at home!

15. Heh, after reading about the PW that got tackled for carrying
a fake anti-war sign, I would love for them to try that shit with me. Im 6'2" and 300lbs. Im more than capable of taking care of myself. If they want a fight, I can direct them to the local recruiting office so they can sign up and get all the fight they want.

And that is exactly where they should go - to the recruiting office.

7. I don't know how well they'd do if they weren't cohabitating.
They're roommates, BTW.

9. Just one more vote needed...
Reasonable. Charming, even.

Everyone can get on board with this, even partisan Republicans.

12. Tekno, those cowards would piss their diapers if they got within 100 miles
of a combat zone.

They are cowards of the most disgusting sort (see my post above), and so you would not find them in harm's way.

But I think they'd make fantastic concentration camp guards, which is what they are in their gutless little hearts.

21. Brilliant!
I might be short, but I don't think they would have the guts to tangle with me, let alone show up at the neighborhood recruiter's office.
