That word alone places the nail in the coffin for that bitch!

You might be fighting because you want to protect Americans, but there is no evidence that you are saving just *one* American with that war.

This man would get a bullet in his head if he said this about jihadists, but he gets a pass from the likes of me. He will say these things to a friendly crowd, and because he is a democrat the media will not play this tape when he directly contradicts himself as we get closer to election time. He is saying all the things that will get himself the democrat nomination.

But this country will not elect someone like this as president, not because he happens to part of a minority race, as liberals would have us believe, but because he lacks a spine and is hiding behind his own connections to Islamism much like keith ellison in minnesota. The truth will come out.

The only people who say the soldiers lives are wasted are those who support terrorism. Obama has stated unequivecally that he is an enemy of the US.

I hope you men and women in our armed services, and especially the ones over there in the Middle East, know a lot of us are trying to do something to wake people out of apathy. Pat Dollard is a very good example. I have told everyone I know about his web site. However, we common cake-eating citizens aren’t being listened to by our elected officials. Several people have called and emailed Rush asking what we can do.

I have sent several emails to John Edwards trying to get a response from him. I didn’t even get a canned reply. There is no way in hell I would vote for the Breck Girl; I was just trying to get him to answer to some of his claims. By the way, apparently sending an email to him automatically puts you on his newsletter mailing list so you have to put up with him even more. If anyone here has any ideas I am all ears.

You know, my best friend is joining the Air Force, and I’m joining the Marine Corps. (He wants to be a cunning linguist.) And we were talking after we saw the movie 300 about how we both had asked our parents to never bring up our service politically, should anything ever happen to us. And the same should go for politicians.

If they really cared about the troops, they’d kindly step the f*** out of the way.

People die in wars. 618,000 people died in the Civil War. I’m really glad Lincoln didn’t redeploy the troops to Sandusky, Ohio, so the slaves could learn to fight their masters themselves.

Michelle Malkin’s Hot Air has a great video of Pamela Hess becoming emotional, talking about the mission.

She says something to the effect that this war is now being fought on a human level…

This marine recruit has always looked at this war and all wars on the human level.

Leaving Vietnam? Not following the VC into Cambodia? Standing by while 3,000,000 Cambodians were raped and burned and tortured and far worse by 13-year-old savages?

This recruit believes in the Good Sheperd, and there’s a hymn in the Lutheran Church that just came to mind: “Hark the voice of Jesus calling,” and I don’t want to get all religious, cause that’s not the way I am, but I won’t apologize for posting the last stanza:

Let none hear you idly saying,
“There is nothing I can do,”
While the souls of men are dying.
And the Master calls for you.
Take the task He gives you gladly,
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
“Here am I, send me, send me!”

My PT is coming along nicely. I weighed 212 on Saturday. I’m down to 209. I could barely do 1 crunch last week. Now I’m up to 25 in a set.

One reason I want to be a Marine is to learn to not worry about bullsh**. But it’s not bullsh** to say that the politicization of this war makes me want to puke, much, much harder than I puked while hiking last Saturday.

Chunky.

My friends we have to stop taking this type of information as gospel. The media does this crap everyday….they only show you what will create news and controversy.

If you want to hate this man then hate him because you know where he stands on all the issues, not because you saw a 20 sec clip.

I’m sure your recruiters have told you that you need to be doing more than that. What kind of plan are you on workout wise?

My recruiter has told me to focus on weight-loss first, since losing 20 pounds (seven down already) will make all the other exercises (pullups) easier. That being said, here’s what I did tonight:

1 body weight circuit (max pushups, 10 assisted pullups, 10 step-ups, 10 heel raises, max crunches, 10 assisted dips, 10 squats.) Walk/run for over a mile (15 minutes, I wasn’t counting distance), followed by 15 minutes exercise bike, followed by another body weight circuit (max reps, because I’m insane), 10 minutes rowing machine, then 15 minutes more walk/run. It took me about an hour and a half, which is a good amount of time, I think.

I’m trying to keep my heartrate up; my reps are improving, my gut is shrinking; I cut the soda/caffeine/alcohol completely last week, I’m down to 5 cigarettes today (a pack a day 2 weeks ago), I eat 5 small meals a day and drink water like it’s beer.

Tomorrow will be all walk/run, since my non-leg muscles need the day off to heal up after a week of punishment. My goal is to be off the nicotine by the end of the week, and as soon as I can run without sucking buttermilk, that will be my cardio. This gut wasn’t built in a day, and it won’t get lost in a day, either.

This recruit will NOT be sucking buttermilk when it’s time to ship.

it could be that he thinks the decision of going to war was a mistake in the first place and therefore, that it is wasteful and misguided to exploit the troops’ willingness to lay down their lives.

Just a thought.

I got a 99 on my ASVAB, but I’m red/green color blind, which totally f***’s my job choices. I could deliver mail, drive tanks, or work on ‘puters. It’s still a sexy job, but I won’t sleep well until I sign that contract.

Very few people actually meet all the vision requirements for the “fun” jobs. I got lucky, doctors told me for years that I had no depth perception, then the MEPs doctor told me otherwise.

It sounds like you’re doing commo, if you’re into computers you should really enjoy it.
