Keep calling people. We need to support this Marine.

I'm on hold with them now. I never know what to say during calls like this. Any suggestions so that I don't sound like a babbling idiot??
Just talked to a very nice young man in Marines PR. They are getting lots of phone calls this morning!! I asked he what we could do to help get the embedded reporters out of Iraq. He said actually they have proved to be beneficial most of the time. He suggested we notify MSM and Congress to voice our displeasure at how this news story was handled......I assured him we would. He was most appreciative of our support -- told him the internet was buzzing this morning in support of this young Marine as well as all our troops. I suggested that a new procedure of having the reporters be the ones to check "injured" terrorists to see if they're bomb-free might be in order. He appreciated that! EVERYONE CALL NOW - LET THE MARINES KNOW WE SUPPORT THEIR ACTIONS.
Thanks for posting that number again.

I called just now, and talked to a terrific young man, said that the embedded reporters should either be removed or given rifles and told to be point men. I said that Reuters should NOT have been given that film, that Marines are highly trained and honorable men who deserve our thanks and prayers for the horrendous job they are doing for all of us.
I won't tell you what the young man said, except "Thank you, Ma'am" or tell you his name, which he gave, because I don't want to cause him any difficulty. But I told him that friends were going to pressure NBC and its sponsors, that we were praying for them ALL, that we are PROUD of our Marines, and furious with the reporter.
I urge everyone to make this call for themselves. He did say he would pass my comments along.
