Operation Yellow Elephant continues

Daily Kos :: I'm fed up:

"Subject: It's Monday morning dudes. It's time to get up, it's time to get up, it's time to get up in the moorrrnnnnning! Those are the lyrics to reveille. I know it sounds like a French word but it's really not. It's the song the bugler blows to wake you up when you're in the Army! Isn't that cool? My mom used to sing that to us all the time when we were little to get us out of bed until my big brother threw a lamp at her. She was an Army brat when she was a kid. As a matter of fact she was born in the Panama Canal Zone when her parents were stationed there. She loved the Army life, always says moving from one fetid swamp to the next third world hellhole at the drop of some general's hat, never staying in one place long enough to make any real friends was the best kind of life for a child. ? ? ?
But enough reminiscing. By now you know why I'm writing. I just checked your website again and still no link to GoArmy.com. Why? Have you been infected by a virus or something? Or is it just apathy? I see so much apathy and downright traitorous behavior lately I'm getting disheartened. Walter B. Jones, the congressman from NC who invented 'freedom fries' now wants an 'exit strategy'. Chuck Hagel, also ostensibly a Republican but obviously a trojan jackass in horse's ass clothing says 'we're losing in Iraq'. It's like these legislators have been replaced by Demorat pod people. Even my own parents don't seem to care anymore. I called yesterday to wish my dad a Happy Father's Day and asked them to help me convince you to enlist. When I read them my previous missives my mom said, 'Mark, you need to get laid.' My dad just hung up the extension. And they even voted for President Bush!!! Twice!!! I gotta tell ya that was a real blow and I got more than a little weepy after that. It's so frustrating trying to be brave and stay the course when everybody seems to be turning all sissy mary on me.
Here's the thing. Hagel is wrong. Jones is wrong. My mom's right but that's irrelevant. We're not losing in Iraq!!! WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT!!!! We're building 14 permanent bases there, does that sound like we're losing? We killed over 500 insurgents last week alone. That's real progress! If you add it all up we've killed over 26,000 of the islamofacist ne'er-do-wells since March 2003. Pissant Sunnis (the enemy) make up about 20% of the population of Iraq. Iraq has about 25 million people. At the rate we're killing them it'll only take...hang on, I'm figuring it out right now...um, never mind. WE'RE NOT LOSING, OK?!!! ?
I'm back. Phew that was close. I got so worked up I almost choked on my Count Choculas. I have to remember to take small bites. Look I've about had it. I let you guys rest on the Lord's day yesterday and didn't bother you. But unless I hear back from you or see a GoArmy.com ad on your website by tomorrow I'm telling. That's right, I'm going to write to President Bush and Karl Rove, and yes I mean THAT Karl Rove, not the
one who was indicted for selling child pornography in 1989, and tell them that you're a bunch of shirkers. I know they'll listen to me and you're gonna be in big trouble. So there. Do you want that? Do you really? Then please do as I ask so we can all get back on message comparing Dick Durbin to Adolf Hitler or Neville Chamberlain or whatever it's supposed to be. ?
As always I remain stumped by your indifference. Your comrade in arms, Mark Garrity"
