Chickenhawk Challenge: In Your Local Newspaper

Operation Yellow Elephant salutes Judith M. Harmon of Lacey, Washington, who Challenged the Chickenhawks with a letter to the editor of the The Olympian: [scroll down to fifth item]

To all the pro-Bush armchair neocons who regularly write into the editor, I challenge any one of you to sign up and join this noble cause. Not even the rather large extended Bush family has joined in this effort. Oh, I forgot, you chickenhawks let others do the fighting for you. [end excerpt]

Here's another. It's easy to challenge the chickenhawks. No matter what irrelevant nonsense they spew, just stick to the topic: If this is so important to America, why haven't you enlisted? And please share what they say to you, if they have the courage to respond.

[Frankly, I respect more those who respond, rather than those who remain silent. We wouldn't really want those pussies wearing American uniforms anyway, right? French, maybe.]

This kool-aid sippin' neocon signed up for military service nearly five years ago and plans to re-enlist next year. I've been to Iraq and am voluntarily returning next month. Does this give me more pull in foreign policy debates? I haven't had an abortion... should I not be able to speak on pro-life or pro-choice topics?

Thank you, kool-aid sippin' neocon rich, for your service.

In answer to your question, it does give you personal credibility on certain issues. However, as you know, in America everyone remains free to express their opinions on anything they want.

A separate question is whether anyone else should pay attention; in America, each person makes that decision individually.

'Hope this helps.

qkslvrwolf-

I greatly appreciate your additional (and much more relevant) perspective.

I'll be working on a post to include it.

Thanks.

The bottom line is-- if you support the war, are eligible for military service, and have not served

WHY NOT
(esp. in light of the stop-loss, recruiting shortfalls, the fact that kool-aid sippin rich will probably pull multiple tours in Iraq)

If you have served-- the country thanks you, and this blog is not directed towards you.

If you have not served, are eligible, and support the war

YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU

ENLIST NOW
