Somewhere back there in an OYE post you gave me lots o props - I meant to say thanks, but by the time I went to post there were tons of others and lots of arguing.
So, now I say thanks.

General,
I regret to report that instead of targeting the yellow elephants, the Pentagon wishes to cast an even wider net in their quest for new recruits. Unless their collection of ethnicity indicates they're going to focus on WASPs? Because it's inconceivable they'd use this database to target minority groups for their enlistment efforts:

Suggestion: People who are able to rally 'round the Yellow ones should learn the words to "Over There." You should be able to find a nice military band recording to sing along to. I'll find all the lyrics on the internets and report back.
PS -- how 'bout printing out the NewsMax hat offer to distribute? The kids will need to provide some of their own gear; I'm sure that, in addition to their moms holding bake sales for body armor, the Army would really appreciate it if they brought their own hats.

Full lyrics:
Verse
Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun,
Take it on the run, on the run, on the run,
Hear them calling you and me,
Ev'ry son of liberty.
Hurry right away, no delay, go today,
Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad,
Tell your sweetheart not to pine,
To be proud her boy's in line.
Chorus
Over there over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming ev'rywhere
So prepare say a pray'r
Send the word, send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till it's over over there!
Verse
Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun,
Johnnie show the Hun you're a son of a gun,
Hoist the flag and let her fly,
Yankee Doodle do or die.
Pack your little kit, show your grit, do your bit,
Yankees to the ranks from the towns and the tanks,
Make your mother proud of you
And the old Red White and Blue.
I'll leave it to You Know Who to fix the "Hun" part to make it more appropriate to the current glorious success.

Lieber Herr General:
I am utterly devastated and disconsolate that the College Young Republicans are acting like Frenchmen and refusing to follow your proposal that they enlist to fight in the glorious cause. How typically Gallic!They must be descendents of the noblemen of the Ancien Regime who did not wish to spill its blue blood for the cause of freedom. Just like their Bourbon forebears, the campus Republicans would rather have the peasants do the fighting. And just like the Bourbons, "they never forget anything, and they never learn anything."

General,
Perhaps we should encourage the College Republicans to spend some of their cash on protective clothing for the troops. If they can't go themselves the least they could send a few vests to Iraq - ya know something symbolic.
"The College Republican National Committee (CRNC) is no longer a poor cousin to the Republican National Committee, dependent on a $150,000 stipend for survival. In 2003 and 2004, the CRNC raised $17.3 million. Most of the money went to pay fundraising costs, but more than $2 million was left over to hire field operatives, pay top officers and staff, and cover office and travel expenses."
Perhaps the Washington Post should be given advanced warning of Operation Yellow Elephant so that they can have their operatives in place on Friday.
"To submit press releases or announcements, please contact The Post directly at 202-334-6000 and asked to be put in touch with the department most closely related to the release. Each department has somewhat different criteria and procedures for press releases."

(Posted as a comment to other OYE posts as well, but heck, there OUGHT to be a central post where all "ops" comments are collected)
Since this "operation" was announced, I have been stopping by Army recruiting stations and picking up brochures. I have a fair stack at this point and have brought my (still) camera with me. Because I cannot take off early, I will be at the top of the stairs at the Crystal City Metro station at about 6:00 PM tonight (Thursday) looking for early arrivers (catch them young, train them right!). I *hope* to see plenty of you willing and able to distribute these flyers to appropriately name-tagged young patriots. If I don't see anyone, I will attempt to distribut them myself, but I do hope to see at least a couple of OYE stickers. I'll be the short fat bald and 50-ish guy with the prophetic "Army of One" bag in his hand and the camera around his neck.
After completion of the "leaflet drop" (or at ~7:30), I will be adjourning to Freddies Beach Bar at 555 South 23rd St. for refreshment.
As a side note, I had HOPED to pick up a supply of white feathers to hand those who refused the leaflets, but was not able to on short notice. Anyone with a supply is *urged* to bring them as an alternative to enlistment.

In an effort to make it as easy as possible for our valiant College Republicans to immediately take advantage of the enormous opportunities offered by the US Army Infantry, I have created a map suitable for copying and handing out to the US Army Recruitment Center closest to the Crystal Gateway Marriot, HQ for the College Republican Convention!
(actually the map sucks, because I can do graphics. But anyone creative is more than welcome to steal the idea, and make something much better!)

General, Sir, as you may recall in the Great War of '14-'18, handsome young men who ought to have been in uniform, but weren't, might be stopped on the street and handed a white feather.
Perhaps we should accompany yellow elephants with white feathers. I'm sure they'd look very nice on the Young Republicans. Match their white shoes, or something.

06.23.05 - 8:37 pm | #
Speaking of white shoes... There's a young feller who lives around here, and I see him out & about every day. In his white Navy recruiter uniform, putting up posters in every store & office building that will take them.
So, today, I'm down at the Dollar General Store, and Recruiter Boy comes in. Since he was talking to a friend of mine who works there, I did take a small moment to inform him about the basics of Operation Yellowphant. He was especially delighted to hear about the urinating logo. I also told him (since, sadly, I was unprepared for the encounter and had no magnets, stickers, or fliers ready) to google Jesus' General and get all the info & material that he'd need to send to every recruiter that he knows.
Seemed like a decent kid, with a good sense of humor. Here's hoping.

Sgt Radruss;
I was AF so we be even. They had grade inflation and an E-5 was SSgt E-6 was Tech Sgt (equivalent to Army SSgt., correct?)I was urged to re-enlist as I was sure to be promoted (I pretty much aced the exam)I said "Not 'no thank you' but 'no FUCKING thank you!'. One guy I knew who had a line number when I got out waited about 4 years to get the stripe.
I know that some of the recliner Rambos out there think they're badass mofo's and that us fat, gray farts don't have balls or give a rat's ass about our troops. Well, here's a shout out to all you KKKeyboard KKKonkeesterdorks: Go on down to some blue collar bar (or better yet an AmVets and start flapping your pie-hole about what a glorious war we be havin'--oh,but wait, don't forget to tell them that you, personally, don't what fear smells like.

Sorry for suggesting this so late, I've only just discovered the wonder that is OYE. But the recruitment offices could probably deploy small teams at a moment's notice - it's not like they're busy or anything.

06.24.05 - 12:36 pm | #
Daniel: any fun derived from the project is but a pleasant side effect. The objective is to force young Reps to acknowledge the smug hypocrisy of supporting "the military" as some remote abstraction, while refusing even to consider making the personal commitment that each individual serviceperson was proud to make.
Holding up a mirror to these kids and asking "when will you admit that your country needs you?" elicits flimsy rationalizations and evasions which protect them from admitting, maybe even to themselves, that they think they're too good for the service. But after being asked the same question 100 times, it's possible that some of these kids will actually start to examine the disconnect between their words and actions.
Anntichrist: forgive me, I'm new around here, so I don't know whether you live anywhere near the Virginia conference. Nor could I tell from your post whether your chat with Recruiter Boy resulted in anything beyond amusement on his part.
There's a difference between saying "I'm involved with this pointed yet hilarious OYE project, check it out online," vs. "hey, if you and your Army counterpart don't have a booth already, you should set up a table outside the conference this weekend - though I doubt you'll pick up many recruits, you might prick a few consciences."
The CRNC is now aware of OYE, and will have half-witted trashtalking points prepared to defend against the liberal vermin onslaught. But what happens if, after sneering their way past OYE pamphleteers, the young Reps turn a corner and bump into serious men in uniform?
When a kid who writes for all the e-world to see that "if I was [sic] asked by my country to join the military... I would do so in a heartbeat" - then scoffs when 100 commenters point out that his country IS asking him to do exactly that - meets a real live recruiter who asks him point-blank to enlist, how will that kid look the recruiter in the eye and worm his way out of signing the papers?

Ms. Chris:
That's why I provided Recruiter Boy with all of the appropriate links, as well as encouraging him to google the web for any & all references to Jesus' General and Operation Yellow Elephant. And explained to him that, even though he, personally, "couldn't" make the convention, that his Navy counterparts in D.C. and it environs COULD, and SHOULD.
I was just glad that he took all of this information with a good sense of humor, and he was particularly cracked-up by the pissing yellow elephant. I'd much rather have Navy guys smiling at me than calling the MPs, in other words.
I can't guarantee that it will result in a mass Naval response at the conventions (I told him about Vegas, too), but at least I put the bug into his ear, and got a pretty positive response from doing so.
But rest assured, next time I go out, I will be taking fliers with me, with all of the relevant information.

What chris said. I talked with a Sgt. Kraft today at the only recruiting station where I could find anyone answering a phone. He was unaware of the CRNC convention but knew where the the CG Marriott is. He wasn't as enthused as Sgt. Nauta was yesterday but said he'd check it out.
Folks getting any recruiters from any service to go over there and to upcoming meetings of any Repub group is good but I'd like to reiterate it's US Army Recruiting Command and both the Guard and Reserves that are suffering a real recruiting crisis. The Navy and AF are meeting their goals and the Marines have missed one month in the last ten years.
