Aloha Daze

About 8 weeks ago, I visited the America Supports You website and sent a supportive note to the troops.

Recently I received the dogtags that they mention on their website.

Frankly, the dogtags are a cute idea, but I don’t know if I’ll wear them regularly. These tags, to me, represent the troops that serve and have served. The troops that have retired, and the ones that will never come home. I have much respect for those troops, so I don’t know if I want to belittle the idea of dogtags by wearing these.

Having said that, I’m tempted to do so anyway. The military presence here on Oahu is strong: many times have I seen the flyboys in the air with (I assume) their F-14’s in training, the many convoys of equipment on the freeways, and the men and women relaxing for a moment at a restaurant near one of the bases.

Unfortunately, what’s equally strong is the liberal moonbat attitude I’ve seen from some of the student body – as well as the University of Hawaii itself. The usual “Bush Lied” ™ rhetoric can be heard when near the brainless masses.

It’s all about freedom of speech at UH Manoa… unless, of course, they disagree with the topic.

I should wear my dogtags, go buy a Club G’itmo shirt, wear an EIB Rush Limbaugh cap, and go find a big fat liberal moonbat meeting where I could just sit.

Doubtful that I’d have to say a single word, I’d probably get the usual moonbat response without saying a single thing: lots of yelling.

Unlike the students that protest just to hear their own voice, though, I have more important things to do.

Like supporting the troops, and cheesing off liberals.
