“Look..there are a bunch of “idiots” that go around throwing out the words “enemy combatents”
I guess that would be me...right? I thought we were in a war with terrorists..I don’t agree with the Obama talking points...I didn’t realize that made me an idiot...and you needn’t apologize...
“what, now you expect them to recieve Combat Pay, Hazardious Duty Pay also???”
Where did I say that? I stand by my opinion. You have yours. I won’t resort to name calling...but you have know idea who you are talking to or how they have served or what they know...when you shoot your mouth off at people calling them idiots, try to remember a difference of opinion is just that...

I have yet to see Bogus POTUS acknowledge this event at all! This concerns me as a resident of Arkansas and a citizen of the United States of America!
If you don’t know about this story, it’s tragic! Two recent Boot Camp graduates were serving hometown recruitment duty. Neither man had seen combat duty. They were gunned down Monday morning June the 1st, during broad daylight. This was just outside of the Army Recruitment Center in a well traveled strip mall in Little Rock, Arkansas. I will not dishonor these men by announcing the terrorist’s name.
My hope is that this terrorist is sent to Gitmo (Guantanamo Bay, Cuba) where he now belongs and is water boarded to reveal his hidden agenda.
****Note I previously posted last night, on my local Tea Party Blog here: http://bentonteaparty.ning.com/profiles/blogs/all-american-soldier-murdered before our next Tea Party Meeting tonight. But I must say, there is not enough said in the MSM about this tragedy.
