Now if you think its great that the media decides it needs to come out and portray this """

I want the truth of the situation reported, because I believe in living -- as an individual and as a nation -- according to facts, not fantasy. And the truth is that the Guard is being strained by the burdens being placed on them. read post 35, above, apparently by a guardsman. It's not that I thhink it's "great" that the media is reporting the truth - it's that we need to know the truth, and not sugar-coat hard situations, so that we can form policy intelligently. This is a democracy, and in a democracy, the people must be told what's going on. If you'd rather not know what's going on, then you might feel more comfortable in an authoritarian country.

I hear whats going on directly from members of the 39th Brigade Combat Team in Baghdad every week and it doesn't match what is on the news every night. Now you can jump on the media's quagmire bandwagon if you want to. But I believe my pal in Baghdad more than I believe you.

Tell me church-shill-stuff, does it get lonely being the only person on a conservative website parroting Charlie Rangle's lies? I mean I look at your BS draft threads and people just savage you terribly. Do you get the sense that perhaps that it's not just your BS they aren't buying but you as well?

But I have to give your side credit. Earlier today, while you were indisposed, there was a thread showing one of your sides latest flyer's. A scare tactic draft lie with a photo of stacked up dead U.S. servicemen. You might want to consider tracking that picture down and using it with your own scare tactic draft lie threads. Visuals add impact to the lies and I seriously doubt you would be despised any less.
