Dio 'Bump!'

Dio, I don't know if you have seen any of the AP pictures floating around of our soldier's overseas in various situations praying. One was in our local paper as an accompaniment to a pro-war OpEd, showing a group of Marines praying over a fallen comrade, next to what appears to be an APC or M1Abrams tank, plus at church today before the Easter service, they had various pictures on the video screens of overseas American GI's praying in various scenarios, one clutching a letter from home to his face, with the admonition to "Pray for Our Troops!"

These were and are very moving. If you or anyone else can keep their eyes peeled for them!?

Thanks for the BUMP Salem; I hope you will join me in praying Psalms 23, 54 and 91 for our troops!

Here is one, Salem

In Fallujah, heroes from U.S. Marines pray over a fallen hero for freedom
who gave his life to protect American citizens and those who cherish freedom and liberty around the world.

Very moving indeed, Salem! Thanks for another great, ping!

I'm nearly speechless. I will only add one recollection from memory and readings. As I look at the images of Arab thugs brandishing Soviet weaponry, I am reminded of a tactic employed by SF in Vietnam. It involved booby trapping weapons caches with explosive ordinance. Wouldn't you love of of these hooligans fire off an RPG only to have it spray him and his entire position with shrapnel. Or how about tampered 7.62 rounds that explode or stove-pipe leaving these maggots blind or better. The enemy thrives on scavenged ordinace. Make them scared to use it.

I'd hate to pay the respect of compliment to any enemy of the United States, and I would be interested to have a qualified commentator verify this ascertion for me, but these insurgent punks can not be compare in any way to the Viet Cong.... except perhaps with regards to their inhumanity.
