31. I am neither shocked, nor surprised...
that a RW'er would bail when the heat is on. It is their MO.

I work with a couple of people that are RW'ers, and they jumped on the bandwagon for war; I offered to take them to the recruiter of their choice, but I had no takers. I use the same line any time I hear the insanity of standing by bush on Iraq. If the offender is older, I ask if they will volunteer their children or grandchildren.
Needless to say, no takers.

It is always easier to get others to do your fighting, why get dirty if you can get the other guy to lay in the mud for you? Bunch of cretins if you ask me. I've spent many a night in the mud and rain, in the heat and dust, and the ice and snow. I did it willingly, although I griped, like every good soldier should. But I, like those before me, those with me, and those that came after, believed in what we were doing, and we were willing to sacrifice comfort, or our lives, if the cause was just. Freepers cannot understand this, they have no dignity.
