[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Remember what happened to the Army Rangers in Somalia in 1993? Bill Clinton left our men there to be slaughtered, their naked corpses dragged through the streets by murdering Muslims.

President Bush has proven that he will not let that happen and because of that, he deserves our support. If the day ever comes that he turns yellow, then I will criticize his administration, but not before. We owe it to our CinC and his troops to present a united front to the world. This public whining accomplishes nothing but to provide ammunition to our enemies in the MSM, academia and throughout the world.

I have vivid memories of the Vietnam War and those responsible for our failure. Where were you in 1968?

You've only proven to me that you're more interested in shielding the administration from potential embarrassment than you are shielding the troops from harm.

That is a pretty powerful admission of my premise stated up thread and that is why those like you really got mad at me, mocked me, lied about me and opposed me.

You really ARE more interesting in supporting the adminstration than the troops.

And NO, it is not the same thing!

You ask me about 1968? I was too young then to serve.

I ask you about now. That was then, this is now. Where are you TODAY? There are plenty of VN vets serving and working in Iraq. Where are you TODAY?

Or is this a NATO matter?

NATO = No Action, Talk Only
