1. Ask them why he can't be bothered to show up at their funerals.

2. I found this line interesting
"Just imagine being the president and being in a country that you are at war against..."

Mission accomplished indeed.

3. Wow - got some real nobrainers in there
I assume you're p8ntball?

I especially love that last poster (though might not be last by the time other people read it) "calling you on the carpet" about the lack of armor for the troops - he said, "hey - he's only been president for three years."

WTF?!

5. OMG! Another guy accuses Gore "running away from the enemy"
F---!! Gore WAS IN war! he volunteered for it, while Chimpy was back home, not showing up and refusing to take the military drug tests.

Where do these assholes get their info?

Oh yeah - they just make it up, based on what they like from Faux and a haphazard melange of their own idiocy, snippets from their friend's drunken oratory, and just some in general deep wishing for it to be true.

6. Post a link
Post a link to a website that'll show them where the nearest recruiting station is. Then ask them to post the reason they aren't signing up, or urging a loved one to sign up.


You can laugh later as either no one responds to it, or read the hilarious bullshit reasons they don't.

8. Good Idea
I was in a different fourm when some guy mouthed off that we had "liberated an oppressed people" (the Iraqis) and that it was justified, and right to do...and if it meant more bloodshed, well, then so be it.

So I then asked him why, if he SO believed this...why wasn't HE over there, shedding his OWN blood, for the cause. After all it is pretty easy for Repukes to be cavalier about the spilling of other people's blood.

You know what his response to me was??

"Well, when and if they start up a draft, I'll go."

My response was, "Why wait for a draft? If you so fervently believe in the cause...GO NOW!!"

His response...dead air.

7. How could Hillary have passed a policy forbidding the wearing of military
uniforms?

I mean, if it's true, it's disgraceful, but I can't imagine that ) she would, or even could if she wanted to.

9. Ask for a Link/Some PROOF!
People can't just make statements like that w/o backing them up! I Googled "Hillary White House ban military uniforms" and didn't find CRAP! Call him on it!!

10. I googled around for it, too, on a few different searches
and couldn't come up with anything. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist - it just means that on the web there are 900 million web pages that mention Hillary, White House, and military, and many variations on those. I didn't feel like sifting through everything.

11. I don't like going through it all either.
But the person who made the claim should have to back it up! I got attacked by someone on another board for saying that Bush let the bin Laden's fly out of the US after 9/11 when the other planes were grounded. Fortunately you can google THAT and come up with tons of links!

12. I especially like this statement
"And there's a reason he didn't just wander around a combat zone in his armored limo. For one, not everybody packs armored limos in the carry on luggage But frankly he's simply not allowed to take that risk. The secret service would shoot him themselves to save time! He did a big thing by going to the combat zone and seeing his troops. For security reason he really couldn't stay longer, which is too bad, I'm sure other troops would have wanted to see him too."

Thousands greet Clinton as he arrives in Kosovo
