"The photograph to the right is of real servicemen serving in Iraq, not toy soldiers, but real heroes. Of course, the cowardly twits on the left wouldn't know the difference. Let me tell you about The Kommandos Project.
The idea is that these brain dead numbskulls place a handful of toy army men in a public place with what they deem a clever anti-war slogan stuck to the figure's leg... then they just - run away. That's right. It's that stupid. It's that inane. Then they report back to Kommando Central with not so pithy stories about their brush with certain tedium.
"Kommander American reporting, Sir. Kommandos successfully deployed, Sir, and at their posts. Photos will be available as soon as the military photographer transfers them from camera to her computer and thence to mine."
"Forget images from me, I can't figure the digital camera thing out."
"I am happy to report that while in the heart of Republicanville (Riverside County, CA), I was able to deploy 15-20 troops at a place called "Tom's Farms" - a freeway side compound of fun, games, restaurants, rides and shops... Unfortunately, I wasn't able to wait around and see what happened to the troops." Way to commit, Helen.
These are grown men and women acting like giggling, spoiled children. They have reduced themselves, and their cause, to new levels of banality. Even my kids were laughing at them."
Espella! What a pleasure to have you stop by and pump our traffic. 7 gratuitous insults in a single comment. You've outdone yourself.
I suggest that you take a look at the map on the left and then, when you have managed to accomplish one thing that puts your ludicrous words into actions, please get back to us--since...as it stands now, you do nothing but talk and so ridicule from our side would be pointless.
But, till then, please feel free to give us free press anytime you want.
I have a suggestion for espella. Go down to your local Army recruiting office and join up. That would certainly be putting his words into action.
Very Good. Keep it Up.
The whole world should join the war against war. We need peace and love at this time.
The moment has come to unite as brothers and sisters and live together as humans irrespective of our religion.
May Allah Bless all of you my dear friends.
well kvatch for some reason this page had a hard time loading and the comments would not open. Not sure what that is about. But I wanted to acknowledge the efforts, and send some encouragement. I am aware of your project, and have helped with other such toy figure efforts. Its a simple way to make a statement. But on this weekend, I did not sign on more because of the "memorial" aspect.
Honestly and not that it matters, I do not engage in protest activities during Memorial Day because I often attend services for relatives. I am quite willing to act and speak out the rest of the year but simply try to keep politics and my views away from my desire to remember and join those around me that grieve.
I do wish you luck with your future efforts and might be able to participate in the future. Just not Memorial Day weekend. Obviously freedom of speech holds 365 days, 24-7. But for some, this weekend is not about barbecues and sales on towels- it is a somber day of remembrance. Of course there have been and will be many lives lost for causes we do not think justify it. And there is nothing wrong with saying so. There is nothing wrong with having a barbecue either. But I try to remember that the day has different meanings for different people.
Espella,
You have no clue about how to get to peace do you?
Civilian Country Gal writing in. I saw the little green men and I love the idea. I will get some toy soldiers and put them out too. I want to join the Kommando Project. Is it too late? Do I have to have a blog?
What's the matter with that guy up at the top?
Ms. Country Gal,
Not at all, never too late to join the project. If you'd like to join as a "Kommander" (i.e., someone who can make their own posts here at the project), then just send me an email. There's a link to my profile with my email address a little further down. Just look for Kommander Kvatch. You'll need a Blogger account which is easy to create but not necessarily your own blog.
Otherwise you can simply place a marker on our "Kommander's Map" for yourself and add your photos and places to the "Memorial Weekend Protest Map".
Sincerely,
Kvatch
Worried, any chance you could turn said raints into a bonafide post? That was good stuff.
I'm fighting, but more of a 'single soldier' so far...

Espella Humanzee misses the point, but this comes as no surprise to Kommander DivaJood. While I normally try to ignore his personal attacks on this, and other blogs (primarily directed at Kommander Helen Wheels), I feel that I need to comment here.
What he fails to understand is that this whimsical action invites people in; it ignites curiosity; people pick up the soldiers, and read the tags. Most often, they pocket the toy soldiers. Sometimes they leave them for others to see. But all across America, Kommanders and Kommandos are leaving a peaceful message: Get us out of Iraq. People are responding.
This is not a laughing matter; we are not acting like "giggling, spoiled children." Nor are we protesting in an agressive posture (although I've done my share of that during the Viet Nam War.)
This is an elegantly crafted action. This is an action that will gather steam and momentum until the entire nation speaks with one voice: Bring our Soldiers Home NOW.
And how will this goal be accomplished? One plastic soldier at a time. Without namecalling, without stooping to personal insults.
Please notice: Mr. Humanzee posts with impugnity on many of our blogs; however if one of us does the same, he deletes the post. For him, basic freedom of speech does not extend both ways.
So, in future, I suggest this: let him post. Just don't respond. Don't acknowledge. Eventually, he will go away.
We're playing around? Did you see the commander in chief in his fucking flight suit on the deck of an Air Craft carrier have the nuts to pull a photo op with how many of our troops dead already? Mission Accomplished my ass. Go ask your make pretend commander in chief to start another made up war, but next time you and him can fight it.
I hope it's never too late because I let the weekend get away from me somehow.
The girls and I left flowers on a memorial instead and we still stand on our little corner with our candles every Friday. Next time, I'll pass out some soldiers. I already told them about the project.
If you're still speaking to me, I'm still in.
You Go, Station Agent and DivaJood!! Bush was the smirking schoolkid playing like he was a real pilot even though everyone knows about his "service" record.
Winspike. I may post a rant. I have occasionally ranted on mine and Granny's blog. I rarely comment at all on my two war blogs. No one reads them anyway so I just post urls for myself. I may go on a soapbox again. Thank you for the appreciative comment.
Worried, that was a beautiful post! Please do blog it! I especially, really, appreciate you telling Sasparilla (my nickname for Espella) it like it is. And I cannot stop laughing that you thought he was a woman because he is a misogynist of the highest order.
It should tell us much that Sasparilla made a point of assaulting this site and mine all weekend. Obviously, we hit a chord.
I think this mission was amazing. I just watched "Bagdad ER" last night on HBO. If you can stomach it, watching that shows what this madministration has done to our soldiers. It's horrific. I make myself watch these things. And pics from the horrors of war in Iraq. Why? Because our country is doing it -whether we approved of it or not. I figure it's my duty.And now, I also figure it's my duty to spread soldiers with anti-war messages on them. Because anyone who sees one will react. Who knows how? I think this weekend was a rousing success.
thanks again, Kvatch, for all your hard work.
Fools like Sasparilla do nothing and criticize those who act. What a putz.
Every little soldier makes a difference. The Red Zone war mongers rants have proven this.
Mission is Not accomplished until every GI is out of Iraq. I will not stop until they are. Peace.
Yeah...that HBO program was difficult to watch...I hope many more Americans got a chance to watch it...it is very sobering.
I only saw the last 10 minutes of that program last week and it was, to say the least, quite sad.
I have the utmost of respect for people trying to help heal/save lives, but under these
circumstances, well, we all know why the administration doesn't want anyone to see flag drapped
coffins, body bags, or wounded in any of their "war zones".
Here's hoping we at some point get beyond the 2 party system.
From a mere child, I've never understood our so called freedom in this realm, when we only have 2 choices, bought by money?
Sigh, sorry,............
If you're still speaking to me, I'm still in.
KOMMANDER GRANNY, A PERSONAL CELEBRATION OF THE HOLIDAY IS **ALWAYS** IN ORDER!!! WE WILL EXPECT REPORTS FROM THE CENTRAL VALLEY FRONT AT YOUR CONVENIENCE!
K.K.
Worrried, you have an amazing way with words! You tell him.
I watched Baghdad ER last night. Those doctors and nurses are incredible. If you don't have HBO you can still see it. I've posted a link on my blog where it can be watched in it's entirety.
"May Allah Bless all of you my dear friends."
Oh boy. I was right. Al Qaida really is on your side, boy!
