Now here's something I can agree with: Operation Yellow Elephant.

If you support the Afghanistan/Iraq/Iran/Syria actions, and are eligible for service (healthy, clean record, and under 40), you need to volunteer to help fight it. The Army is very shorthanded, and as a consequence burning people out with back-to-back tours in the combat zone. This is not a positive step toward victory and stability in those regions.

If you are not eligible to actively serve, then you can still encourage your friends and relatives that are to enlist, and help support returning disabled veterans as they return to civilian life. It's a patriotic duty, to put you life, time and/or money where your mouth is.

Doubly nice, since not only do I not fulfill all those requirements, I don't fulfill any of them. :)

What? You think war supporters should put their own butts on the line? Personally I think it's a great idea. Also, those too old to fight can help financially support the war by purchasing body armor for the troops, Sending food and munitions, making their humvees more safe than the H2's you see cruising the Front Range. Oh, that's not only putting your butt on the line, that's putting your cash on the line too. What a concept.
