Thank you for your service.
Here's reality for him. Reenlistment is not bad. Over 75% of the military voted for Bush. We made our recruiting goal again. After announcing to the world that we didn't make it for some time they won't report on the fact that we are back on track again and made the quota. I guess good news is no story for the NYTs?
I'm sure they reported that recruitment was back on track, I just must have missed it. Uh huh.
But sure, our young, inner-city minority soldiers, who all feel disenfranchised and smoke pot and have sex with local woman are fed up by a pointless war that is fought for some interests (oil) and led by incompetent officers and abusive NCOs. Did I miss a stereotype?
LOL It's amazing how the libs, who are supposed to be so anti-discriminatory, are the ones who trade in cultural stereotyping ALL THE TIME. Meanwhile in my 40 years on this planet I have found more conservatives in the blue collar jobs I've had, coming from the most "diverse" group you could imagine--of course I'm using the NYT version of diversity, which is skin color. Amazing how the libs are all for diversity of skin color but not of thought, as in my experience veterans of the American military I've known over the years are a lot more diverse thought-wise than the NYT editorial offices.
I wasn’t able to stuff jungle, drafted, average age 19, and fragging in there (sorry). All he did was to dig for some new dirt that really isn’t new. The same old liberal slanted “force fed” crap.
I guess since Jason Blair (sp) isn't around to invent new crap for them they have to go back to the old reliables.
Some issues I have with the Admin. Since it all starts from the Top.
1. They need to start using more propaganda posters in all Federal Buildings. Since we are at War, we need poster and such depicting our enemy. More stuff like WW2, posters describing how all Americans can help the cause.
2. I think PGWB’s new campaign is the Nation at War theme. But, the MSM once again has not put it out enough. I hope that, perhaps, he is doing a Base type tour program. Maybe he can hit as many Military Bases in the States using Military Transportation only. Then head overseas.
3. GWB needs to go to Iraq more often. How many times has he been to Iraq? He needs to show the public that it’s safe there. By him going there, it will give the public a showing that it is indeed safe. He needs to go there at least once a month. By doing that he shows us troops that he’s willing to risk his safety to see us.
4. More forums instead of speeches. Talk to the common guy and discuss his agenda. I just don’t see the Admin doing much of this.
5 Go visit the countries that have supported our Coalition in Iraq. Go thank them personally in their country.
