War supporters, have you signed up?

Come on, guys, the National Guard says only 1 weekend a month, and 2 weeks a year. It's really not much.

Well, I am to old now and plus I have a growing family. They probably wouldn't take me even if I did try and join. Plus I make almost double what an enlisted private in the Army makes. Why the hell take a pay cut?

Family first.

Well, yes, I was replying to the pay cut thing. You made it sound like you'd join the army if it was without a pay cut.

Yes, probably.

15 years over the enlistment max age you are TX. 

I voted anti-war.  I remember being about an hour from SF when all the buildup was going on.  I remember being pretty anti-protest as well, you'll recall.  I still don't understand how throwing a newspaper stand through a korean store owner's store window helps the people of Iraq. 

I wish there was an option for "still abjectly anti-war, but don't get me confused with those violent leftist anti-war types."  Actually, there was a pretty good article in the SFgate about SF republicans against the war, and how the manifestations of their antiwar mentality were decidedly different than the childish and often damaging manifestations of the anti-bush antiwar crowd.

Most of the millions who protested were not violent. Stereotype much? There were at least a quarter million peaceful protestors in SF (including me). I didn't see anyone who was violent. How do you know that the person who threw the newspaper stand wasn't just trying to make the anti-war people look bad?

Non-violent, eh?  So that is why they clashed with police here in Erie after the cops told them to stop blocking the main streets?

There were 20 million people peacefully protesting that day. Who gives a sh**t about a few bad apples who may have been trying to make the 20 million peaceful protestors look bad.

I really doubt their were 20 million just like I doubt their were a million men at the million man march.
