We here at the This Ain&#8217;t Hell Secret Squirrel Operations Center have come into possession of some of the questions from one of our operatives;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Which best describes your relationship to the war in Iraq;<\/strong><br \/>\na. I served honorably with at least one complete tour in Iraq.<br \/>\nb. I joined during the war against Iraq hoping to go but I never left my home state.<br \/>\nc. I joined during the war against Iraq, but as soon as I found out that they actually planned on sending me, I bravely ran like a scalded ape to Canada.<br \/>\nd. I served in Poland and Korea during the Iraq War &#8211; which is almost like combat.<br \/>\ne. I was within sight of the Pentagon on 9-11-2001 and drew my weapon from the arms room, but then I took leave.  I caught PTSD from the pizza guys who used to deliver at the barracks where I pulled CQ runner?<br \/>\ne. I first heard of Iraq at this recruiting table while filling out this application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which best characterizes your military service;<\/strong><br \/>\na. I was honorably discharged with many real awards.<br \/>\nb. I have an honorable discharge, but I&#8217;m willing to put it in jeopardy by making useless points and engage in mental circle jerks.<br \/>\nc. I was OTH discharged because I got tired of doing stuff. I stopped by the PX on my way off-post and stocked up on lots of medals that I think I deserve.<br \/>\nd. I did OK until after Initial Reception Station &#8211; I didn&#8217;t get any awards for my 43 days of active duty, but I have no problem pretending I was a Ranger and committed many atrocities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One of our remote operatives (Codename: Claymore) dug up some more questions;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>When you met with your recruiter, did they promise ________?<\/strong><br \/>\na.  you would be drinking beer from a hooker&#8217;s bellybutton 4 nights a week, after Madden 2009 tournaments of course.<br \/>\nb.  uniforms were being redesigned by Marc Ekko to better reflect a hip, youthful style.<br \/>\nc.  combat would be limited between 1100hrs  to 1400hrs so you could study for your bartender&#8217;s degree.<br \/>\nd.  DI&#8217;s would let you sleep in if you really needed it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What best describes your reasons for enlisting in the service?<\/strong><br \/>\na.  I joined hoping to pay for college&#8230;oh, and to have casual sex with mannish looking women that have low self-esteem.<br \/>\nb.  I joined after playing a marathon session of Call Of Duty and Red Bull.<br \/>\nc.  I got my girlfriend knocked up and this was the easiest way to escape getting the sh!t beat out of me by her dad.<br \/>\nd.  I consider it an honor to serve my country&#8230;nah, just kidding, I heard you could score some good pot over in Europe if you were in the military.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe your military experience.<\/strong><br \/>\n a.  I barely passed the ASVAB, barely passed basic, barely passed a-school and then when they tried to ship me into Iraq, I decided I was too smart to die in a war for oil.<br \/>\nb.  I have always been a pacifist, despite enlisting as a sniper\/grenadier\/ninja assassin, so I was deeply disturbed when I was told I would be assigned as a rifleman in a combat unit.<br \/>\nc.  I joined to learn about computers but no one told me that the military used computers on the battlefield.  I just wanted a free trip to Germany.  My country is full of fascists.<br \/>\nd.  I was a fourth generation military officer with dreams of becoming a US Senator.  Since I&#8217;m from a near-socialist north-eastern state, I figured my best chance at getting elected was to dishonor myself and pin the blame on the government.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe the various war crimes you were ordered to perform while in the service.<\/strong><br \/>\na.  I tortured civilians in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Khan.<br \/>\nb.  I forced little kids to eat un-heated MREs.<br \/>\nc.  I once tripped over an Iraqi&#8217;s dog while looking for a hiding place while my buddies were taking fire.  The dog didn&#8217;t make it.<br \/>\nd.  I heard that our sergeant shot up some guy&#8217;s car with the ma-deuce until he hit the fuel tank and it exploded like Rosie O&#8217;Donnell after a 3 hr bended at Taco Bell.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are hundreds of these questionnaires floating around, so if you find some, please report it in the comments section so we can compile a complete list. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like most organizations, the IVAW has a questionnaire so that new members can be placed in &hellip; <a title=\"The IVAW placement test\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=7814\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The IVAW placement test<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,37,47,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-ivaw","category-liberals-suck","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7814\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
