I'm no Fortunate Son

[Hedgehog]

The words of John Fogerty have never been more true.

When do you ever see a Senator son or daughter enlist in the Military?

Where are the service records of Chelsea and the Bush daughters?

I know their parents all support the war, so why aren't their kids there doing what their parents think is the right thing?

Look at the Congressmen. The Senators.

All those who were in favor of past recent wars.

Which ones of them have ever had relatives enlist?

It all reeks so fcuking bad.

I saw Jesse James and his Monster Garage the other night. Had some kind of "Army special".

How about enlisting Jesse? Putting your body where your mouth is?

All these big talking "country music" stars too, claiming to be "100%" behind the war.

I got news for them:

Nothing is stopping them from enlisting.

It's all fine and dandy to send young men and women you don't know into a war to die for a cause they don't know about.

But I wonder if GWB and Hillary Clinton would have the guts to do the same to their own kids?

Aren't you from Switzerland? Why so preoccupied with the USA?

[calmus]

Oh brother, talk about giving the McCain fans a soapbox. nice going, hedge.

Even though I despise Michael Moore, that was one thing I enjoyed watching him do... Walk around DC trying to get the Senators and Congressmen to have their children enlist in the military.

Mccain's son did a tour in Iraq as an enlisted Marine...his other son is at Annapolis.  Jesse James has been to Iraq (twice) to do stuff for the troops....many of the country stars have been over. Kid Rock etc....

Done stuff?

Name one of them who actually enlisted and did a tour of duty, went to the frontier and risked his life.

Instead of "showing cool trucks, huuh hey!!! Coolest ever yeah!"

The whole "Jesse James" deal is getting real old. Real fast.

No offence to the "dude" himself.

I'm sure he's just a faker, trying to cash in. Nothing wrong with that.


But where are all your country stars and such who's actually done tour of duty?

And not just went there for some brief gig in the desert?

[240 is Back]

yeah, 'playing music for the troops' is nice but hardly equal to serving in the military.

what 'stuff' did he do for the troops?

How about the twin pro football stars that enlisted in the rangers after 9/11 to name two

Pat Tillman and his brother (who I think played semi-pro baseball).

Pat died from friendly fire in Afghanistan and the Army brass lied to cover it up.

A fvcking disgrace.

I'm sure "Jesse James" custom built some "real cool uh... cars dude... coolest ever... awesome"

Custom builded some "sweet rides" for the "dudes in green". All random four of them.

Everything in front of cameras of course.
