Yesterday we got an e-mail from an old friend who is a captain in the U.S. Army. He writes:

Thank you for excerpting so well that nobody has the foggiest idea what in the hell you are talking about.

"If you look at the frame they are actually British soldiers. One is in shorts (we don't have shorts as a normal combat uniform) and the others are all clearly wearing British pattern fatigues.

"So, my point is that these [turkeys] pretend to argue on my behalf and bash the president in the name of my crying wife, and they don't even know what an American soldier looks like!"

Freerepublic has had legal issues with the WSJ and others on copyright. Just use the link. The Opinion Journal site is free. The story is about journalists using a picture of "American soldiers" that turned out to be "British soldiers."

Have you ever surfed the web using a PDA?

[RKV]

Yep, with a Handspring.

Of course they don't know what an American soldier looks like. Those idiots think that gay pride parades of perversion is what guarantees their freedom to be assinine fools.

That is funny.

Oh this is priceless, A M, you guys should not let this one go. Run it through the ringer for maximum exposure!!

[Fintan]

That's okay. Here's what I think MoveOn members look like. Thing is, I'm probably right.

[Right Cal Gal]

And they felt the need to get nekkid .... and now I'm off my food for a week (which is okay - need to lose those turkey lbs. and gazin' at these two turkeys should do it for me).

But but but but their intentions were good.

With next to no knowledge of the finer points of military dress, I took one look at the photo (before reading the article) and said "Those are British troops".

But, since when does Moveon.org/the press let facts stand in the way of a good story?
