WTF??? I support Bush and War... But I won't send my kid to WAR!!!

[Rainscents]

Staff Sgt. Jason Rivera, 26, a Marine recruiter in Pittsburgh, went to the home of a high school student who had expressed interest in joining the Marine Reserve to talk to his parents. It was a large home in a well-to-do suburb north of the city. Two American flags adorned the yard. The prospect's mom greeted him wearing an American flag T-shirt. "I want you to know we support you," she gushed.


Rivera soon reached the limits of her support.

"Military service isn't for our son. It isn't for our kind of people," she told him.



People like her make me want to puke!
I got this off KOS web site.

:argh:

1. Ugh

"Isn't for our kind of people". That's so disgusting. So are they saying only poor people should be in the military?! Sick.

[Booster]

4. What she really means is only poor BLACK people should be in

the military. In her mind they can't do anything else - what an ass.

[Cleita]

7. Poor people and not of their ethnicity.

Life is cheap as long as it isn't my life or family.

[donco6]

2. Well, of course it isn't.

It's only for those *other* people who have no right to live.

Not like *we* do.

I mean, really.

:sarcasm:

[Mr_Spock]

3. Right wing elitist of lefty taking a stand?

The language is still disgusting either way...

[DBoon]

12. a true leftist believes no one should fight in this war

this war is not meant for humanity.

[The Magistrate]

18. This Is A Little Off Topic, Mr. Boon

But that is my all-time favorite cartoon....

[rumpel]

5. * world

[cssmall]

6. So, it's okay for my cousin, who comes from a drug broken home

to go off to war and get injured whilst her boy and family gush their fucking pride? Fuck them, fuck them, fuck them. There is a special place in hell reserved for people with their fucking attitudes and they'll be there with Bush in the long run. If that is not a sign of the difference between conservatives and liberals, I don't know what is. And, they fucking say we hate this country. They should be the ones that feel as if they're criminals.

23. You are absolutely right!

Michael Moore tried to find out how many members of congress have sons or daughters in Iraq. Al Franken has wondered, if this war is Iraq is soooo important to Bush, why aren't his daughters over there? Last week a Princeton professor on the Al Franken show, who has a son in Afganistan, said it was very insenstive for the Bush girls in evening growns to do a spread in Vogue magazine last year while the children of so many Americans are coming home maimed or in boxes. He's right. (BTW...Do the Bushie babes even work?) If these people can't even respect fellow Americans, how must they feel about the innocent Iraqi who have also suffered. These elitist snobs are ugly and contemptable. There is some things missing in Bush and all who support him.

Not a multimillionaire, sorry, you're expendable. And, by the way, if you are injured while in the service you have our thanks, but your veteran benefits disappear once you make an enormous $25,000 a year. Have to keep making sure the rich have those tax cuts! Sorry!

[cssmall]

24. I pledge to thee my service in exchange for title and land, sir.

And, I live in the barony of Walton, in the fief of Arkansas. People don't even understand what feudalism really fuckin' is. The American Military is little better than conscripts, which is why I say we need to disband the professional military.

Do you hear that you motherfuckers in Freeper land, I said it, disband the God damn military, we've got enough cops, agents (DEA, FBI, CIA, etc) and the volunteer army that America used for so damn long with no trouble. Or do you wanna keep it, so we have an easy imperialistic attack wing with expendable troops?

[FreedomAngel82]

26. It is disgusting

And I haven't heard of the Bush girls doing anything either. One of them was supposed to do student teaching or something but I haven't heard anything about that. :shrug:

[WillyT]

8. Her Kids Should Be Drafted, Just For Her Making That Remark !!!

And if she wants to save them, then she has to go!!!

:nuke::argh::nuke:

FUCK!!!

Oh... I so wanna kick something right now!!!

:mad:

[Rainscents]

11. I feel your pains!

People like her is what is so disgusting! :nuke:

[Norwood]

9. Outrageous...yes

Surprising...Nope.

[Erika]

10. My upper class GOP friend

talked her son out of going into the military by buying him a race car and paying full college tuition. She didn't want him to take "those risks".

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. War and taxes! Only for the little people!

Get with the program! :yoiks:

[I Have A Dream]

33. Great quote and how true! n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

14. Senator Sanctimonius would be proud

He needs all the votes he can get.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. on the bright side when the resentment finally

explodes, her kind of people have no clue how to use a weapon

[Rex]

16. No such thing as a class war

they even fooled this stupid ***** into thinking "her people" amount to something.

[Swede]

17. Her kind never pay the butcher's bill.

Cindy Sheehan's kind pay it, with interest, in the end. ...

[Spike from MN]

19. Of course it's not for her kind of people. And I bet when they

institute a draft, the rules will reflect that. Those that make above $250,000 or whatever will be exempt. Just like taxes.

[libertypirate]

20. Diet Americans

only half the responsibility.

You know the watching TV portion.

21. Here's the link to the original story (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

Kos got it from Atrios: (there's some good stuff in the comments section) http://atrios.blogspot.com/2005_08_07_atrios_archive.html#112381157167118542

Here's the Post-Gazette link:
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05223/552161.stm

This excerpt jumped out at me:
-------
Army National Guard and Reserve units, even more than the active service, have been having trouble attracting recruits as the war in Iraq continues and the economy improves. Their enlistment figures have not started to rebound -- the Army Guard reached only 80 percent of its July recruiting goal; the Army Reserve, 82 percent. Among all Guard and Reserve units, only the Marines and Air Force achieved their quotas for July.


Stopping the bleeding


For the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, last year was the worst. Total strength fell 1,088 soldiers below target. The additional shortfall this year has been only 192 soldiers.

"We've stopped the bleeding," said Lt. Col. Michael Curran, chief of recruiting. "The tourniquet has been applied."
---------

UMMMM, Mr. Recruiter Sir, you fuckin' MORAN, that was a really, really poor choice of words. The bleeding sure the hell hasn't stopped in Iraq.
