ONE of these men is worth 100,000 Liberals. Or more.
Best post of the year!!!
What am I tired of? My husband posted this letter and I just felt I needed to add a few comments that he did not.
My husband is a veteran of over 16 years in the military. He has been to more overseas combat than the average person will ever dream. I myself am also a vet though I did not see any combat time while I was in.
I get so tired of hearing how the soldiers only sign on the dotted line because they are poor, stupid or that they were "tricked" into it. These men and women give it their all and their blood, sweat and tears make this country what it is. GREAT.
These men and women are patriots and if you haven't been there what the hell do you know about giving to your country. You can't support the troops yet not support the cause.

Worth reading the whole thing!
Excellent.
right on! A trucker called an overnight talk show last night saying that he just gotten out of the army after 9 years and that he was in Iraq for the invasion. He said that in the beginning they were allowed to shoot back at anyone who shot at them. After about 3 or 4 months, the JAG corps came in and changed that rule to only being able to shoot back if they were shot at very closely. If the enemy shot near them, but not directly at them, our soldiers could no longer shoot back. The enemy started using film of action against us, etc.
I am sad to think that we have sent our finest overseas to fight a PC war dictated to by JAG officers. They are not warriors.
Hear! Hear! from a 13 month Iraqi vet
I am tired of the Democrats whining for months on T.V., in the New York Times, and in the House and Senate that we need more troops to win the war in Iraq, and then when my Commander in Chief plans to do just that, they say that is the wrong plan, it won’t work, and we need a “new direction.”
I am tired of hearing multiple stories from both combat theaters about snipers begging to do their jobs while commanders worry about how the media might portray the possible casualties and what might happen to their career.
I am tired of hearing that the Battalion Tactical Operations Center got a new plasma screen monitor for daily briefings, but rifle scope rings for sniper rifles, extra magazines, and necessary field gear were disapproved by the unit supply system.
I am tired of Rules of Engagement being made by JAG lawyers and not Combat Commanders. We are not playing Hopscotch over here. There is no 2nd place trophy either. I think that if the enemy knew some rough treatment and some deprivation was at hand for them, instead of prayer rugs, special diets and free Korans; this might help get their terrorist minds “right.”
I am tired of begging to be turned loose so that this war can be over.
We are not in Iraq and Afghanistan to build nations. We are there to kill our enemies. We make the work of the State Department easier by the results we achieve.
It is only possible to defeat an enemy who kills indiscriminately by utterly destroying him. He cannot be made to yield or surrender. He will fight to the death by the hundreds to kill only one or two of us.
And so far, all of our “games” have been “away games,” and I don’t know about the ignorant, treasonous Democrats and the completely insane radical leftists and their thoughts on the matter, but I would like to keep our road game schedule.
So let’s get it done. Until the fight is won and there is no more fight left.

A $2,500 bonus and promotion to that soldier.
Bump!!!!
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?
HELL OF A MANIFESTO.
Bejasus! I only wish every American had a pair of balls that big.
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.
