Should conservatives be allowed in combat units?

Mott the Hoople

I personally don't think they should. I don't want the fire breathing yellow bellied chicken hawks getting me killed when they jump up and run away the first time a third grader with a stick threatens them. Maybe they should have a new military classification for them? 3C (Chickenhawk Conservative Coward).

Or better yet. We can create entire brigades of them and give them all megaphones that they can use to scare off enemy soldiers by bragging about how bad they are.
 
This thread would be funny if 80% of our military wasn't conservative.

Oh wait, no... it still wouldn't be funny.

So... you don't want a professional army Mott?

Oh good question. Not a large one. You do know that the history of Republics with large professional armies has been, don't you? I pretty much concur with the beliefs George Washington and Ike Eisenhower had on that subject......but of course....neither one of those two was a conservative chickenhawk.
 
This thread: another indication that, in order to become a full-fledged liberal, a prefrontal lobotomy is requisite.

I dunno. If this kind of crap is pretending to be moderate, imagine the shit he'd spew as an admitted far left liberal!

Yes, this is clearly left-wing... along with everything else he says. A moderate would hold some positions that are liberal and others that are conservative. Everything I've seen Mott write has been to the far left...

Sorry, but we on the left would not allow him in. Definitely right wing, though not one of the right wing lunatics.

I like Mott. I just wish he'd stop pretending to be a "moderate."

Oh I am a social liberal. Always have been. Have never met a social conservative who wasn't a bigot. I am a fiscal conservative but just because I reject vodoo economic systems like supply side economics doesn't make me a liberal. For that matter being to slighly to the left of Ghengis Khan or George W. Bush hardly makes one a liberal either.

The fact is, true liberals are a very, very small part of our political system. In our nation we have the left of center, the center, right of center, the right and the far right but the left and far left are a miniscule portion of our electorate that the far right wants to make into some sort of bogey man.

I don't fear the far left cause there so few and exist mostly, if the cowardly imagination of angry white rednecks. The far right, I fear. We saw the extremism that they were capable of during the Bush years.

You see the problem here is that most who identify themselfs on the right are on the far right.

Oh I'm definately a pro-business conervative on economics. I despise the social welfare state when used for other then a safety net too. My problem in politics in the US these days is that the right is composed of way to many on the far right who are just plain bat shit crazy.

Your post in itself is bigoted, biased, and shows a truly warped sense of reality,... its of little use to even respond to it in detail....

Its actually some truth, mixed with left wing hate propaganda that is so typical of today, and certainly Bush era rhetoric that has, without doubt been the cause of the divisive atmosphere in the country today....

Its "Palin hate" applied to the entire conservative side of politics....

When you can equate G. Bush with Ghengis Khan, it shows just how fuckin' radical and sick you are....anything you say after kind of bizarre, untenable observation has to be looked at from a totally different perspective...... but it does help us understand some of your other irrational, absurd posts that we previously overlooked as normal pompous, left wing crap.......

Not only should consevative's serve in combat, but also the rich too! We need to bring back the Draft and Public Service if you are fit for the military! We need shared sacrifice's when it comes to fighting and dying in our wars!
