"Minnesota Nationial Guardsmen Pose Nude - Demand To Be Sent Home http://tinyurl.com/yntzr6 On January 10, 2007, it was announced that 2,600 Minnesota National Guardsmen would have their Tour in Iraq extended as part of President Bush's SURGE plan. Now they are stripping for their own freedom. A month ago, Minnesota Public radio reported: The president's escalation of the war in Iraq will come from extending the tours of some National Guard units, including one based in Minnesota. Gov. Tim Pawlenty said in a news release: "This decision by federal officials is not consistent with the expectation or understanding provided to our soldiers," he said. "It's unfair to them and their families." The news is a blow to family members of Minnesota Guard soldiers. At the time even REPUBLICAN Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) sent a blunt letterto Defense Secretary Robert Gates late last week bitterly complaining about how another extension of Minnesota troops in Iraq has been handled. “I am extremely disappointed to hear that the President’s decision to implement a troop surge in Baghdad will have a major, negative impact on the Minnesota National Guard,” Coleman wrote in the letter. “These soldiers have made the ultimate commitment to serve our country and defend our freedom. They deserve better than to find out just two short months before their planned return that their tours will be extended for at least another 125 days. Most don’t know when they’ll be coming home at all, and none know what their extended mission will entail.” But all this was before guardsman Jerry Lundegaard had a cunning plan. After reading on Newsvine (a popular Social News Web Site) that Michelle Manhart - an Air Force Drill Sergeant was recently removed from active duty for appearing nude in Playboy -- he called the local Newspaper with a proposal. And yesterday, 2,600 Minnesota Guardsmen posed naked, appearing in Editorial section of the local paper. "Believe me, seeing some of the guys in our squad pose naked is a far bigger crime than Miss Manhart's. Take me, I have a third nipple;" Gov. Tim Pawlenty: "Our Men and Women must be sent for home for posing nude - at least they should be taken off active duty like Miss Manhart. Republican Senator Coleman: "Normally, I don't support nudity, But this was tastefully done, no frontal nudity, just 2,600 freedom fannies. Clearly our children should be sent home.""

wow.

Traitors. The lot of them.

This might be the best plan to leave ever. Why shoot yourself in the foot when you can just strip?
