Are "conservatives" flocking to army recruiting offices in your area?
No doubt the flag wavers, true patriots amongst us and young republicans are overwhelming the Army Recruiting Offices around the country to help bush fight wars in Iran and North Korea.

Or am I just being a little naive? Are they just sitting on their fat asses and pretending to be brave? Are they continuing to be chickenhawks supporting the daily killing of our kids in Iraq and supporting covering up the sexual depravity of members of their party?

2. they did lower the standards...
So I guess kids who think the earth is 6,000 years could even get in. But I think you are on the money:

Are they just sitting on their fat asses and pretending to be brave?

Yes

I carry a laminated, shrunk-down copy of my DD-214 with me to show freepers what they look like.

6. Shrunk down laminated copy of my 214
On my to do list. Thanks for the Idea. Actually that would be better then a retiree ID card for shoving in their faces.

5. it's a mob scene
young white males with bow ties trying to cram into the recruiter's offices, 10-20 at a time. Mobs of short-haired young men with "Reagan Revolution" t-shirts chanting "send me to Iraq" Annthrax Coulter showed up at one and promised to "go down on boys who sign up!" total chaos!

</sarcasm>

7. But isn't that why they lowered their recruiting standards?
The old ones resulted in turning away too many conservatives?

8. It's so bad here, the gangbangers are infiltrating the armed forces
No background check, no nothing. They want people with experience with advanced weapons and explosives for obvious reasons. Chicago is going to be a war zone when these guys get back.
