Here is a BLOG from a TN National Guard soldier in Iraq about Cindy Sheehan's activities.
That woman in Texas outside the Bush Ranch for instance. She aggravates me, even though I can't even remember her name. The President is trying to relax a little bit from what must be one of the highest pressured jobs in the world, and she has to go and bring a circus of media to squat on his freaking front yard. Give the man a break Lady! The President didn't kill your son, your son did something called VOLUNTEERING! He signed his own adult name to the recruiter's paperwork, and he did not have to ask your permission. If he thought he was doing it to make some college money or to go on a paid vacation around the world, then he was a fool. I tend to doubt that was the case, since most people that join the military understand what the military is for.
The military exists for one purpose, to kill people and blow things up. That's all. The college money and travel are perks. Every job in the military exists for that one purpose. The reason FOR the military is that there is an evil power in the world. That evil power shows its ugly butt in many forms, sometimes in the form of a child molester, or a serial killer, or a drug pusher. The form the President(and therefore, the military) is most concerned about is international terrorism. Terrorism is not something that STARTED on 11 September 2001, it ENDED there. President Bush drew a line in the sand finally, after eight years of having a sniveling, skirt-chasing liar as our commander-in-chief, and declared that we would not stand for it any more. We would no longer wait for the terrorists to attack us in our neighborhoods or our places of business, we would take the fight to them and exterminate them one by one like the vermin they are. That is why we went into Afghanistan, and that is why I'm writing this from a desk in Iraq instead of in the comfort of home. Because we finally have a President who has the cohonas to confront the bully and doesn't care what the world thinks. He is not a perfect man by any means. He has made mistakes, and he will continue to make them the rest of his life, just like you and me and every other human being on God's earth.
Judge not, lest ye be judged however. What you don't understand Lady, is that the world is not a happy little fairy land where the bunnies play and the deer frolic all the time. The world is fallen, and we have to clean it up from time to time. Your son signed his name as a man, and he died as a man, and all you're doing is staining his legacy with your whining. It is a sad thing that good men and women must die to defend the things they love. It is a NECESSARY thing however, something which must be done. Otherwise we're all reduced to cringing cowards, afraid of the boogeyman and his sharp teeth. Your son would want you to mourn, of course. But instead of pointing the finger at the one man in the world who had the opportunity to do something bold to prevent terrorism, you should choose instead to support him so we can hurry up and get through the mess.
The President didn't make the mess, he simply decided it was time to clean it up. This involves getting messy, as any of you who've ever cleaned up a mess know. You don't even have to do anything to create a mess, if you spend all your time being a little boy and having fun, the mess will come to you. That's what the previous president did, and now the current one is stuck with the mess. He didn't back down though, he plunged in and got his hands dirty, and your son chose to help him. May he and all the others that have died rest in peace, and may their families choose to honor their deaths and continue to pray for those still in the fight.
Ok, I'm done ranting now. I'm just tired of hearing people on the news criticize and point fingers and tell the President what he ought to do and how he screwed up. He isn't perfect, but then, neither are you. I hope some pansy who doesn't understand the necessity of war reads this and realizes how he/she has had their head in the sand. There is great beauty in this world of ours, and there is also great sorrow, sorrow for the evil that has tainted it. We should rejoice in the beauty, but every so often we have to get nasty with the evil in order to prevent a greater evil.
You all have a good day, and thank God for the privilege He's given you of being able to live another day. Kiss your wife or your husband and your kids and be grateful for people like that poor silly woman's son, that are over here cleaning up the mess so you don't have to. Thanks for reading, and God Bless America.
Razorsedge out...
You can respond to him on his BLOG site.
As to Cindy, as the following quote and pictures clearly point out, she is not only willing far-left, anti-American activist who is using her son's last full measure of devotion to this country as a prop to spread everything he fought against...she is also an out and out sham.
 "If I truly was a media whore do you think I would like maybe get myself fixed up a little bit before I went on?" Quote and pic of Cindy Sheehan - August 24, 2005 |
FYI...an opinion of one of our soldiers deployed to Iraq...and a great read.
Thanks for the post.
Build their gallows high
Got to run and help some friends move this AM. Will be back in a couple of hours to monitor this thread and happenings today in Crawford.
Uhhm, I don't think it's in the sand...
A blog that will NEVER REACH most of America, and a blog that EVERY AMERICAN has a right to hear about.
Muhtha She'ham' has hurt and angered many, many GOOD GOOD AMERICANS!
Could someone pls repost the photo of the fake coffin with the sign on it where Casey is "speaking?"
That was indeed a great read. Someday I would like to shake the hand of that proud young volunteer from the Volunteer State!
Thanks for posting this GREAT letter. I went to his blog and thanked him, too.
Great read. And the photograph is DEVASTATING.
Don't need to know where all the heroes have gone. They signed up and are beating back the forces of evil making this country safe for us and our children.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for posting that. You might want to help get the word out from one of our Freepers in Iraq, 91b.
Here is a dose of reality from a long time Freeper, 91b, who is on his second tour in Iraq.

An Open Letter to FR from Iraq
91b ^ | August 18, 2005 | 91b

I am writing this in response to all the attention that Cindy Sheehan and her protests are getting. I am a deployed soldier with 2nd Squadron, 278th RCT at FOB Bernstein near Tuz Khurmatu, Iraq.
This is my second deployment. The first was from April 2003 to April 2004 and it was spent mostly in Qatar, but I also spent some time at Camp Cedar II just outside An Nasiriyah, Iraq. I volunteered to return with the 278th and I do not regret my decision at all.
Obviously, I believe in and support the war for a variety of reasons. I think that the invasion and liberation of Iraq demonstrated to those regimes that might be inclined to support terrorism that we were serious about our commitment to taking the fight to our enemies. I also believe that a democratic Iraq will serve as a positive influence over the rest of the region. At the same time, having a force in Iraq allows to us put direct pressure on Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia-all supporters of terrorism in one way or another-and draws prospective jihadis into this country where they can be dealt with militarily.
That is why I am so angry about Ms. Sheehan's media circus. I do not question her grief and anger over the death of her son and I do not begrudge her the right to protest. However, I do not see where her actions serve any useful purpose other than to embolden our enemies and weaken the resolve that is necessary to carry forward the fight to a victorious conclusion.
I admit that there are some soldiers here who have mixed feelings about the war and whether or not we are successful. They wonder how we will be able to define victory and what American soldiers are being sacrificed for. I try to answer that we should not expect the defeat of tyranny and fanaticism to be easy. That victory may not come for years and that we may not know it for years after that. I try to point out that we did not defeat Communist totalitarianism except after a long struggle, and that we were not able to carry the fight directly to its' most important strongholds even then. I also reply that those nations that we have helped to become democratic-South Korea, Japan, Germany-did not become so overnight.
I know that modern Americans are perhaps impatient and that they are perhaps not willing to bear sacrifice for long without some clear indication of success. However, I do not hear any alternative strategy put forth other than capitulation and that is not acceptable. Freepers, and other conservatives, will have to carry forward an important part of the fight. You will have to stand resolute in the face of the attempted emotional manipulation by the media of the Cindy Sheehan's of the world.
This will be difficult as the opposition will claim the high ground, but you must constantly remind the public of the price of defeat. A world in which our enemies can prey on our weakness will never be safe from bombings, hijackings or decapitation. The publicity battle is an important front in this struggle and Freepers have an important role to play.
Cindy shows all the signs of mad cow disease . There's nothing that can be done to improve her . She's the perfect mad cow .. .. ..
i for one am getting sick and tired of all who say "i do not doubt her grief and anger" i do doubt it only because she despised her son for being a man and escaping the lunicy of her F**King commie socialist agenda. it is obvious that she never ever loved her son.
G. Dave, you are a regular and esteemed poster on F.R. and i will always read and value your opinions, BUT SINdy is a commie media WHO*E who resents her son for being a man and not still suckling at her teets!
i wish her evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for re-posting that open letter to FR. It was a great read then and a great read now.
I posted a "thumbs-up" to RazorBlog as well, but I signed it as "LWB."
It amazes me that we support the troops here on FR, and they in turn are also encouraging us -- as well as serving and protecting us. I don't know where we found these wonderful servicepeople or if we even deserve them. I hope we do.
Back during the Vietnam protests, there was a line I recall hearing from people like cindysheehan that "if someone comes to our shores and starts killing us, that's a different story." Well DUH! that's happened, and they haven't changed their song. They were liars then and they're lying now.
God bless our Troops & Vets, especially those currently in harm's way, and their families. God bless President Bush and God Bless America.
WOW!!! Thank you! Thank you!!! PING! Bump!
I love it!
Jarhead
Good stuff.
Amen! Spread it around. Point your friends and relatives to his BLOG or to tis thread on FR. Ask them to do the same to their friends and relatives. Sort of like that WTC Flag Raising petition where we reached over 1/2 million people.
It was GREAT wasn't it. I'd like to buy this guy and all his friends a steak dinner...as many as they like.
Outstanding! Point others to his BLOG or to FR and this thread. Every American neds to read what this warrior has to say about this issue.
The pic of Sheehan is all of her own making. Her words, her picture. I just put them together to show the truth that the MSM will not show.
Amen...they are there, sacrificing their all to defned us. We owe them a debt of gratitude that can only be repaid through our own support of them, and engaging in the same fight against their detractors and enemies on our own shores.
You are welcome AG!
In my comment to him thanking him for his article and for his service, I referred to FreeRepublic as the site where I read it. From the comments, it looks like others from FR went to his blog to thank him, too.
We can only repay such debts by fully supporting them and in our turn, fighting the detractors and enemies of that mission here on our shores so that the support does not fail.
Obviously not a Freeper or the name Cindy Sheehan would roll right off his tongue.
I especially agree with his view on the President having a tremendously high pressured job 24/7. Our President earned his right to a peaceful vacation. Lowlifes without a thread of common decency. Protest all you want but don't ruin a man's vacation.
We can stand up four square against what she is saying and what she represents without hate. it's called steely resolve and metal. I wish her well...meaning that she realizes her horrible, despicable mistake and repents of it and turns around.
I do not expect it...but I can hope and pray for it. At the same time I can stand square up to her message and her ilk and to her and say straight what a sham what she is doing is...how despicable and disgusting it is...and how I will stand and fight it to my dieing breath.
Just my opinion on the matter.
Nam Vet
Roll off his tongue?
I think I'd say "He could have spit it right out." (At least that's what I think of whenever her name comes up.)
When you fellers get the chance...you will really enjoy this read.
I sure wish this could be seen & read far and wide!
