Title: Report: Anti-War Judge Rejects Foster Teen's Bid to Join Marines
Post by: TheSarge on March 07, 2008, 04:32:54 PM
A California judge rejected a foster teen's request for early enlistment with the Marine Corps — and a $10,000 signing bonus — reportedly on the grounds that the judge didn't approve of the Iraq war.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Marilyn Mackel denied 17-year-old Shawn Sage's request to join the military last October, according to a report in the Los Angeles Daily News.

"The judge said she didn't support the Iraq war for any reason we're over there," Marine recruiter Sgt. Guillermo Medrano of the Simi Valley U.S. Marine Corps recruiting office told the paper.

"She just said all recruiters were the same — that they 'all tap dance and tell me what I want to hear.' She said she didn't want him to fight in it."

Sage, a Simi Valley, Calif., resident, begged the anti-war judge for permission to join, according to the Daily News.

Where's all the pro-choicers on this one?

This judge is infringing on this teenagers right to choose to join the USMC. If the kid wanted his girlfriend to have an abortion, she probably would have offered to drive them both there.

But the kid wants to take up arms in defense of the country? Oh hell no.

What bullshat.

Nice grasp of the liberal mindset on your part, TKO - war is bad, abortion is good. There's only one choice, and it's pro-abortion.

Poor kid, though - I guess there's no reason to "judge-shop", or appeal this moonbat's decision, since he's hitting the big 1-8 this June, and there's bills introduced now so this won't happen again. Judge sounds totally incomptetent, Ninth Circus material there.
