They talked to a couple in the article, but it's likely going to be 30 seconds versus 18 minutes. Yeah, that's fair.

As far as the Marine Sgt. who said, "Just because we volunteered for the military doesn't mean we volunteered to put our lives in unnecessary harm and to carry out missions that are illogical and immoral." makes me wonder 1--how he ever became a Marine, 2--ever became an NCO.

Makes me wanna puke, actually.

And I love how they paint this guy Hutto (no-load POS) as an Iraq vet when I'm pretty darned sure he never stepped foot on the sandbox or heard a shot fired in anger, rather he sat his happy little butt off the coast drinking coffee and griping that the A/C wasn't on high enough in his bunk.

When you have the majority party in Congress calling the war in Iraq a mistake, Obama saying that the loss of the over 3,000 lives is a "waste," Sen Hagel asserting that it is the biggest foreign policy blunder in history, and the House of Reps passing a Resolution against the surge and rebuking the CIC's actions, what do you expect?

This is proof positive that the Dems are undermining the morale and resolve of our troops. It reminds me of Kerry's lying tesitmony before Congress and his question, "How do you ask someone to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

I wondered about this to, so I did a little looking. Turns out he was a Photographer's Mate on the TR. Not even a watchstander type.

The sum total of Hutto's experiences of Iraq is one six month tour in the Persian Gulf taking photographs aboard the Theodore Roosevelt.

Military personnel speaking out?....

I watched a special about the Marines on PBS last night..and after watching that, I find it so disturbing that a MARINE would be one that is questioning whether the "mission" is immoral or not!!!

I thought Marines are "team players"....there is no I in team.

Don't bing the entire Navy down with this guy. The truth is, there are sailors on the ground on the AOR.
