Young Republican excuses for not enlisting
- I'm doing crucial work in a factory that makes humvee armor.
- I'm a snotty fourteen year old neocom boy, leave me alone.
- My parents pay my college tuition, so it would be unfair for me to waste some needy person's enlistment benefits.
- I'm saving myself until I'm married. No, wait, could you repeat that question?
- Rather than join ROTC here at Liberty University, I chose the Baptist Blogger Club as my phys ed elective.
- If you don't ask, I won't tell.
- Since I've in favor of the draft, I'll gladly volunteer to be among the first conscripts.
- My fundamentalist religion forbids me to personally take up the sword.
- You liberals would LOVE for me to enlist. If too many Young Republicans are over there fighting the War Against Terror, there won't be enough of us to fight the War Against You Liberals here at home.
- Who me? I'm only a woman.
- Secretary Rumsfeld says we already have enough troops in Iraq.
- I have an unspecified, disqualifying disability.
- Thomas Jefferson was not a soldier. I suppose you hate him too.
