What the hell is the point of this question?
The point is his vantage point from behind the gates at the base is roughly equivalent to a Filipino Cafeteria Worker at said base. He wasn't going house to house in Ramadi, he wasn't wearing desert camo amongst the Iraqi civilian population and he doesn't have a monopoly on what's actually going on in Iraq. Furthermore, the perception of what's going on held by a majority of americans is that its going down the tubes-- to say it isn't trending that way is to engage in rank denial.
there is no point...
this person is just trying to get people upset.
I really wish they would zot it.
