I am tired of Democrats saying they are patriotic and then insulting my commander in chief...
I am tired of Democrats who tell me they support me, the soldier on the ground, and then tell me the best plan to win this war is with a “phased redeployment” (liberal-speak for retreat) out of the combat zone to someplace like Okinawa.
I am tired of senior officers and commanders who fight this war with more of an eye on the media than on the enemy, who desperately needs killing.
I am tired of the decisions of Sergeants and Privates made in the heat of battle being scrutinized by lawyers who were not there and will never really know the state of mind of the young soldiers who were there and what is asked of them in order to survive.
I am tired of CNN claiming that they are showing “news,” with videotape sent to them by terrorists, of my comrades being shot at by snipers, but refusing to show what happens when we build a school, pave a road, hand out food and water to children, or open a water treatment plant.
I am tired of Code Pink, Daily Kos, Al-Jazzera, CNN, Reuters, the Associated Press, ABC, NBC, CBS, the ACLU, and CAIR thinking that they somehow get to have a vote in how we blast, shoot and kill these animals who would seek to subdue us and destroy us.
I am tired of people like Meredith Vieria from NBC asking oxygen thieves like Senator Chuck Hagel questions like “Senator, at this point, do you think we are fighting and dying for nothing?” Meredith might not get it, but soldiers do know the difference between fighting and dying for something and fighting and dying for nothing.

let’s get it done. Until the fight is won and there is no more fight left.
damn liberals !
Word is we will not have long to wait - nuff said.
If Lyn were here, we would tell her:
It is FOR THE MOST PART damned liberals that think that. WE understand the men and women in the military, and we also understand their families, because many of us have been military ourselves.
Bill and Hillary Clinton constantly admonished George H.W. Bush for "not finishing the job" by taking Saddam out in '91. Will they whine that Dubya didn't finish the job if we pull out now?
I hope for many victorious days ahead for our Military,
to listen to the elected politician's who think they can do the job of the President has been alot of nonsense,
hopefully the Military is not irritated by it,
they've had enough tough days.
When I was deployed to Kuwait (we were a navy small boat security force) we had about $1 million (base pay) in useless payroll between officers and do-nothing senior enlisteds.
All of the things the guy said about the military, officers, and commander's is spot on as far as I experienced it. We really haven't learned our lessons from Vietnam, IMO.
HELL OF A MANIFESTO.
Bejasus! I only wish every American had a pair of balls that big.
HELL OF A MANIFESTO.
maybe...but read it again..if this is really true and happening, (and we've been down this road before) it's time to get out.
Thanks
Disagree. It's time to jam into overdrive here.
Our troops deserve no less.
what our troops deserve and what they are getting are 2 different things.
If they are not going to be allowed to fight..bring 'em home.
Thanks for posting.
May the one, true, living God continue to bless all of our men and women in uniform, those not in uniform who serve along side, and all those who have ever served.
May He protect, sustain, and guide you and your loved ones throughout your time of sacrifice, and bring you home safely once the victory is won.
I have never served, but I understand that it is only because of our veterans that I never had to. Please know how much respect I have for all of you who do serve.
Thank you all for your service to our country, and for your protection of my family. Go get 'em.
