Everyone should read that, rod. Thank you SO much for posting it here..... still teary at the heart and decency of our brave troops:

CALLER: It's going on a lot over there, Rush, and unfortunately, like I said, you get a lot of these -- taking a word from you -- Drive-By politicians, they come over for a couple days, literally, because what I did I can't really say over in the Navy, but I was able to see schedules and things like that and you have these politicians that come over for a couple days and then they're going back to the States and they think that they're getting a full picture of what's going on over there as opposed to us who are out on the streets day in and day out living amongst the Iraqi people, and I'll send you, as I told your screener, I'll send some photos and let you see the pictures of these kids and their faces and how happy they are to get and receive these clothes.

(snip)

CALLER: We do. We absolutely do. We know, and a lot of us all the time would sit over there and say we don't believe the polls over there, too, that sit and say that only, you know, 30% believe in President Bush and what he's doing, because we just don't believe those polls. You know, the vast, vast majority of the military is very aware of how much support that we are getting back here in America, and we're proud to do it -- and that's why you see people signing back up, even after their tours are done, to go back over again.

Thanks so much for all you do Star! We have the greatest troop alive! They not only overcome an enemy who shoots and hides behind womens skirts but idiots at home who don't have a clue.
