Anyone interested in meeting some Raging Grannies on Valentine's Day?

I just wish the military would let them sign up and ship them off to boot camp.

Send them into those Afghan mountains. Maybe they can bring Bin Laden out with the scent of their fresh-baked cookies.

Sign 'em up. Issue 'em tap shoes. Point 'em toward a minefield.

heartbroken and enraged over the enormous loss of life

While any loss of American life is regrettable, the amount of fatal casulties in Iraq are far from enormous. Long live America, up the Republic!

Didn't they try this last year?

[generally]

I think there are plenty of Grannies, as well as Grandpas, that are hopping mad at what the terrorists have done to this country and would be happy to try to enlist in order to defend their kids and grandkids.

I think the best thing that FReepers could do would be to find some of them and encourage them to show up in far greater numbers than the anti-war grannies. And BTW, I think most conservatives, FReepers, and grannies are against war, but realize the need for us to finish and win what the terrorists started.

Sign 'em up. Ship 'em out.

Hey,Granny:

I'LL PT YOU 'TILL YOU DIE!

Love,

Gunnery Sergent Hartman

This grandpa has 2 more years on his current enlistment, and will re-enlist when the time comes. I will continue to do so, until they use me up, or put me out.

Suter, a 53-year-old grandmother of two, reacted. Within seconds, she rushed to the scuffle.

"I have a concealed weapons permit," she announced as she whipped out the .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun she keeps in her purse.

"Either drop the knife, or I'll shoot you," she said as she held the weapon to the man's face.

I wonder what will be the response when China invades Taiwan and then The Spratleys...and then The Phillipines?

Hear, hear!

Put 'em on permanent KP and set them to peeling potatoes with dull knives.

Crawling under barbwire on their backs in the cold mud with a machine gun firing overhead might be good for them, too.

Aren't the spratleys ours?

ABSOLUTELY! Then court martial and prosecute them when they fail to follow orders.

UCMJ Article 83—Fraudulent enlistment

“Any person who procures his own enlistment or appointment in the armed forces by knowingly false representation or deliberate concealment as to his qualifications for that enlistment or appointment and receives pay or allowances thereunder shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

Maximum punishment: Fraudulent enlistment or appointment. Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 2 years.

Make them all Permanent Latrine Orderlies.

These people aren't funny and their stunts aren't cute.
