Open Message to Jonah Goldberg, Freepers, and other Iraq War Cheerleaders

[Best_man23]

Since all of you are so damn gung-ho on the Iraq War, I offer this suggestion. Walk down to your local Armed Forces Recruiter and tell them you want to join either the Army or Marine Corps. Be sure to ask for one of these two services, for if you choose the Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard, you are likely to miss the best opportunities.

Depending on which service (Army or Marine Corps) you decide to join, another recommendation. If you join the Army, be sure to ask for MOS 11B. If you join the Marines, ask for MOS 0311. These MOSs will ensure that you see the maximum amount of action in the hot desert sun.

If any of you had a single hair on your nether regions, you would do this.

Disclaimer: This post is targeted for the above named indivisuals and is not in any way meant to mock those brave souls who are and were in Iraq and Afghanistan. For your service, everyone at DU thanks you.

1. Jonah Goldberg's column is in our Sunday paper every week.

It's long, it's wrong, and it's boring. The guy is so out-of-touch. I think he spent his childhood on Mars.

Lucianne Goldberg. 'Nuff said!

2. Uh, at 48 I don't think they'd take me

Just curious, why do you thank those "brave souls" who fight ?

8. If you support the war, you should be over there.

You could serve in some capacity, regardless of age.

And I support the poor kids who were taken over there based on a lie, while elitist asshole neocon cheerleaders are allowed to sit over here in their ivory towers and yell, "Charge!" And by supporting them, I mean I hope they make it home intact.

3. If you think you're too old for the service...I'm sure Halliburton needs

truck drivers.
Tanker truck drivers.
For fuel.

5. Jonah can't go. He's got a kid.

He thinks that's a good excuse, anyway.

7. Sorry, I can't thank 'em

or suggest that anyone go fight a war that's so completely wrong. I can see where you're coming from with regard to Jonah Goldberg and his ilk, but sending them off doesn't make it any less wrong. And they're not gonna go.
