Operation Yellow Elephant

The tagline of the Operation Yellow Elephant blog is, “It’s there war. Why aren’t they fighting it?” The writer of this blog is trying to convince readers that since republicans support the war, they should be the ones fighting. I found this blog very interesting, because the author makes many good points, and he is very persuasive. There is one blog post that I found particularly persuasive, which was about UConn College Republican President. There are many quotes from this young man about the War in Iraq, and the author of this blog thinks that he should enlist. Operation Yellow Elephant is more than just a blog. The author of this blog encourages supporters to write to these young outspoken republicans and essentially tell them to put their money where their mouth is and enlist. He also gives frequent updates about the people that they try to get to enlist, and apparently, not too many actually respond to these requests. The tone is very sarcastic at times, which seems to be effective because every one of his posts have many comments either supporting what he says or angered by it.
