After reading this I find my self even more angry than I was before I read this. Between the politicians who are using Iraq as a foundation for their political careers, the media whores who want to sell their product and bring down a President, and the sheople of this country who are too apathetic to take the time to educate themselves, and our soldiers caught between them all, lies my anger that this country if full of people who don't have the sense God gave a cockroach. We need to have people like Chief Warrant Officer Chris and Colonel McMaster telling the American people the truth of what goes on in Iraq, rather than the media elites who have another agenda.

As I've often said, this is where you and I come into the picture. (example) A couple of weeks ago I started telling little tid bits to the guy I relieve at work, Today when I showed up the 1st thing he said was "well what happened today?"

[FreeReign]

Well said.

[Uriah_lost]

He touched on but didn't go into the thing that infuriates many in service and those that support them. To whit: The pathetic condescension of those that feign concern over the well being of the troops and all their "It's not worth one of our brave soldiers' lives." ...or... "How can we ask them to risk their lives for a people that don't want or deserve freedom?"
Those who do the sacrificing are worth more than the whole simpering, deceitful, self-righteous, dishonorable lot of them.

Your point is well taken. I've had conversations with people on tidbits of information I've received from those with "boots on the ground". Some people listen intently and seem to understand. Others? It would take a 2000 pound bomb going off in front of their own home to wake them up to the dangers this world faces from these terrorists.

Thanks.

"It's not worth one of our brave soldiers' lives." ...or... "How can we ask them to risk their lives for a people that don't want or deserve freedom?"/i>

Those who make these comments are the worse. They don't know a thing about what the average Iraqi is like or wants, but they profess to know that the lives of our soldiers are not worth the lives of the Iraqi people.

Those who do the sacrificing are worth more than the whole simpering, deceitful, self-righteous, dishonorable lot of them.

Just one soldier fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq or anywhere in the world where we are fighting the terrorists is worth more than 10 times the number of these narcissistic, self-aggrandising, self-appreciating, ill-liberal morons who claims they know the answer to all the worlds ills. If they all disappeared off the face of the Earth tomorrow noone would miss them.

[SoldierDad]

Only your comments in my post should have been italizised.

[Valin]

Others?

Some people insist on living in a very very small world, and there's nothing you can do about them. Well you can hit them on the head with a ballpeen hammer, but the police tend to take a dim view of that sort of thing.

[SoldierDad]

Yup!!

[RetiredArmy]

Now that is a soldier you can be proud of right there.

[Earthdweller]

Wow..that was great. We should have this guy on TV 24/7. The support for the efforts would go through the roof.

[Valin]

HELLO! Paging the Pentagon...Paging the Pentagon. Pentagon pick up the phone!
Something I've been saying for quite some time now.

[zot]

Bump to the top.

[Uriah_lost]

Your last paragraph is exactly what I meant to write but was unable to due to the angry twitching in my hands while I typed. It's hard to write lucidly when in an apoplectic rage, it seems.
Thanks

My Daughter says basically the same thing about the Iraqi people and their desire for a free Iraq. As Chief Warrant Office Chris says, it's a few bad apples -- and they make the headlines.

The good never hits the news wires here.
