    I just wanted to point out that it probably cost next to nothing to put that on for the Army. I have no idea what the university charged for participation, if they charged anything at all. That could be expensive, or not.

    Agree on mismanagement, however... there is mismanagement aplenty in the military, but it starts at the top, with the civilian "leadership."



    Keep D&D Civil.

    I want to come clean.

    Liberals at a job fair protested army recruiters there.

    I am also a liberal.

    Therefore, I hate our troops. All of them.

    The crushing force of bigtexxx's logic has cornered me. I have nowhere to go. I can only confess.

    I'm referring mainly to the cost of the soldiers' time. If this is representative of how they are targeting recruits, I would bet they could reduce the amount of troops serving as recruiters and associated overhead by at least 20%. Use that cost savings to train intelligence officers to track down bin laden.

    Was your buddy recruited at a campus career fair?

    The only concrete around here is lodged within someone's cranium.

    I don't know when he was recruited but its not like the cost of those things would buy a humvee; maybe all fairs put together but their going to get a lot of guys from those...


    As for texxx's argument, yeah ummm...anybody catch the logical reason, cause I ummm missed it.

    Not to mention, nowhere does it indicate the party affiliation of said 40 members. There are plenty of Republicans in Congress now wanting to withdraw from Iraq (for example, Mr. Freedom Fries).

    Rice educations don't appear to be worth very much these days. They don't even teach you how to critically think instead of stereotype. Sad.

    Nothing wrong with the Army recruiting at a job fair as long as they are making the risks clear. What are they suppose to do afterall?

    The supposed liberal message is diversity and freedom of speech and opinion yet its ironic that they fight so hard to eliminate opinions that they disagree with.

    I especially like the sentence where the author says what the military does is despicable. These folks have no idea what the price of freedom is.

    A valid point if you restrict it to those who do it. Certainly its a valid critique of CAMEO, but its a fallacy to then apply that to all liberals.

    I don't see where the author says that.

    I am slighty amused at the scatterbrained nature of this organization. They are against the war in Iraq, ok. But what's their problem with the NSA and DIA?

    In a world where George Tenet has 'slam dunk' intelligence on WMD, when Intelligent Design is regarded as science, this article is indeed concrete proof that "liberals hate the troops." Liberals like myself, for instance, who work at - oh i dont know, let me just hypothetically say that I work at a Veterans Hosptial, let me just pull that out of the sky - this is proof, concrete indisputable proof, scientific proof, unequivocal proof that liberals like me hate the troops. Damn you troops! I hate you! Why am I working here! Because I hate you! Troops are what I hate!

    Thanks for the update, bix.

    bigtexxx, judging by your standards, do you think there is concrete proof that bush & cheney cabal misled the country to war??

    also, can you say slamdunk instead of concrete proof to sound more consistent with your kind??

    Well, Hilary and Kerry voted for the war, so I think you may need to include a few people in your definition of "cabal".

    As did many who did so on the basis of the intelligence presented to them. Naturally most of these people aren't hanging around the white house listening to white house strategists planning how to show off their WMD intelligence.

    Not really, they had ridiculous partisan bickering in their times as well.

    Exactly, and we're not past it yet.
