   Thanks Michelle for reminding us all.

   You’re right ACHefty, I only wish we were closer than GA. I guess the Kooky Kos Kids have nothing else to do. Hell, they’re mostly trust fund babies anyway like the Code Pinko founder Susan Benjamen or however she spells her last name & made up first name.

   I can’t believe how Stalinist acting these lefties have become. They are the most hateful, intolerante folk I have seen in the United States in a long time. Wonder what they would think if they really had to live in a repressive nation with no outlet of free expression?

   For those of you that are going to the Pro-troop demonstration, please take pictures and video, and make them available to authorities should the need arise for prosecution of the Pinko commies! God speed, and stay safe.

   I am on the other side of the US, or I would be there. These recent attacks on recruiters is making me want to start a “Support your military recruiter” day.

   Recruiters are soldiers too, and many of them are Veterans. We can’t sit by and watch our Veterans, our soldiers, get treated this way by a bunch of lunatics. These kinds of attacks are not just happening in CA. I am starting to take care packages in to our recruiters locally. They are great guys doing a good job. Show them your support!

    Why Not Say “How Dare You Keep Me From My Right To Seek Any Career – Including A Military One?!”

    We have to push the argument as simply as that. Cut the moral philosophy bull. Ask can an employment agency sue a group that’s harnessing and keeping them from participating in a job fair or holding business somewhere? What legal redress does such a company have? What obligations does law enforcement have to enable you to exercise your right to run a business unhassled? A military recruiting station is no different than a employment agency in this respect.

    Ask Code Pink and others, how DARE you keep others from the RIGHT to chose the job they want!

    Good luck today for all of you that are heading for the counter demonstration.

    I echo one of the above comments and get lots of video tape in case one of the traditors decides to act violently so you have evidence against them.

    Yes – one example of some conservative with a blog ( ooh, they have a blog – that makes them significant! ) is much more indicative of the hypocracy of conservatives as opposed to the constant harrassment Code Pink throws at our recruiters, the denegrating statements made by liberal celebrities and politicians, and the DailyCrap written about by DailyKos and friends.

    Good point – ( NOT )

    lgm,
    I noticed you used the words “interesting example”, instead of “good example”. That’s an appropriate choice, as the link you provide is not a good example, but is interesting in that it has so little in common with the support conservatives usually reserve for the troops.

    Point one: There are whackos on both sides. The “all technology is bad” leftie greens are as nutty as the “all government is bad” righties. Please don’t pretend that only lefties can be nuts. Let’s “move on” and discuss the actual issue: should we stay in Iraq?

    Point two: The Code Pinkies did not attack common soldiers. They tried to convince people not to join the military so that fewer would be sent to Iraq. That’s not as bad as trash talking wounded vets.

    Now how in the world do you know any soldier is faking PTSD? Have you personally evaluated them? Do you know anyone who, in your mind, actually has PTSD? Do you even know what it is, and how one gets it? More importantly DO YOU EVEN CARE? I doubt you do.

    I have friends who suffered from this disorder, and it is painful to watch them struggle day to day. How dare you denigrate combat soldiers to try and make leftist “brownie points,” you jerk!

    And…NO, Code Pink, did NOT try to convince people NOT to join the military! According to press reports, the Pinkos vandalized the military work site, and attempted to itimidate the recruiters. And I’m happy to hear that you admit that you were “trash talking” wounded vets.

    …”did not attack common soldiers…A soldier, is a soldier, period! At least you admit IT WAS an attack on soldiers, not an effort to “dissuade” potential recruits.

    Bull. They called a Veteran, who is serving in a recruiter capacity a “traitor.” They scrawled that across his door. They further more claimed that he is a liar. They defamed his character and they publicly called him a liar and a traitor. Please explain how that is not an attack on a “common soldier” whatever in the hell a “common soldier” is. Are you hinting that “uncommon soldiers” are OK targets? I don’t get your wording there at all.

    Your assumption that fewer people will go over to Iraq if fewer are recruited is a very unthoughtful sentiment. Thank you so much for obvious lack of concern for our current troops who are there or who are going back. Have you thought this through? If we don’t have enough soldiers, then guess what? That means our current soldiers will stay for longer tours in Iraq and spend fewer days in garrison. We are not leaving Iraq until the job is done. Fewer soldiers is not going to stop the military from doing its job. It is not a matter of numbers. That is the most ridiculous notion I have heard in a long time. That is not how the military thinks or operates. My son is currently over for 15 months, and I am grateful that there are other Americans who are willing, able and who WANT to serve by their own free will. That way he can come home and rest when his time is over.

    Furthermore the person whose blog you posted I can choose to look at or not. I choose not to. I don’t read anti-military sentiment. I have enough crap like that thrown at me, so I choose to avoid it when I can. The sad things is that Recruiter does not have the choice to not go to work one day because some whackos are scrawling hate messages about him over his doorway. He has a job to do, and he will do it. Code Pink will never stop him from doing that. He’s a Marine because he does not accept adversity as defeat.

    Here is a link to the recruiter’s open letter to Code Pink.
