Thanks, RedRover, for keeping us all up to date on this travesty and the outcome.
I have, thanks to your efforts and pings, been able to follow this entire saga. I know it is possible for a Marine to do wrong (Murtha comes to mind), but it is my belief that they are by and large representatives of all that is good and brave and right and true about America.
Victor Davis Hanson has referred to them as our moral elite. I share that feeling. I am taking incredible satisfaction in the vindication of these fine men.
Sean said, in the interview, that their country failed them, and I understand what he was saying, but, in fact, only part of the country did. Others, like you, stood by them through this. God bless them and God bless you. And thank you again.
You’re very welcome, Bahbah. I supported the war in Iraq from the comfortable of my couch while young men like Justin Sharratt and Frank Wuterich and Andrew Grayson did the fighting.
When Murtha stabbed them in the back, it was time to get off the couch and fight for them on the homefront.
Free Republic has been a rallying point for many people who are passionate about this. There’s going to be one heck of a celebration thread once every man is free.
