PCD, They won’t make it… Plus, they’ll call it torture…. !!

I’ve only heard stories. I only went to Navy Bootcamp in 1988 and I heard that it too was much tougher pre-1988. I guess I lucked out. But my company commander spent time in submarines and seemed like a hard a** to me… not to mention that he glowed.. (not enough sun)

Shooting the messenger

There is no denying, the Bush administration has made a mess of Iraq.

Can the conservative blogosphere stop drinking the kool-aid for once? I

Let’s put the liberals through an “OLD CORPS” bootcamp.

Any Marines care to explain to the civvies what I mean?

MD – Nah, you’d split them up. The Columbia brownshrts (can we call them CBS for short?) only show any courage when banded together. Separate them into different units and they’ll be the whimpering losers we know they are. Then have each one of them take the point on missions looking for IEDs. That way we wouldn’t have to risk losing real soldiers or Marines.

Hey, if Charlie is complaining that the poor are overrepresented in the military, what better place to start correcting the imbalance than by drafting the spoiled campus libs at places like Columbia? Maybe it’ll give Kerry an idea for his next “botched joke”.

On the other hand GWR – maybe Rangel wants the Columbia U brownshirts to have access to guns, bombs, tanks, etc. Perhaps Chalie is not as crazy as I thought.

Of course, once Charlie and the Columbia U brownshirts have their way and the US becomes an Islamic Republic they will be employed as cannon fodder anyway. Or does anyone seriously entertain the notion that the Islamofascists will let these morons run around loose?

I don’t know, GWR – giving the brownshirts of Columbia U access to guns, bombs, tanks, etc. It would be like recruiting al Qaeda fighters for the US Army.

I’d love to see them start by drafting those brown shirts that shut down the Minutemen’s event at Columbia. Wouldn’t that be poetic justice…

Do Democrats have a political death wish? Between tax increases, cutting-and-running in Iraq, corrupt leaders, and now the draft….

Or is it the invisible hand of Karl Rove?

Rep. Rangel Resurrects Draft Talk Again

There is one kernel of truth in Rangel’s comments; the size of the military does need to be increased. We drew down the size of the military far too much during the Clinton years, and we’re paying for that drawdown now. We must increase the size of t…

Well if it goes through, I say lets put Charlie Rangel in the very front of the front line of fire.

Maybe two years of stupid Democratic proposals will be what it takes to guarantee a Republican in the White House in 2008 and retaking the House and Senate then as well?

Let’s just reinstate the draft, and then we can all say it’s Bush’s fault. Rangel is and idiot.
