O'Reilly let Moore get away with referring to our soldiers as children. They are NOT chidlren they are adults who volunteered to serve their country.

That is what I was yelling at the T.V.O'Reilly let him say that over and over.Michael Moore is a big barf bucket.

Now Hannity is talking about the discipline The Dems are showing during the DNC, though they are violently against US military power. He should segway into Begala's remark about the "USS Constipation".

That's how I felt...O'Reilly wasn't ready for Moore's particular kind of rhetoric. I really missed opportunity.

I think he was "in country" for 4 months.

Yep .. and there is a difference

I have a brother that was in the Marines during the Vietnam era and he would NEVER call himself a Vietnam Vet because he was never "in Country"

Dean is Up!!... And the place Goes WILD!... *L*
