I’ve been saving this one up
Published by Mike Stark July 7th, 2006 in Brian and the JudgeBrian Kilmeade has three great kids and a beautiful wife. He’s 42 years old, at the peak of his career success (he’s even interviewed George Bush), just got a new radio show (Brian and the Judge), and is an unflagging supporter of sending other people off to die in a war he refuses to fight.
When I suggested a coupla weeks ago that he join the Army now that they’ve raised the enlistment age to 42, he accused me of taunting him. Hmmm… I wonder if that’s what he thinks of all the recruiters that suggest people join the Army. Taunts?
Well, having served four years myself - in the Marine Corps - I was a little pissed that Brian would so cavalierly dismiss my suggestion. I know what it is to sleep in dirt, eat MRE’s and work ungodly hours in filth. I don’t think Brian has ever done anything approaching that level of sacrifice. If he has, I’d welcome his rebuttal.
So anyway, today’s question for Brian was along the lines of - “What do you think the marines that captured Zarqowi think of a guy that wears two thousand dollar suits, pays hundreds of dollars for haircuts and wears make-up telling them that this war in Iraq is their generation’s greatest moral calling without being willing to put his own ass in the game?”
No good answer.

keep it up Mike . thanx .
You have to love it! Rather than answer your question, he questions the veracity of your service.
Pretty easy to do from his safe secure studio.
Wow. What a complete douche bag. lol, it sounded like his mic was twice as loud as yours.
Man, I really need to get on one of these shows soon…
From now on, every time I tell a radio host I’m 13 years active duty in the military and they say “Thank you for your service” (which they all say, even though I could be lying), I’m going to say “Encourage all your listeners from ages 18 to 42 to join the military, I’ll believe you”
I used to say “Then stomp complaining about paying taxes that gives me my pay” but that is a bit selfish. This is so much better. They have 180 minutes available 5 days a week, yet they donate NONE to recruiting for our armed services. How unpatriotic.
oh man, wat a pussy
It seemed like you were on the verge of calling him a coward. Do it. He is. Time to start calling them what they are. Seems like the MSM is so afraid to use the L word (liar/lie). They need to be called on the carpet. Good job Mike.
Sorry, he’s still off the hook (barely), for the moment.
One must be UNDER 42 to enlist for the first time. Once you reach your 42nd birthday, you’re ineligible.
Keep tracking this guy, however. At the rate they are raising the maximum age for initial enlistment, even I’ll be eligible soon.

Hey OpYellow: Great to have you over here!
You’ve probably tracked this stuff better than I, but this article seems to say that 42 year olds can enlist as well… and I know that when I was in the Marines, they had an age limit of 28 years old (as long as you had no prior service - prior service extended the enlistment age by the amount of service time you had). And I remember we had two 28 year olds in my boot camp platoon…
Goddam! Kilmeade is such a pussy. (No offense meant to pussies) I willfully enlisted in the USAF in peacetime and ended up going to the Middle East. In fact, I’m going back this fall.
Keep up the good work Mike!
I am also a veteran, USAF 1967-70, SEA 1969-70, and I firmly believe CHICKENHAWKS are not to be ignored. If anything, they should be outed and confronted every time they open their pusillanimous, bloviating mouths! Good job! Semper fi!
Uh, Brian? Bri? Doya really think having your own radio show means what it useta? Radio is a pimple on the entertainment scale. Sorry, Bri, but you’re literally wasting your breath.
John Hoffman said it all! Keep on preaching the Gospel John!
SSDD* : ChickenHawk RepubliCowards too busy to serve.
These big mouthed morons are, after all, just emulating their God-given miss-Leader, And vp miss-Leader, AND Congressional RubberStamps by finding other things to do than go to W-ars they “support” . Talking big and Acting small (minded) is now the 21st century GOP’s Official bottom line.
What a bloviating wimp that radio host was and is with his excuses for not serving in the military. I guess what happened during the Last Decades of his eligibility for service, was what…the recruiters DIDN’T ASK HIM NICELY E “F”ing NOUGH ? Poor Baby…but, in the end, just aNother Typical ReThuglican EasyChairWarrior.
(*same sh!t, different day)…
He should sic the “Department of Censorship” on your ass.
What a clown he is.
Oh please don’t give up on Brian Kilmeade, that twerpy little chickenhawk bitch.
I know it seems a bit overdramatic but if you could email that punk just a twinge of proof of your service that’d be badass.
I’m a vet too, and nothing is more infuriating than the neocon chumps questioning service from the safety and security of their studios.
Jeremy-
Don’t mail him anything with lots of personal information on it. He may have a sideline to his highly successful radio career where he steals other people’s identities! Whew, that was close!
It’s confirmed. Maximum age is 42 and under. You must be sworn in before the 43rd birthday.
My credentials: 10 years in the Army, including a tour in Viet Nam
If the Marine’s fought like you did on that stunt of yours we would all be in very deep shit. That winger FOX coward kicked your ass all over the internet and did it with some of the oldest winger tricks in the book. . If you are going to call these assholes up you might familiarize yourself with their modus operandi my man.
Kissenger????..why don’t you just put the FOX mike right up your ass my man? Mentioning that guy puts an 8 lane escape route right at the FOX boi’s feet. Dumb ass move.
Let me make a few little suggestions. In the bit about Zarqawi…
“so you are not happy he is dead” (or however it went)
that is supposed to PUT YOU ON THE DEFENSIVE. Its a VERY OLD TRICK!!!!!. You had a bit of momentum and he shot it down with a worn out ploy that any contender should have wasted. “Like I said I was a Marine, of course I am glad MY ENEMY is dead. Since you have not opted to fight our ENEMIES I might ask are you glad he is dead”…see how it works. FOX Boi will huff and puff but that tired “you are with the terrorists’ shtick goes away. You might have made the point that Zarqawi was killed by folks that chose to fight at age 18 and not talk at age 42 ( the new ceiling for enlistment) or when confronted with “I don’t think you were in the Marines” suggest that as probably true as “IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE”!!!
How about this give away: FOX Boi says “so I cannot talk about the war”, a 101 level diversion from what seemed a clumsy effort by you to point out that “Cheering on a war” that you will not fight is un-American. You allowed FOX Boi to move that baby right out of his way and right up your ass. “That’s the problem with you, all you want to do is talk..” would have sounded kind of cool.
Do you know what a “press plan” is? You might start planning these crank calls. You need to put the conversation where you want it and that takes talent. Get the guy on the hot seat then turn up the heat. If you just let these assholes use tired communications tricks to degrade your efforts why bother?
Damn this piss poor performance really hurts. As a marine you know what “fucking up by the numbers is” and damn you if you didn’t do it by the A. B. C’s as well. You best ‘unfuck yourself’ my man.
Most excellent.
If I had free time when this asshole was on the air I’d call.
Hey Richard,
Great post. Do you have any more tricks to share? Maybe you can share some more tips with us.
