This guy disagreed with the situation, but he shut down his blog while this issue gets resolved. Seems like he is handling the situation properly. Why are FReepers jumping on him?
So he has a right to his statement but I don't have a right to mine?
You sound like the Dixie Chicks. Nobody is trying to censor you. You're entitled to your opinion, but I can't really see where you're coming from. It's not like this doctor is defying orders. He seems to be approaching this matter properly.
The reason this blog came to someone's attention was because it was featured on C-SPAN. I believe it was during the Washington Journal on the 24th. Brian Lamb usually hosts the WJ on Friday's and he was the host when he talked to Maj Cohen's mother by phone. That's how I learned of the website. I didn't see any problem with what he wrote in his blog, but someone may have objected to his site because he did have pics of many of the other docs with their names. Don't know.
That's right.
You have no right to make any statement.
/s/
And YOU are entitled to your opinion.
Don't 'sir' me, I work for a living!
Now drop and give me 50!
Just the thought!!! AAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKK
"what an idiot doctor"
I wonder how many lives the "idiot" has saved? I say cut him some slack. He did shut down the blog as ordered so he can't be that much of an idiot.
Looks as though your WayBack Machine is no match for the guvmint.
It doesn't but what does he know? He's just over there patching up soldiers that are wounded.
I have a friend and co-worker that was called up awhile back. He was getting ready to come off the reserve list after leaving the Army several years ago but he was called up. He established a blog to give a week to week description of his actions while in Iraq. Has been over there for several months and he was in Mosul when this attack happened. I've known this guy for several years and when he left he was excited about going. Very supportive of the decisions made. Reading his notes over the past few months, it's clear to his friends and family that he is questioning it now. Guess some 'conservatives' would think he's a 'Kerry wannabe' and a 'putz' too huh?
Of course, but according to neoconservative groupthink, it's all up to him. He has a clear choice: risk his life, keep his anti-American thoughts to himself and be hailed as a hero, or risk his life, question why and be vilified as a traitorous thug.
Just look at what happened to Col. David Hackworth. He used to be one of FR's most praised heroes. Now, he's one of the site's most hated traitors.
Soldiers can't be human and have their own views, don't you know. He should have just kept his mouth shut about disagreeing with the decision. He needs to know what a real soldier does......shuts up and obeys.
