I think most of the cadets at Dartmouth would agree with you. I would much rather not have to go into the military and pursue a PhD. But there remains important work to be done around the world, especially in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>To the anonymous Dartlog poster: I commend Rollo for serving our country. But what are the rest of you guys doing? How many care packages have you sent to soldiers in Iraq? How many donations have you made to Iraqi of Afghani children's charities? When was the last time you hugged a war widow or even talked to a soldier. Don't ever say that liberals can't defend our country. Do you know what kind of hypocritical message you send when you go around with signs in counterprotest to war demonstrations even though none of you (save Rollo) has stepped up to the challenge of defending this nation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1115148595013486982005-05-03T15:29:00.000-04:002005-05-03T15:29:00.000-04:00I'm aware Dartmouth won't be getting bombed, and b...I'm aware Dartmouth won't be getting bombed, and by saying I support "demilitarization" in general I meant that if the whole world just chilled and cut their armed forces in half -- sort of like nuclear disarmament -- perhaps the world would be a better place. Just imagine. Imagine, man.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading the blog.Chris Batemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291663468034899114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1115132932075552312005-05-03T11:08:00.000-04:002005-05-03T11:08:00.000-04:00Welton, I believe you'd have to salute one of thos...Welton, I believe you'd have to salute one of those "Dartlog.net pogues," Rollo Begley '04, former TDR Political Editor and Dartlog.net contributor was a second lieutenant in the army last time I checked and on the verge of another promotion. He much preferred chutes and ladders to croquet, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1115125084640924372005-05-03T08:58:00.000-04:002005-05-03T08:58:00.000-04:00Hello, I'm Welton, one of the ROTC students here a...Hello, I'm Welton, one of the ROTC students here at Dartmouth, and a loyal LittleGreenBlog reader (am I the first person to post that?). Here's a shout out to all the dartlog.net pogues who cry out for war but can't do more than talk about it during croquet matches.<BR/><BR/>The aforementioned "militarization" of college campuses is a technicality that is not observed to any great degree. Terrorists are not going to bomb Dartmouth. If this rule were to be observed then we as cadets would be allowed to carry sidearms anywhere we went to protect ourselves from possible enemy attack. Rest assured, none of us are packing heat (or want to). <BR/><BR/>Peace out, fartlog rocks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1115070181889957192005-05-02T17:43:00.000-04:002005-05-02T17:43:00.000-04:00Oh thanks for the correctionOh thanks for the correctionChris Batemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291663468034899114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1115058607074500712005-05-02T14:30:00.000-04:002005-05-02T14:30:00.000-04:00'preying on high school students' in the natural/a...'preying on high school students' in the natural/animal struggle sort of way. perhaps they are being 'prayed' on as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
