1 Because all of you clowns that served in times of peace were just wasting the tax payers money, and we are wasting money in Iraq right now....   Nittaly lions...  uhh... umm...

2 Weren't there a couple hundred Americans being held hostage when he graduated?

3 Obama really is a miracle worker. Who else could make Michael Dukakis look a patriotic tough guy in comparison?

I believe this as much as believe Hillary wanted to join the Marines.

4 You know I thought about it when I graduated but, in 1982 my community was already organized...so...

5 Well this just neutralizes McCain's military experience now, doesn't it?

6 Well, a couple months after he graduated?

7

I was going to join the Peace Corps after I graduated but once the Cold War ended I just assumed their work was done.

8 He should at least get a Bronze Star for signing up for the Selective Service.

9 Who the fuck is running this guy's campaign, Leon Schlesinger?

K

10

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t the US need to train a military army when its peace, *in case* there is war? Or should they start from scratch each time they are attacked?  

Also, I am not a historian or anything, but wasn’t there this thing called the Cold War against the Soviet Union?

Ps. There were 52 hostages, not a couple of hundred.

11 Biden is notorious for telling everyone (especially vet groups while campaigning) that he wanted to be a "jet fighter pilot."

Clinton: Dreamed of being an astronaut.

Hmmm, I'm noticing a pattern, here. Funny how all these Democrats wind up lawyers/activists/political hacks instead of astronauts, soldiers, and fighter pilots.

12 First, this guy has told himself so many lies about his own life and greatness, he couldn't tell the reality from his wet dreams.  Second, homes is obviously feeling the pinch of McCain's service in the military, the Iraq surge decision and his other committee responsibilities with the armed forces committee.  He needs some military chops and respect. 

So, we get "well, I thought about joining the military once" and the closest he ever actually got to that was driving by military bases and seeing "army people" when he lived with his grandparents. 

Which means that the first and only time this bozo thought about joining the military was when he was 10.

13 He didn't join because there wasn't a war?! Right. Right. He is a walking McCain commercial.

14 Notice that he didn't bring this up until after Sarah Palin was nominated. After seeing pictures of her skinning a Caribou that she had personally killed, is the chosen one feeling a wee bit inadequate?

15 After I graduated, I thought of becoming an astronaut...

16 He should at least get a Bronze Star for signing up for the Selective Service.

Kerry would have.

17 "Some men are just sadly born under an unlucky star."

As opposed to a fightin' man like yourself, ace, who likes a war so long as he can blog about it.

18

As a '78 grad, I can kinda relate. The armed services in those post Viet Name years were not the well oiled, well respected organizations that they became later starting in the Reagan years. The word on the street in those days, as best I recall,  was that there was a lot of doping and general fucking off going on on bases and ships everywhere. As an 18 year old, I never considered it as an option. I wanted to get my 4 years of college out of the way and get on with life. If anyone could know O's heart for sure, I'd guess that he was of the same stance and probably even more so. He's lying out his ass now to try to get back to the center. The nuts who nominated him understand where his heart truly lies.

19 Barry is two years older than I am.  I signed on the dotted line, where was he?

If he had actually raised his right hand and taken the oath he would have been either a Desert Storm vet, a "Just Cause" vet, a Bosnia vet, a Kosovo vet,  or an Iraq vet.  So he would have gotten his chance. 

Evidently Barry thinks everyone to the right of him is lapping this line of bullshit up.  Instead, everyone to the right of him now knows he's a pussy.  As if we didn't already know.

20 Obama considers frequent trips in airplanes and hotel food is a sacrifice. He was NEVER going to join the military.

21 ergastularius, good to see you can read and respond to this blog in Afghanistan! How are things going over there?

Ace ain't running. 

23 "We weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it's not an option that I ever decided to pursue." Because, you see, there are only a need for a couple of dozen guys in all the military if there is no shooting war on, which explains the myth of all the guys sitting around the Fulda Gap, or along the Korean DMZ. It also goes to explain why it took so long to start the GWOT - takes a a little while for a few hundred thousand fence sitters to decide to sign up - not to mention training them and making all those guns, tanks, and things. Serial - they are all thrown away if there is no shooting war on. No, no point at all in signing up with no "real" war.

24 I joined Big Mother Green for a 3 yr hitch in 1976. There wasn't a war on. I just wanted the experience, you know, the adventure of it.

25 Years ago I thought about banging Sophia Loren. Actually I still do.

26

Also- I don't believe him for a second. This friggin' mook has been climbing the ladder, seeking personal validation since day one. His whole world revolves around convincing himself he's wonderful.

 

27 This is not fair. Why must we have an opponant who is so transparantly stupid and dishonest? Why is he making this so easy?

28

ergastularius

isn't that Scandi for 'herring-breathed pole-smoker'?

29 Ace,

Actually, I wanted to be a flight surgeon but I was hit by a car my senior year in high school and so ended my military career.

Fast forward three years (1984) and in medical school I had many classmates (maybe 12 or more out of 120) who had commissions.

Fast forward a few years more (1990) and most of them were active duty in the First Gulf War, some on ships, others in theater.

Had Barack Hussein Obama II actually joined the military when he said he wanted to, and with a little luck and emphasis on rising in the ranks, he too could have fought in a real war.

He could have gone to law school, become a JAG, all in all it would have been pretty cool.

Just sayin'.

By the way, he pink "Vote for Barack Obama" is a nice touch.

Just sayin', again.

30 ergastularius isn't that Scandi for 'herring-breathed pole-smoker'?

Yes,  but he left off the umlaut over the first "u"

31 So, he's doing comedy now? What a jokester.

32 "If only he'd graduated a few years earlier! He would have had a whole necklace of Gook ears like an aloha lei!"

Wow.  Just wow.  I nearly spit up my beer.  That line was worth a hit on the tip jar alone...

33 A question: What war was going on in 1954 when John McCain joined the Naval Academy?

The Korean War was over, so there was no reason for him to join either!

34 I spent 3 weeks playin Ikari warriors back in the 90s. Dudes, I'm gonna be the Secretary of Defense

35

You know, there are still a bunch of army bases here in Honolulu, if fact theres also navy, airforce, marine and coast guard.  How many did he visit during his week off?

Nada says Big Rudy G.!  Shows how much he cares about the military.

So as far as Obamayomama goes, screw him twice that piece of crap pole smoker.

36 I wanted to join the military before I didn't want to join the military.

37 Didn't Hillary peddle this same kind of BS during the primaries? Anyone remember what THE ONE said about it then?

38 "You know, I actually did. I had to sign up for Selective Service [a means of conscription in case of war] when I graduated from high school."

LOL... me too, but then--about 1/3rd of a second later--I finished checking the little box on the selective service form, so I started thinking about pizza.

39 Beyond parody

40 Via Drudge: MSNBC drops Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews from anchor chair... David Gregory will anchor news coverage of the coming debates and election night.... Developing...

41 pendejo grande and Sean Bannion

You are a couple years ahead of me, and I agree with you both.

Despite the fact that I believe little or nothing Barack Hussein Obama II says, I think there may be some truth to what he says about "thinking about enlisting."

A lot of guys think about it. My father was in the Air Corps during WWII, although he washed out as a pilot and never went overseas, I thought his military experience sounded exciting, and patriotic, and yet, he thought I was nuts to join unless there was a "shooting war" or some other national emergency.

Yes, the Junior Senator from Illinois is a career opportunist, shameless self-promoter,  and do-nothing, say-anything phony.

But, there might be some truth to this one.

Just sayin'.

42 This is all kind of a non-issue.  Anyone whose teen years encompassed the immediate postwar years knows exactly what he's talking about.

What he's saying is that (with the necessary I-don't-look-down-on-the-military platitudes) even if he'd wanted to go into the service (which he didn't) the military had a bad odor in the immediate post-Vietnam era.  It was demoralized and defunded and didn't look to be something you'd want to invest your future in.

That was my own situation as well.  Looking back on it now, with the Reagan years to come, I probably would be a better person today if I'd done my ROTC and gone in.  Water under the bridge.

This is largely my take on the Kerry-vs-Bush situation as well - when Kerry came of age, the Kennedy bloom was still on the rose and you needed your combat ticket punched to be able to put 'leadership' on your resume.  Bush came along a couple years later, and Vietnam and the military in general looked less like a necessary step in a political career and more like the graveyard of one.  So he hedged his bets.

43 Get Some, "RambO-Bama"

44

Yeah, because wartime is the only time the military actually does anything.  That explains all those 14-hour days Hubby spent at work for 20 years, not to mention the fact that the military was still standing alert due to the Cold War up until '91.

Obama, there's nothing wrong with admitting you aren't the Military Type; it takes a certain kind of person and you aren't it.  In fact, Military Types prefer that non-Military Types stay the heck out of the military so you don't slow them down.

But then, they also prefer the non-Military Types to STFU and let them do their jobs.  So, please, just embrace the proper role of being a non-Military Type; you'll win over more voters that way.

Well, maybe.  I doubt you're going to pull more than 20 percent of the Vet vote.

45

Hey now! I didn't pillage or ravage anything during that war. I was only 6 y.o. and living in a trailer park near Ft. Bragg, N.C.

Dad was off doing all that shit in the jungles of Vietnam. My primary concern was when the next episode of Gilligan's Island would be on.

And also trying to smother my newborn brother in his crib because I believed he'd be a potential threat to my Hot Wheels monopoly in the living room.

46 "I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around!"

47 I graduated in 78.

Damn you mean I wasted all that time in the High Desert of California working 16 hour days 7 days a week on fighter jets to train new Pilots at George AFB in Victorville CA? And the 8 or so Pilots that died during peacetime training missions while I was their also died in vain?.And multiply that world wide.

And what a waste it was when I drove over to Edwards AFB on July 4th 82' to watch the Space Shuttle land and President Reagan welcome the crew home and address the nation.


Who knew?????????


Obama you ignorant bastard rot in hell and get out of my country! FU

48 I find it exemplary that he can't even say that he was friends with anyone actually in the military. He had to go a full generation up, to his some of his friends' parents. Dude, spread out your circle a little. It's good for your perspective.

49 Hmmm... I wonder who's military he would have joined??

50 It says right in the first chapter of the Winter Soldier Field Manual that you've gotta have a war in order for your service to have any meaning. Lacking actual armed conflict, you won't have enemy villagers to rape and kill, dogs to run over with armored vehicles, grenades to toss into barrels of rice (for that guaranteed safe purple heart) and mass atrocities to blame your country for.

51

I bet the One wanted to be in the Navy.  In the Navy.  Someone wrote a song about that, didn't they?

Anyway, those Navy uniforms are pretty snappy.  Those all blue or all white uniforms with that cool floppy collar thingy.  Those bell bottom pants.  All topped off with that chick magnet little hat.  Well, I see how that would be attractive to the One.

Me, all I ever wanted was a job that comes with a badge.  Badges are cool.

Instead, all I got was that stupid embossing seal.  Shit, even Notary Publics get an embossing seal.

52 If BO is 44, he'd of been 19 when conscription ended; barely out of high school.
If he signed up for the draft he had almost zero chance of induction and can speak bravely about something that would have never happened anyway.

53

He should have joined anyway. I joined during peace time and only had to wait a couple of years for a war.

 

Lay off the Navy. My sailor son is coming home pretty soon. Benches 395. Must be from swabbing decks.

54 I wanted to be a cowboy when I grew up.  Then I wanted to be a fireman.

55

Obama, there's nothing wrong with admitting you aren't the Military Type; it takes a certain kind of person and you aren't it.  In fact, Military Types prefer that non-Military Types stay the heck out of the military so you don't slow them down.

But then, they also prefer the non-Military Types to STFU and let them do their jobs.  So, please, just embrace the proper role of being a non-Military Type; you'll win over more voters that way.

Well said.

56 I wanted to avoid the draft, so in 1988, after I signed up for selective service, I walked down to the recruiter.  He looked at me and said, "How 'bout cha, 11B"  I told him I was lean and mean.  I'd fight to keep my country free.  I told that I wanted to be AIRBORNE, RANGER, INFANTRY.  So he signed me up, as an 11B and I was ineligible for the draft.  Easy Peasy!  That's a true story, except for the Ranger part. (Its part of the song) 

57

I joined up in 1981 after the guys from teh Nimitz shot down those Libyans. Then other stoned pilots crashed and killed like 17 guys on the flight deck. My buddy asked the recruiter if the Navy supplied weed or did we have to bring our own.

 

Anyway, point is, it doesn't matter if there was a war on, it was  great way to get free haircuts and meet women.

58 Wouldn't Obama have had to register with Selective Service long *before* graduating from high school?  I'm about 10 years younger than Obama, and registered on my 16th birthday (though perhaps that was a lot earlier than I was technically *required* to do so.)

59

The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it's not an option that I ever decided to pursue."

__________________________________________________________-

 

What ever you say Barry.

 

To bad you didn't get a chance to be there with me, you worthless pile of shit.

60 Obama graduated in 1979 and the selective service registration didn't go into effect for about 18 more months.

Another lie.

61 Not to mention they didn't accept dope heads in the service during peace time.
So his warrior pipe dream went up in a blue cloud of Maui Wowee with the pain eased by "the occasional blow"
I always wanted to be a Pro Football Star but since they weren't drafting citizens, I pursued other avenues.

62

54 I wanted to be a cowboy when I grew up.  Then I wanted to be a fireman.

So how'd that turn out? I'm guessing you became a a cowboy that puts out fires. With his mind.

(strike back at will...you know I luv ya', but not in a Dave in Texas sorta' way)

63

Yeah, you know, I once thought about getting on the web and trading mindless insults with a bunch of morons, but unfortunately . . .

oh, wait.  I walk that walk.  Fuck you, Cocksucker Obama.

64 Holy Crap! Denise is right! There was no selective service between March 25^th 1975 and July 2^nd 1980!

65

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, BUT:

1. Obama graduated in 1979.

2. Selective Service was not reinstated until 1980, was it?

3. So, is Obama not being truthful (again?) or does he have a time machine the rest of us don't know about?

Of course, he could have signed up with selective service later, but HE is the ONE who was talking about signing up when he graduated high school.

66 I graduated in 76 and joined the Marines.

Barry is correct, there wasn't any war going on in 79. Well, at least until Iran unofficially declared it on the US on November 4th.

67

It's been 28 years. As much as I hate Obama, I'm not sure my memory would be perfect about something that happened that far back.

I still think he's lying about wanting to join though.

68

You know, I think most American males consider the military, at least briefly.  Obama wasn't rich, so it might have seemed like a decent way to pay for school - so I believe he thought about it, but this/:

"The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it's not an option that I ever decided to pursue."

is pure BS - it's like his way-overly complicated explanation for not wearing a flag pin - which he later had to abandon.  Why not just say nothing.

On Bush - I think there were two elements - one, he didn't want to slog through the rice paddies carrying a rifle, and two, he wanted to be a pilot like his dad.

69 I don't know anything about Obama's fitness for service, but he does seem to move like he's concealing his grandfather's watch in his ass. I'm sure Andrew Sullivan would love to help him get it out.

70 I'm guessing you became a a cowboy that puts out fires. With his mind.

OOoooooooo, so close......

71 So Barry would have just finished his first year at Occidental College when Carter(spit) re-instated the selective service. So just where did he sign up?
He intimates he signed up in Hawaii but he was in Los Angeles. Or was he?
He hasn't released those transcripts. Occidental does not list him as Notable Alumni although  they list every celebrity  who attended. Even those whom they note: Did not graduate. But then they list him in an article on their website, written September 2, 2008 as class of 1983 but only attended from fall '79 to spring '81. When he transferred to Columbia, where no one can remember him.
WTF
You would think having the next Leader Of The Free Citizens Of The Socialist World would classify as Notable Alumni!
JUST WHO THE FUCK IS BARACK OBAMA!?!?!?

72
Well, we're in a war now. Two of them, in fact. If Senator Obama still feels the call to arms, my guess is that the Illinois National Guard or the Army Reserve would take him. He's not too old, for desk work anyway, and he looks like he's in pretty good shape. It would be interesting to see him practice community organizing in Iraq or Afghanistan: helping the locals organize self-defense against al-Qaida or the Taliban would be a real contribution. Well, senator?

73  I had the bright idea of dodging the draft by enlisting. Worked like a charm for 6 years.

74 McCain entered Annapolis right after the Korean War ended.  What a pussy.

75 I signed up to join the Navy at 18 years old in 1983 when I was inspired by Ronald Reagan. After Carter's ineptitude and the 'malaise' and hostage situation, I would have done a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g for Ronald Reagan and for my country.

There was a little fracas going on that people seem to forget about called the Cold War. I did some hairy shit on a submarine in the service of that one in places we weren't allowed to mention. On one day I'll never forget, we were seriously talking about what would happen to us if we were caught where we were (which seemed very likely at the time.)

Ronnie won that fucking war for us. And yeah, it was worth cranking up some debt to do it.

It wasn't until my 20th anniversary in the Navy that I was finally on a ship that fired a shot in anger. Shock and awe - lobbing cruise missiles from the Red Sea. Yes, I wrote a love note to Saddam on a Tomahawk and signed my name.

Just a few weeks ago I finally punched out. Yes, that was 25 years.

Barbelle absolutely nailed the military attitude toward non-military types. Yeah, Barry, you aren't the type. We know. We don't blame you for it if you'll just shut the fuck up about it and stay out of our way. Pretending you wanted to be like us just tells us you think we are stupid. STFU.

Mav/'Cuda 08!

76 Brown Line

Actually, I think Barack Hussein Obama II is too old for the Reserves.

In 2004 I went to our local Air Force Reserve base to see if they needed docs.

I was told the cut-off for the Army Reserve is 39, Navy 42, and the Air Force 47.

Now, maybe it's different for docs, but BHO could sign on as a JAG or do something.

As for me,  I met with the head neurologist in the Air Force, at the time they had 7 and they needed 27 (he told me they used to have 27 but in peace-time they cut back.)

Anyway, they closed the base (it was a C-130 unit and that was that.

Who knows, maybe they would still take him?

My congressman, Mark Kirk is a Reserve Naval Officer.

Just sayin'.

77 The services always need medical officers and will sometimes waiver age cut offs.  Wonder whether the situation is the same for lawyers?

78 If Obama really stated that he signed up for Selective Service after he graduated from High School, he has been caught in another lie.  He graduated from High School in 1979.  The Selective Service was not in existence from March 25th, 1975 when Gerald Ford ended it till July 21st, 1980, when the first men were able to sign up, after Jimmy Carter reinstated it on July 2nd, 1980.

79 Hmmm...I wondered when he was going to start sucking up to the pro-military voters.

As to joining, so what. I joined in '74; we weren't trading shots with anyone then, but there was no shortage of enemies to keep an eye on.  Besides, I didn't join hoping to go to war, I joined to defend our nation.  That was the only reason I needed.  [FYI-1st generation American, my father escaped from E. Germany.]

BTW-do I believe him?  Not for a f#^king minute.

80 This guy is shrewd!!! He must be thinking, "McCain/Palin are stealing my 'change' mantra so I'll steal McCain's military mantra!" Pure genius!!!!

81 So Barack H. Obama is playing "Catch Me If You Can" to the tune of the POTUS.

Nada records.
NADA!

82 You know, unless I'm mistaken, the cutoff for enlistment is currently 49, Senator...

83 #71 . So just where did he sign up?

Here is the info on that:
http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/obama-did-obama-actually-register-for-selective-service/2/

After contacting the Selective Service System for an answer several times since late June, Pajamas Media obtained official confirmation from the Selective Service System via email that Barack Obama did indeed register for the Selective Service as required by law, and is eligible to run for the presidency.

Mr. Owens,

Barack Hussein Obama registered at a post office in Hawaii. The effective registration date was September 4, 1980.

His registration number is 61-1125539-1.

I actually always thought that being a self-absorbed, leftist peice of shit Chicago Senator politician community organizer with a Messiah complex to be an honourable option after high school.  My parents would have kicked my ass had I done something that stupid, so I enlisted in the Marine Corps.

 

85 He probably did consider joining.  A lot of people do.  All he has to say is I thought about it and decided it wasn't what I wanted to do.  It's the explanation, oh we weren't at war, so I didn't join, that makes him sound silly.  But pretty much a non-story.  It's not like the military missed out on the next Patton or something.

86

It is only due to bad timing he didn't get his chance to kill livestock, cut off ears, ravage villages, blow up bodies, and behave in a fashion reminiscent of Jenjhis Khan.  You can do that in the peace time military, you just get in a lot of trouble.

87 Well, well, well...Barry O wanted to join the military at one time...like we should believe that line of fucking bull shit.  Dude does not have the fucking sack to visit wounded warriors either at Landstuhl or Ft. Hood, both locals where he had to cancel visits due to "scheduling conflict"...motherfucking sack of shit.  I spent 26 years in the Navy, and I'm fucking sick and tired of hearing members of the jackass party tell everyone that "we support the troops", but don't have the balls or integrity to visit them or their families at Walter Reed or any other military hospital.

John "Rice Paddy Daddy" Kerry
Barry "Kuwait Kid" Obama

Fuck the two of you and the donkey you rode in on!

88 Dear Barry,

     I've had a chance to let Ace dork me in the sqeakhole with the barbed cock of Satan.  But I decided to serve my country instead for the last 26 years of my life - both in war and in peace.

Sincerely,

Eeyore's Swinging Sack

PS - sorry to hear about your cash flow situation.  Why don't you ask the government for a bailout?

89 God, what a stupid, arrogant man.

McCain's chops on this issue are unassailable. This is like a guard trying to drive the lane and dunk on Shaq.

What a nitwit. Textbook case of affirmative action.

90

Is that Micahel Dukasis in the tank?  No, it's Barry Obam pretending to be a soldier!

I guess even our socialist friend Barry didn't want to serve under the commander and peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter!!!!

Obama, keep them coming please!  I hope you mention something about your Muslim faith soon! and something about your poor answer about abortion as well!

Wait, he said those things in the same interview?   PRICELESS!

91 The truth be told that I once considered being a cowboy and an astronaut and a double-naught spy and a fairy prince and an army officer and a break dancer. So does this mean I can be President too ?

92

Holy Crap was a pandering imbecile.  Does he really think he can get away with this.  What's next.  "I once thought about having a baby with Down's Syndrome, but you know...".

I bet the only mention of the world "miltary" in any of his Testiments (Old and New) also has the world "industrial complex" or "Junta" in the same sentence.

Wasn't this guy admittedly heavily into cocaine and God knows what in his "late teenage years"?  And we're supposed to swallow that he was thinking about joining the military?

93 "You know, I actually did. I had to sign up for Selective Service [a means of conscription in case of war] when I graduated from high school."

You and every other 18-year-old boy in the country, Senator! Sorry, but that doesn't make you a special little snowflake with a soft spot for the military.

94 Actually, in 1979 there was a 9,000-man Soviet infantry brigade setting up shop in Cuba to threaten us in case Carter woke up with hemorrhoids one morning and decided to interfere in the invasion of Afghanistan. Carter kept sending us to Green Ramp to 'chute up and look imposing.

95 Heh, Those internal poll numbers must be going down faster than a Bangkok whore.

96

Hey, I graduated in 1979.  I joined the Navy and did 6 years in submarines.  Seemed plenty of good work to go around, chasing commies.

Ends up that even though we didn't get to acutally blow any of them up, we contributed to their downfall by making it clear we could.  Not bad service overall I think.

97 He didnt join becuase he was afraid of killing any fellow commies becuase he is a big time adirer of CHE and a castro bootlicker

98 I am the same age as Obama.  I joined the Navy in 1979, the same year he claims he "aspired" to be in the Military.  I joined because of the Hostage Crisis in Iraq.  We had a major conflict that year: The Islamo-Fascists were holding 100 of our American bretheren hostage for 444 days.  That's more than enough reason to join Barry!

99

Oh, I see.  Because there just is no need to join the armed forces unless you get to blow people up.

This will no doubt come as quite the surprise to the millions of Americans who have joined the military over the last several decades without such a motivation, right?  Love of country, college tuition assistance, job training?  Nah...bunker busters and human entrails, baby!

100

Remember that Hillary was going to join the Marines. 

Anyway I wonder if Obama got any advice from his Commie sympathizing mentor, Frank, about joining up.

101

So Barry claims: "You know, I actually did. I had to sign up for Selective Service [a means of conscription in case of war] when I graduated from high school."

Funny, I remember when Uncle Ron revived registration at the post office, which was cancelled during the Ford and Carter years. All the moonbats screamed the draft was coming. Why do I think Barry is fibbing again?

 

102

Back in '62 I thought about becoming a priest. Yeah, and there was about as much chance of that happening as Barry becoming a military man.

So, instead I dropped out of high scholl and joined the Air Force. There was only the Cold War at the time, but you make do with what you have. Then that clot Loser Boy Johnson heated things up with a little foray into Southeast Asia. So after I got worn out baby raping, pilaging, and plundering, I got out and got a 'real job' after eight years of military savagery. But I really did want to be a priest. *snark* </sarc>

Barry I call you out as a snot bag stealer of valor. You are a pussy. You will always be a pussy. Live up (down?) to it boy.

 Jose Ferrer gives a great surprise speech at the end of 'The Caine Mutiny', basically about how Fred MacMurray and his cronies are a bunch of cockholsters.  Even though he represented the crew in the trial, he knew that Bogie deserved their support and respect, because he was out serving his country long before it was cool, before Pearl Harbor, before every guy knew he was never getting laid again if he didn't sign up. 

Captain Queeg was out serving his country in the boring times, when there was no glory to be had. There is something to be said for that, too.

105 *** Funny how all these Democrats wind up lawyers/activists/political hacks instead of astronauts, soldiers, and fighter pilots. *** Heh. Yep, Hillary said she walked into a Marine recruiter's office in Arkansas because se wanted to be a JAG. Sure. Can't really blame Obama for not wanting to join in '79 - serious fuck up time for the military. But it's not as if he wasn't eligible later on, too. Surely he would've seen a few ROTC students walking around campus during the Reagan renaissance that might've given him pause. Oh wait, he went to Columbia - they probably didn't allow the ROTC on campus. At least he might've noticed a JAG recruiter or two on campus when he was in law school. Oh, wait - he went to Harvard Law - they probably didn't allow JAG recruiters on campus. Oh, well - nice try, Barry.

106 "Yeah, I was thinking of joining the Air Army, or the Coast Navy, or whatever those military guys are called, the Marine Force or whatever.  You know, the guys who do all the military stuff . . . and I almost did it too! I really almost did!"

Gel beds are better for a few Jordan Retro 12 reasons. First, gel is one of few materials that has the ability to both provide support for your body's weight while still being comfortable. Intelligel beds are made up of gel columns arranged in a honeycomb pattern. Each column supports a certain amount of weight. Jordan Retro 12 When that weight limit is reached then the column buckles. This ends up meaning that the areas of your body that need to sink into the mattress (e.g. your shoulders, your hips) are able to while the rest of your body--your back, legs, etc.--is able to receive comfortable support. This means that with gel beds you'll be getting a more comfortable and healthier night's sleep each night.
