Operation Take One For The Country (Girls to give it to GI's)
Operation Take One For The Country ^ | April 04 | TOFTC

Posted on 04/28/2004 10:05:23 AM PDT by u-89
Mission Statement: To discretely provide US troops shipping out overseas with the most sensually pleasing departure possible.
OTOFTC Article

by John Truman (published here by permission of the author)

Kelly McDonough types furiously on the keyboard at the cluttered desk in her house that serves as her unofficial command post. McDonough, a 5'4" brunette, looks far younger than her 26 years; asked to describe herself she unabashedly says, "farm girl, which is what I am". She waves apologetically and says, "Sorry, I'll be with you in a minute". Amid various calendars and dry erase boards a hand painted sign hangs above the desk, emblazoned in military style stenciling "Operation: Take One for the Country". McDonough pushes back from the desk and exhales, "So you want to know how Take One for the Country started?". McDonough leans back in her chair, "It was back in February of 2003, when a lot of troops were leaving Ft. Benning. My girlfriends and I were partying at a bar frequented by soldiers. At some point one my friend leaves with a young soldier. The next day we questioned her and commented that the soldier didn't seem her 'type'. My friend just shrugged and said, 'Hey, his unit was going to ship out in a few days, so I decided to take one for the country', I knew right then and there that this was an incredible idea, so I started Operation Take One for the Country".


McDonough energetically describes exactly what Operation Take One for the Country does, "First, a military operation would not be a military operation unless we used an acronym, in this case, Op T.O.F.T.C., or as we say 'To-FutK'. Essentially we organize, discreetly, single girls to frequent bars and restaurants near military bases and, well, Take One for the Country, with members of the military, especially those about to go overseas". As McDonough describes it, TOFTC volunteers work in secrecy, "We're not out there with signs or badges. We are completely covert, you could not tell a TOFTC member from anyone else in the bar, and that is essential to the success of the Op".


Military terms and phrases flow freely in McDonough's speech. She admits that, even with a brother in the army, before starting TOFTC she knew little of military life or lexicon. "There are a lot of girls out there like me who would like to do something for the country and really have no idea where to start. Our philosophy is if you are out there partying and engage in casual sex you might as well 'Take One for the Country'". The nicely built brunette sits cross legged on her chair and delineates what she sees as the benefits of TOFTC, "The men go off into harms way gratified, and because the organization is covert, they get the boost in ego thinking that they scored on their own attributes, they ship out relaxed and confident, with a distinct impression of a grateful nation behind them". McDonough is adamant about safety "The principle is simple, don't do anyone you don't want to do, be safe, be protected" and reiterates this when meeting with TOFTC groups.


Apparently there is no lack of volunteers for TOFTC outings. McDonough relates her findings, "There is some much societal pressure on getting a job, getting married, you know, getting ahead. I think there are a lot of gals out there that want to do something for the country, they may or may not support some aspects of foreign policy, but they want to feel like they contribute or make a difference. And this is a fun way to do it, . . . so to speak".

28. Isn't that considered pandering or soliciting for prostitution?
Using the phone lines to promote illicit trade?

Well, her stupid ass will be in a criminal sling soon enough.

Therefore, it's not illicit trade and/or prostitution.

33. Are they taking money?
I really don't see the big deal. These are adult women , they can make their own decisions about their bodies.

Actually, the whole thing sounds like a joke to me.

3. Egad
The money quote:

"Like any other woman, a wife or girlfriend of a male member of the armed services, probably withholds sex."

Like any other woman? Classic Republicans! They are SOOO frustrated!

No mention of condoms or safe sex. And if these soldiers aren't married, shouldn't they be ABSTAINING, as per orders from our president? Perhaps they should call it, "Take penicillin for the country."

I am beginning to believe that the sexual hangups of Republicans are one of the major causes for their "screwed" policies . . .

not the group. Here is a mention of safe sex...

"Same rules for the men 'Be safe, be protected, be discrete'".

One day it's we're patriots and stand for american family values
then the next
let's bomb brown people, and whore ourselfs out,


Like everything the right does there is a double standard. They call Jenna Jameson a whore, and write letters saying they wish she would burn in hell.

Do you ever think Ann Coulter And Laura Ingram are wild... well nevermind, i won't go there.

18. Coulter and Ingram
Insinuating Coulter and Ingram performing any kind of sex act should not be on this board.

I mean, how am I supposed to eat dinner this week with that thought rolling around in my nugget. My balls climbed into my sternum when I read your thought.

A little discretion please

End of sarcasm.

"The men go off into harms way gratified, and because the organization is covert, they get the boost in ego thinking that they scored on their own attributes, they ship out relaxed and confident, with a distinct impression of a grateful nation behind them".

That's the funniest fucking thing I've read in a long time.

17. "Do you have any male volunteers?"
This is one of the funniest parts of the article because the girl thinks this question refers to male groupies for women soldiers...

LOL

I immediately thought of our male troops who prefer the company of a male volunteer.

But of course, this would never cross the freeper mentality.

46. First thought was Onion as well
I've seen way too many Onion articles on FR where people think it's a legit story and this was starting to sound par for the course.

I can't say I really see anything wrong with the concept though. If one is inclined to sleep with random strangers anyway, I don't see how this further compromises their own morality or integrity in any way.

It seems weird that it's Republicans organizing it but given that most of my promiscuous female friends lean right vs. left perhaps it's not that odd.

I wonder if they are getting many male volunteers to "go shopping or cuddle" with our female servicepeople?:eyes:

38. or those who simply don't want to go...
what better then getting 'caught' by your CO the night before shipping out?

and this is the oldest trick in the book, "baby, I'm shipping out tommorow, and I'll probably die, gimme some nookie!"

Edited on Wed Apr-28-04 12:59 PM by BiggJawn
then the "service" would be available!

So many service people, so few willing to bed them down....

I know I'm old, but I got a lifetime of experience, and I'd like to "do a service" to any servicewomen getting ready to deploy who doesn't want to chance picking up a "dud" at the E-club....

29. Nothing new...
Sounds like an Onion article to me, just because of the tone, but even if it's for real, it's nothing new.

During WWII, the women who engaged in similar morale-boosting activities for the troops were called "Victory Girls."

The store is up! Help support OTOFTC© and keep this site running and buy an Official OTOFTC© T-shirt.

God Bless Our Troops, God Bless Our President, and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

-Kelly McDonough







***BIG BIG WARNING*** the second part of our motto is BE DISCRETE! That means not letting on that you are on an OTOFTC mission. To the group in Galveston Texas (Yes, I got word the NEXT day), you CANNOT, and I mean CANNOT go to a bar and get loaded and start chanting 'TAKE ONE FOR THE COUNTRY' like a zillion times. That's bad. I love you Texan gals and love your spirit but that's not what we are trying to accomplish and it's not safe.

37. I have a few problems with this
Edited on Wed Apr-28-04 01:20 PM by MsUnderstood
As a mother, I am glad I have trained my daughter not to be blindly patriotic as things like this can happen.

Women are not meant to be whores--handed out to whatever soldier who has needs at the time. Men can and should service themselves.

Secondly, while it may be great to TOFTC, what if, against all odds, the condom breaks or is not used properly? Do you GIFTC (give in for the country) and have a baby, causing that young GI to be required to pay child support the rest of his life (if he survives the war and can be identified that is). Oh, wait, why not abort? You can't abort cause it is against your morals?

George Bush is pushing legislation that does not allow sexual discussion in schools, forcing condom manufacturers to put warnings that condoms don't work, and praising programs that teach ABSTINENCE while these gals promote promiscuity and strange sex. It isn't cute, patriotic, or funny, it is misogynistic, harmful, and sad.

42. What pisses me off is they hypocrisy of Ashcroft and Bush preaching
to high heaven about the lord and all the shit, and sticking their noses into everyone's bedrooms - while at the same time tacitly condoning this ...at the very least their supporters tacitly condone it while cheering on Ashcroft's war on sex and privacy...

in their twisted, demented, soulless worldview sex is valid only if it's for procreation or for troops about to shipped off to fight in an illegitamite war...

fuckin' creeps!

48. Got to love the key words used for this on FR
From the link:

KEYWORDS: GIRLS; GODBLESSAMERICA; IMMORALITY; IRAQ; PATRIOTGIRLS; PROSTITUTION; PUBLICSERVICE; SEX; SICKENING; SOLDIER; TERROR; WAR; WHORES;



In reading the posts on FR I think sentiment is running 50-50 regarding the concept of patriotic promiscuity.

I will admit the posts that I find galling are the ones along the nature of "since they're servicing the troops, it's ok that they're being whores".

So, if someone doesn't care for GI's but is promiscuous with other bar customers that person is less noble than one who'll fall on her back for some grunt?

I think my flabber has been gasted for a number of reasons.

Starting with the fact that as a poster up thread stated, the morons at FR who usually froth at the mouth when it comes to discussing sex actually seem to think this is a good thing....
