I'm for shooting anyone who "just joined for the college money" and "won't invade Iraq."

Every last one of these reprehensible cowards should be given a choice.

1) Do their duty.

2) Pay back every penny they have received in pay, benefits, comphensation and cost of training, then receive a Dishonorable Discharge.

These bastards, who over the years gladly cashed their drill pay checks and watched their retirement packages grow, are worse than draft dodgers and deserters who never claimed to be patriots....

"Sometimes they say, 'I just got back, I can't go again,' or 'I was just in it for the college money,' or 'I'm willing to defend my country but I'm not willing to invade Iraq,'" said J.E. McNeil, a lawyer for the G.I. Rights Hotline.

Now I've heard everything . . .

But the G.I. Rights Hotline, which was set up by antiwar activists to help those who have either fled or are thinking about it, say their calls have more than tripled in the past few months.

A credible source I'm sure. /sarcasm

Chins up boys, you'll be in Baghdad by March and home by April.

The carefully concerted nationwide effort by local members of the press to destroy our will to fight continues. A few members of the Guard/Reserve and their families are playing the useful idiot, and we all suffer.

This time around, with no overt aggression by Iraq, "a lot of people are questioning what are we doing, moms and dads saying, 'Why should my son go?,'" said McCormack, a former Army prosecutor.

Your son should go because he signed up to do so.

If you son doesn't go he should be shot as a deserter.

Simple enough for these people?

College is supposed to make you smarter. Obviously it failed on these folks.

Lawyers say they're being flooded with pamic calls from reservists who either don't believe the United States should attack Iraq or are worried about their safety, their jobs, their finances, their health or leaving their loved ones. The reservists are afraid to talk on record, their attorneys say.

"We have everybody from doctors to seaman apprentices wanting to get out," said David Sheldon, a former Navy lawyer now in private practice in Washington.

Kick these pathetic cowards out and fill their ranks with guys that want to get back in.

Of course they should also be fined the cost of their training in the military.

Being governor of a state doesn't exempt a guy from being called up for military service? If it doesn't, it should.

These are probably the same jerks who will brag about being 'war heroes' in the years to come.

No, it's not deja vu all over again. It's lying media whores again.

"But the G.I. Rights Hotline, which was set up by antiwar activists to help those who have either fled or are thinking about it, say their calls have more than tripled in the past few months."

These are the same people who claim that Saddam Hussein has no weapons of mass destruction. They have as much credibility as Clinton does.

I have a friend who's a surgeon at the local university hospital. He was regular army, then has been in reserves. Has 19 1/2 years in. Four children (ages 7 - 17), a lovely wife, takes care of his mother-in-law (with alzheimers) who lives with them.

He got called up two weeks ago and had about 5 days notice for reporting. We had a get together to lay hands on him and pray for him. He will miss his oldest daughter's high school graduation.

He was kinda sad, but said he's been very lucky over the years and has not had too many significant deployments. Took it like a man, and is looking forward to witnessing to others in "some sandy place." Pray for him and those like him, who we depend on for their integrity and sense of duty.

The majority are like him, and not those disgraceful cowards described in this article.

For some reason, an image of hundreds of young G.I.'s dying on Normandy beach come to mind while reading this article. Hitler never did anything to America, yet American sons invaded Europe and gave their life's blood for Freedom. The debt that is owed to these young men cannot be paid in full. And here we have reservists, who willingly signed up, showing just how cowardly they are. Makes me ill.
