"Operation Take One For The Country" (you ain't gonna believe this)

(shaking my head)

Warning: This link relates to sex, and as such may be NSFW. There's no nudity that I saw, but it's got "mature" themed content.

1. There are always women who

hang around bases looking to pick up military men, now we're supposed to believe they're just doing their patriotic duty?! Give me a friggin break!

[Mountainman]

2. Looks a little bogus to me

If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I think someone is trying to sell t-shirts.

You can be anything you want on the internet.

[Maine-i-acs]

3. Good for Freeper enlistment numbers

cause they finally can get some.

OTOH I can see some fellows checking in on that site to see where the girls are heading, then getting a short haircut and crying in their beers about "shipping out and being so lonely ..."

[DarkPhenyx]

17. No fair reading my mind!

I was even trying to think of where I last saw my reserve ID.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

4. How patriotic of them

The mind boggles, doesn't it? This is probably acceptable to the Bush maladministration; no abstinence for THESE women!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. I am suspicious. Is this for real?

:shrug:

[RoyGBiv]

6. Hmmm....

Well, I suppose one could find a uniform and hang out in the bars near a military base known to be deploying troops and see what happens.

I suppose if you were to wake up the next day with a sudden inspiration to write a letter to Penthouse, we'd know. :-)

[DarkPhenyx]

19. Drinking in uniform off base...

...is usually forbidden. Just get the stupid haircut and maybe a pair of army boots with a nice high polish.

[beyurslf]

7. A warning about the nature of that site would be appreciated.

Some of us are looking at this at work. :)

[DoNotRefill]

10. Done

Sorry, I didn't see any nudity, et cetera, and didn't think it was NSFW, but have added a disclaimer for you.

[RoyGBiv]

8. Weird...

Why did I have a sudden flashback of watching An Officer and a Gentleman?

:eyes:

[redqueen]

9. Sick sick sick

Really makes one wonder about what's motivating these females.

Yeah, it's real. Apparently this went on in previous wars as well.

on edit: I think the Daily Show featured an interview with the founder of this group.

11. "Girls Who Say 'Yes' To Guys Who Say 'No'"

... a rather famous activist female student organization with origins (I was told) at Berkeley during the Viet Nam War era. It was based on a popular (Joan Baez?) slogan of the day - one which has been incorporated into many Women's Studies programs.



As women involved in the movement began to communicate with each other, they unearthed common experiences -- strong and self-respecting mothers and supportive and politically-active families, and "they shared stories about the opposition they had met in school or SNCC or SDS." Many saw their own experiences on the left as part of a larger social system which discriminated against women, hence the admonition that "the personal is political." Toward that end, women began to focus on the questions of both their identification and their social roles. They held consciousness raising sessions to discuss common problems and plan collective action and to take a political role on women's issues. Intensifying that process was Vietnam. As the war took over center stage on the left, radicalizing the CR agenda and turning SDS into almost exclusively an antiwar group, women found themselves outside the mainstream still. In the CR struggle or ERAP, women could be on the front lines--marching, desegregating public places, registering voters, organizaing the poor, facing arrest and violence. But women were auxiliary to antiwar activity. "Men were drafted, women were not. Men could resist the draft; they burned draft cards; they risked jail." And women were supposed to support and nurture antiwar men. The "action and awareness of a mother or young lover who hides or protects her man from the draft" was highly valued, and "Girls Say Yes to Guys Who Say No" was a common slogan of the movement.

12. My friends were talking about utilizing this...

We're going to the Bahamas in a few weeks, and we're all shaving our heads for the summer. They want to say we're about to ship out, so please sleep with us pretty girls at nightclubs.

It's underhanded, but it sounds like a smart plan...(yes, my friends are total assholes.)

on edit: ok, these girls are fascists, let's be clear.

[Mountainman]

14. Take along a lot of penicillin and rubbers

The kind of girls that will hump you because your shipping out are trying to find someone to support them.

[DoNotRefill]

15. Unless, of course, you consider....

the risks of having sex with people who would fall for this line....

If you're gonna pretend to be Military, DON'T FORGET TO WEAR YOUR HELMET!!!!

;)

[MAlibdem]

16. hahaha...

two identical "don't get stds" responses, excellent

[Scairp]

13. Heard about this weeks ago

Not sure if it's for real or not. I did see something on a talk show but I cannot remember which one. It might like that thing last year where women were supposedly being hunted naked and shot with paint guns, and it turned out to be just some porno site publicity stunt.

18. Likely hoax

They publish a radio interview:

http://www.takeoneforthecountry.com/interview.asp

and you can see how no one has been able to locate KDRZ or Green Clover Media:

http://www.google.com/search?num=20&q=KDRZ

The article they feature is by some schmoe named John Truman, who has no record of having authored articles elsewhere:

[redqueen]

21. The founder was interviewed on the Daily Show, I think

This isn't new, either. It's been done in other wars as well.

[charlie]

22. Other wars,

and between wars. There's never been a shortage of military groupies just outside the base gates.

But this site, if they're not lying, they're embellishing.

[WilliamPitt]

20. Single women sleeping with soldiers before they ship out?

Heh. The phenomenon has been around since...oh, I'd say since the first soldier was ordered off to the first war. I suppose we could define this as progress. The phenomenon has a website now. Thanks, Bill Clinton, for building that bridge to the 21st century.

:eyes:

[TahitiNut]

23. (hmmmm...) I didn't see anything about "sleeping."

:eyes:

Their T-shirt seems designed to be read by TALL people. (Glad I'm tall.)

[mmonk]

24. military groupies

:eyes: (no offense to our people serving).
