Like Vietnam. You know, that war?

Anyway, I question the order to not wear your uniform. Ordering that is an act of cowardice.

There is no such occurance called the "Viet Nam War." The U.S. involvement in Viet Nam was a "police action."

It was certified, bonified, verified and petrified by the Uniteed Nations. Yes, that organization of high moral quality. Yep, the same entity that turns its back on mayhem, genocide and starvaation, unless the U.S. leads the way.

Just gotta love them U.N. hypocrites.

and clinton didnt have sexual relations.

c'mon, it was a war regardless of petty technicalities.

I am a Second Year cadet in Army ROTC. I wonder if this is going to spill over into Hawai'i?

It doesn't matter what the UN calls it. It would be unfair to every soldier in it to not call it a war.

Purdue ROTC (Army) issued the same order on September 11, 2001

Wasn't that out of respect, and not to "avoid conflict"?

The order was given well before the towers collapsed to my knowledge. Why would have been out of respect?

I don't know, but because of the date I assumed it was for that. Do you know why it was given?

I was told by my old roommate who is in the Army ROTC that they wanted to avoid any and all problems that might arise. We have a large population of overseas students and no one was sure what might happen.

I don't agree with that either. You should never be afraid to wear your uniform, especially on US soil.

I hope that nothing happens to either side...and that neither side starts anything.

I doubt they were afraid, but instead cautious. My roommates and a few other of the ROTC guys I know were pissed they did not get to show their pride.

I would have been too. I was in ROTC in high school, and if they had told us not to wear our uniforms because "something might happen", I know about 75% of our class would have probably worn them anyway.

Yeah, same with my class.

Then they are governed by liberal appeasing cowards

There is no way in hell if I were in ROTC that they would forbid me from wearing my uniform for this reason. I'd go up the chain of command until I found a CO that has not been neutered by PCness, then I would wear my dress whites.

Wear a sign around your neck
"I cannot wear my uniform because my CO is afraid it might embarass and provoke peaceful hippy beatniks into a frothing rage of violence and hatred"

Bad P.R.

We were told the same thing for Sept 11th 2001. Just precautions, they don't want any news about cadets dying or causing a rukus.

I put my money on the cadets. Since when is self defense bad PR? It's a cop out if you ask me

Just something I noticed today, in one of our school papers there is an article, and the author was observing a Not In Our Name "peace" demonstration, during which one of the speakers, "screaminng militantly into the microphone, 'Down with the Zionist State! We SUPPORT terrorism!'"

So, yeah, thats the kind of people this organization is made of... or at least, they let them speak "in their name" 😛

This is why I am for sterilization of retarded people....not mentally retarded, just those that have mental capacity yet do not know what to do with it so they find a cause stupid or not and champion it with their little retarded brains.
