Have you all seen this video of College Republican chickenhawk excuses?

Sorry if it's been posted already, but I have been out all day. I found it linked on Crooksandliars.com, as well as Atrios. I found it funny. Some kid tried to crash a meeting of college Republicans and pass out enlistment brochures.

1. you're not being sensitive to the people who want to serve but are unable

I heard the words, but I felt the intimidation.

2. Loved the freeper explanation

that there were some who really, really wanted to go but unfortunately circumstances were preventing it. My guess is that would be circumstances like riding around in an un-airconditioned, tin can Humvee in 130 degree heat while risking an RPG up the ass and all the while breathing in a bunch of Depleted Uranium laden Iraqi dust and sand, then coming back stateside (if the RPG doesn't get you) to father some deformed babies before succumbing to the debilitating diseases resulting from the DU contamination. Those circumstances would sure as hell be enough to keep me out of Iraq.

3. Or maybe the fact that the guy at the door was about 100 pounds overweight

That would prevent someone from serving too.
