Chickenhawk College Republicans
A nice eight minute look into the kooky world of College Republicans. It starts with asking them why they support the Iraq war but are not prepared to serve.
Scary stuff, well worth a look. How similar is it to the Young Nats, do you think?
"asking them why they support the Iraq war but are not prepared to serve": this is exactly what Operation Yellow Elephant is trying to figure out: http://operationyellowelephant.blogspot.com/

Well, given the cowards Bush and Cheney who are their role-models - what do you expect?
Could any of these people even find Iraq ona map I wonder?

The video actually shows that a great many *are* prepared to serve - at least one of those "not prepared" had in fact applied but had been been turned down, and other had medical reasons why they could not join. They don't call it "America's finest" for nothing.
But there's a massive logic flaw here: why would people accepted into the army not be in the army, and instead be at a convention?
Of course, that's if you accept the idea that you can only support a war if you're in the army. Which is ridiculous.
Rather an unremarkable video actually.
