The true American Spirit! Having a little fun in the face of danger...they are so very brave and I pray for their safety as well as for the safety of all of the innocent civilians in the way. May God grant them safety and a speedy victory!

The Marines will do the job, its as good as a done deal.

Still you are certainly right prayers are the right thing.

My oldest son is among them and his younger brother will probably fly air cover for them.

If I sound worried and more than a little proud you're right on both counts.

That's great. Hope someone got some video.

Nothing is any worse than being in a 'hurry up and wait' mode.

God bless both your sons and all their fellow warriors. I will pray for them and you. Thank you for raising 2 sons who unselfishly serve their country when called upon.

PETA will weigh in soon....

That's exactly what I thought. Isn't it a crying shame when that's the first thing we think about on the eve of a tough battle?

Some of our men will die. Many Iraqis, some of them innocent, will die.

And we're going to hear from the animal rights folks about how this chariot race is "inhumane"

Maybe we could all take a collection so that the PETA people could go over and tell the Marines in person????

These guys are classic.

Truly our best are in the field.

Let us not just be sad. We must remember that there is danger, of life and limb, but also glory and honor in what these soldiers are doing. No matter what some America hating scum may say on the news.
