........But our story picks up with what happened on Thursday. That was the day when the church was supposed to honor the National Guard. They had invited troops from the nearby armory to drop by with one of their Humvees.

“We were going to thank them for protecting our religious liberty,” said Pastor Hogan. “It was more of a promotion for the military – to show the kids what the military does.”

But the National Guard did not visit Bible Baptist Church on Thursday night, and the reason why has caused great anger and frustration among church members ...........

“In June, the Department of Defense gave permission for a military color guard to march in Washington, D.C.’s gay pride parade.”

Gave permission, or ordered/arm twisted them into doing so?

I agree with you. Sad that two old vets like us now advise against serving today.

I seem to have hit a nerve. Oh well, I don’t waste my time being politically correct.

McNamara admitted in his later days that they kept the war going and more men dying long after they knew they couldn’t, or wouldn’t win. He should burn in hell.

I have to agree with Vet as well, how can one honestly serve a completely corrupt and morally bankrupt country? I’m sure we all love our countries, but it doesn’t mean we should be enablers.

Your post is one of the most moronic posts I have ever seen on FR.

Have some class.

You are absolutely correct. Don’t let the defeatists get you down.

“”Run to Liberaltsrin friends and hold hands as all die on the graves of men who would defend this country...””

It won’t be the military defending this country from what is coming down the pike today.

The faggots sure are ruining the country

The only consolation is that this is a reversible condition

Revenge is just over the horizon

Wow! You created an account just to agree with yourself? That has to be one of the saddest things I've ever seen on here.

It is not that we couldn’t win, it is that Johnson, McNamara, and the rest of the leadership wouln’t let us win.

Go read the comments on the FoxNews site; those who agree with the policy seem mostly to be atheists.

Why do atheists find it necessary to be obnoxious when making their point, using words like “your imaginary friend” or “skydaddy”, to describe the Almighty?

OK, now let’s hear from all the happy well-adjusted piles of hot compost randomly assembled into temporarily sensate entities within a meaningless universe of dumb molecular movement.

If there’s no God, isn’t that what we all are?

Heh, heh! God didn’t make me smart enough to be an atheist. But His goodness is everywhere for those with eyes to see, that much I do know.

FWIW, the deeper into interstellar space our space probes go, the even lesser evidence is to be found of the unique conditions necessary to create & sustain life. But then, why was Dr. Carl Sagan such a determined, doctrinaire atheist?

I am unable to understand the mentality of those who believe that extinction upon death is to be....celebrated?

imagined extinction upon death eliminates the possibility of eternal SUFFERING...and thats what the A-theists most want to deny...

That’s why I posted “or wouldn’t” win. There’s no doubt in my mind we could have won in about two weeks if they had turned us loose.

It was won in the summer of 68 after the Tet Offensive, then we backed off, and let them rebuild.
