Gingrich at the University of Utah: A Call to Serve?

Dear Mr. Gingrich-

You gave such an inspiring talk December 1 to the University of Utah College Republicans, saying that "Winning [in Iraq] is a predicate for a successful future," that the United States "cannot be intimidated by the current situation [there], and [that] we must confront Iran."

College Republican Brad Anderson agrees with former House Speaker Gingrich. "He's right on Iraq, he's right with Iran," Anderson said. "He called American power out . . . Gingrich in '08."

Newt, it seems that the Daily Utah Chronicle didn't record any exhortation to the University of Utah College Republicans to consider volunteering for military service, to make your dreams a reality. Did they mess up, or have you no intention of encouraging anyone to consider actually DOING something for our country?

How about you, Brad? If Mr. Gingrich is right on Iraq, have you visited your local recruiting station?

american soldier-

Thank you for your service, which we respect. Although members of Operation Yellow Elephant hold a variety of individual opinions on the war, we are all committed to American success.

We are focusing on the future leaders of our governing party because the American people, in the past several elections, have selected the Republicans to lead our country.

Our governing party controls both Houses of Congress and the White House; the President has yet to veto a single bill. It is our governing party that has the responsibility to lead our nation.

Our Army just missed its annual recruiting quota by the largest shortfall since 1979. If Republican activists who are eligible to serve refuse actually to consider doing so, is this really support? How about Jenna's boyfriend?

I think not.

American soldier, why do you think we don't support our troops? And what support, exactly do your "repub brothers" give you? Lip service? So what. Your "Republican Brothers" have cut your vet's benefits. What kind of support is that? . they also tried to cut hazard pay, but the nasty, troop hatin' Dems wouldn't let 'em.
I think you're just a troll in disguise.
