[Been There. Have you?]

So, it seems to me by your correspondent's comments that those against the war are those who, 'are a bunch of squatters. Those people right now are contributing nothing to the greatness or future of this country.' The same people who are, 'cockamamie, asinine, stupid,' because they have the gall to disagree with your viewpoint.

Seemingly by your written maxim, everyone who served in Iraq or Afghanistan (both in my case) is of the same mind. Unfortunately Sir, I am not of the same mind. Therefore it seems, by your own logic I am unpatriotric (well, I'm a British Officer and therefore couldn't care less about whateverer flag waving crap you choose to feed to your troops) aiding the enemy (who are they by the way? I've not yet managed to figure it out in 2 combat tours) and someone who is, 'patently absurd and bordering on insane.'? Is that because I fail to see Iraq as in any way improved, or even improving? Is it because as a former military intelligence officer I was unable to uncover any evidence of WMDs, nor indeed any evidence that Iraq posed a significant threat to global security?

Having read your essay, I must say that I was particularly revulsed by your description of Ms Sheehan as 'someone hiding in a ditch,' particularly as I hid in many ditches during my Middle East service, often comforting those whose only hope was to scream for their mothers in pain and desparation. As such I have every sympathy for a mother who has lost her children (irrespective of whether they were volunteers or not, for I too was lied to) and none for those who have the enviable position of being employed in comfort in America, writing glib propoganda pieces for an illegal war.

I expect many vissitudes levelled against me, most accusing me of 'aiding the enemy.' I put it to you all that the enemy takes comfort not from the words of a disillusioned former combatant; but more from the fact that a belligerant and misgiuded fool sits in the world's seat of power.

As such, I leave with the parting shot that, while you talked, I fought. Why do honest men die for nought, when cowards live for great reward?

Perhaps you think we should thank you for your service. Sounds like you're more interested in serving the enemies of America. And probably lying about your 'service' anyway.

Whassamatter, John? Terezzzzzzza pulling your leash? Go do some Heinz Catsup shots with your Uncle Ted.

Head over to the DUmmy's, they would love you and praise you.

Did you hear the one about the business traveler who woke up in his hotel bathtub, and it was full of ice, and there was a note taped to the wall that said "Call 911"? Did ya? Well, did ya?

[Jet Jaguar]

Yes I have been there. And freedom from tyranny is not for all for not!

[nopardons]

They put this thread back up?

I reported the troll and then went to post an answer and when I hit "post", the thread was gone.

[Slings and Arrows]

I disagree with what you say, but will defend to your death my right to ignore it.

[Jet Jaguar]

Yep. My original reply was better. But it got hit by the lightning. Oh well.

[nopardons]

Tell that to Tony Blair, you bloody, mindless, twisted git; though I very much doubt that you are English, let alone an officer.

I'd tell you to BUGGER OFF, but you were zotted before I had the chance to.

[King Prout]

this troll is yours to excoriate, I believe.

Here is the scientific explanation: Since FreeRepublic serves people of many faiths, the Mods have to process troll threads so that they're Kosher. This requires a brief delay to allow the Lead Rabbi to say a blessing over the kibble, before they can reactivate the thread.

[nopardons]

My original reply was better as well, but the thread was pulled and so it never got posted. Oh well........

The poster, no matter his protestations, is NOT English, is NOT an officer, and was NEVER in Afghanistan nor Iraq. The cretinous morons who post trollish garbage here, imagine that we'll fall for anything. How wrong they are! LOL

[King Prout]

is not for all for not

eh?

[nopardons]

Ahhhhhhhhhh, I see, the thread had to be made kosher, so the Jewish Viking Kitties and members of RKBA could feed. :-)

[King Prout]

perhaps the Almighty Mods need to perform a full-body Bris on the troll, sans anaesthetics, of course... that takes a little time and a modicum of privacy
