Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

Written after his Bears got a whuppin'!
Sour grapes!
Okay, who's got the copy of Mrs. Miniver?
If Kramer wants to honor the troops, he could stop writing letters until after the war is over.
He means the failed war on poverty, right?
If my ideas were accepted, I am sure the American people would demand a speedier return of our troops.
Wouldn't the wives be cheering?
He's just a sore loser that the Bears got their butts kicked.
Weren't GI's tuned in to the World Series during WWII? Most baseball players (Ted Williams and Hank Greenberg for example) were in the military, they had 4F's playing, but baseball still went on.
It's good morale for the troops to cheer their teams.
During WWll the football game of the year was the Army-Navy game. Football was not put on hold during that war, a world war no less. It was considered then to be good for moral. I would venture to say that many more soldiers were dieing then as well.
These people have no idea what military life is like.
Prior to the current war on terror, Soldiers, Sailors,Airmen and Marines were already serving in remote
outposts far from family and friends.Although not engaged
in direct combat,they were in harm's way. Everyone who has
served during a "peacetime deployment" has a memory of those who were killed in training or had their spouse leave them.
Our current military is doing what many of us have done in the past. They accept it as their duty. It is our duty to
appreciate their sacrifice and honor their service.
We should enjoy the life and liberty they make possible.
Semper Fi.
During the Superbowl didn't they show the troops watching in Iraq? Hasn't that been standard during the WOT?
Shouldn't the soldiers in Iraq be relieved to know that life is safe at home, and that Americans can carry on, doing the things that we normally do?
Don't these soldiers fight the war in the Middle East, to prevent the WOT here?
Don't the soldiers themselves want to be able to enjoy the Superbowl. Yes, I'm certain the majority didn't see it on television. But I have no doubt it was a favorite topic of discussion and a way to pass the time.
DON'T CODDLE THE TROOPS! They aren't babies... they are brave men and women that get the job done and keep us safe.
What an idiot. Why don't publishers just run newspapers without ads until the troops come home?
I'm thinkin, ole Loren Kramer bet the farm on da Bears.
At least he's showing his true colors. Normally, when the Dems call for things like a return to the draft and a "war tax" they try to claim that it is to promote a "shared sacrifice" such as the population had to endure in WWII.
At least this guy is basically admitting, that his goal is to impose as much pain on the American People as possible, and then linking the end of the pain, to the end of the war. Kind of like saying, we should hit everyone on the head with a hammer daily until the war stops, as a means to generate opposition to the war.
He needend't worry, the daily drumbeat of defeat from the Capitol, along with a media all too willing to demonize the U.S. Milittary will do the job soon enough.
"If my ideas were accepted, I am sure the American people would demand a speedier return of our troops."
And there we have it, this is nothing more thana self loathing liberal attempt to concede defeat to our enemies. Anti-american in every way. For this person alone, I am happy the Bears lost.
