Doubting Their Own Patriotism
Posted by Frank J. at 11:12 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (18)

Why is it that anti-war vets mention their service so much? There was a guy on O'Reilly last night who was for convincing people not to enlist in the military, and every other thing out of his mouth was, "I'm a nine year vet!" Here's a video of Jon Soltz trying to say Hillary is a friend of the military, and he keeps mentioning "I was in Kosovo!" and "I was in Iraq!" And, of course, there's John "I Served in Vietnam" Kerry.

It seems a little... insecure.

Not only that, those people will say "I support the troops" while defaming the President as Commander in Chief. We need to teach our kids that the President IS one of the troops. If you attack the President, you attack our troops. ~from a vet submariner.

We had democrats in the Marines. We called them "$*itbags." (Trying to stay PG-13)

The ones that whined about going to the field, pouted about the invasion, and wanted college money just for posing in a uniform. Yep.

#2 - Posted by: Ringmaster on August 9, 2007 11:40 AM

I saw that guy. Bill asked him several times if he thought it would be a good thing if Iraq stabilized. He dodged that simple question every time until Bill just became disgusted with them.

And, yeah, Ringmaster. What you said.

Much like the so-called conservatives who loudly proclaim their love for immigrants and Mexicans, just not "the illegal ones".

If I sound testy, it's because Dick Cheney anally raped me.

Why is it that anti-war vets mention their service so much?

I assume it's because they are trying to say, "See what the military did to me? It turned me into the pathetic, traitorous weasel you see before you!" But, unbekownst to them, this doesn't work because they so obviously started out as a pathetic, traitorous weasel.

#5 - Posted by: Master Shake on August 9, 2007 12:31 PM

Well, retard, we do support LEGAL immigrants. I certainly haven't seen any conservatives picketing an INS office. Jackass. Now get back to your shitty level 1 phone tech job.

Much like the so-called conservatives who loudly proclaim their love for immigrants and Mexicans, just not "the illegal ones".

I like for people to be able to drive a car, just not "illegally". Like when they are underage, drunk or changing clothes. Does that make me a hypocrite?

Also fyi. I'm pretty sure there's not such thing as being an illegal Mexican. You can be in Mexico illegally, but as far as I'm aware, Mexican citizenship is not in and of itself a crime anywhere.

Sanjayrupta Pravati are you a Mexican?

#7 - Posted by: spacemonkey on August 9, 2007 12:57 PM

Just being in the military doesn't make one an expert commentator on the military. I served in the Air Force for 8 years. I fixed computers (desktop PC's)and painted buildings a lot. Oh and there were some sandbags to fill...nothing REALLY important going on, but then Bill Clinton was in office too. He got defamed by military members pretty regularly, at least the ones I knew.

#8 - Posted by: shimauma on August 9, 2007 01:15 PM

That's what I like about this place. 'Tards come in, speak their mind and then get stomped on by Elephants and Monkey's. Sanjayrupta Pravati, is it possible we're misconstruing what you said? Perhaps you need to "find your very deepest level" at eHarmo.

#9 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 9, 2007 01:15 PM

He's not Mexican, but he needs a hug, some Reese Pieces, and a brand new shiny gun.

We'll make a connie outta you yet Sanjie Baby.

#10 - Posted by: Ringmaster on August 9, 2007 01:16 PM

But shimauma, I was in the service when Carter got elected. I have NEVER seen a group of 80 people more depressed that day in my life! Today, our soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen are there because they WANT to be. It's natural for all of them to have opinions about the credibility of their boss. I can only imagine what so many thought of Bill "Cheeseburger" Lincoln-Room-For-Sale Clinton.

#11 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 9, 2007 01:26 PM

Hillary Clinton is most definitely NOT any friend to the military. Has anyone asked her yet as to why her hubby's administration did it's best to hobble it & turn it into a social experiment for gays, with her full support? How about her treatment of military personnel during her stint as Frost Lady; she made it damn clear that she didn't want to see any MilAides in uniform unless it was absolutely necessary.

Their thoughtless & wasteful use of military resources for little more than getting from one photo-op to the next while cutting operating budgets should be an insult to any serviceman/woman, past or present.

Just because she has a bunch of narcissistic veterans behind her doesn't mean it's viable support for the armed forces. If she had serious support from CURRENT military personnel, especially from the leadership, that might be different.

That's what I like about this place. 'Tards come in, speak their mind and then get stomped on by Elephants and Monkey's.

And what's really got to hurt is that elephants and monkeys are most likely Sanjayrupta Pravati's gods....

#13 - Posted by: Master Shake on August 9, 2007 02:24 PM

Now that you've started, Alan, tell us what you REALLY think! If you're saying "Don't get me started!", well, you started.

Remember this one?

Hillary's Intentions (YouTube)

#14 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 9, 2007 02:45 PM

Jimmy-

I actually hadn't seen that video before. I have a miserably slow connection, so it takes a long time for EweToob vids to load; that's why I have so much time to rant... lol!

Thanx for the link. That was funny. And I ain't voting for Barry either, but I'm betting you guessed that already.

#15 - Posted by: AlanABQ on August 9, 2007 03:53 PM

Yes, indeed, Alan. People think the big "O" stands for Obamination. Actually, it's a zero. 'Cause that's what the Democrats offer - with the possible exception of people like Lieberman.

#16 - Posted by: Jimmy on August 9, 2007 04:50 PM

Now that you've started, Alan, tell us what you REALLY think! If you're saying "Don't get me started!", well, you started.

LOL! That reminds me of this picture and what that guy thought of Hillary Clinton.

#17 - Posted by: shimauma on August 9, 2007 08:59 PM

That picture sums it up, shimauma. Thanks. I'm sending that link to my friends and relatives. You rock! ~Old Guy
