With all the hoohah about the movie "300" one must ask who is our Leonidas?

Darius and his son Xerses assembled armies to conquer and become rulers of the "whole world". 2500 years later we face the same threat from the same region.

So Rosie draws a parallel between Tonkin and the Twin Towers attack. She is a Mega-Idiot!

[jazusamo]

She is a Mega-Idiot!

LOL!! That is an understatement.

[patriciaruth]

one must ask who is our Leonidas?

No one, I hope. He and his 300 and a bunch more who stood with them all died. Leonidas had the honor of having his head chopped off and paraded on a spike.

Me, I'm with Patton. Let the other poor b**tard die for HIS country."

Rosie is a mountain of trailer trash whose single oriface should only be aimed at a toilet. She is too disgusting to be considered a human and there isn't an animal alive that would want to mate such a beast. Her only value on earth is that she is the world's largest barking @sshole, which is some distinction. I would spend more money to watch dog doo dry in the sun than watch her show...did God put her on earth to exemplify what hell is like?

Colonel North is correct in saying our civilian contractors should be honored.

[ClaireSolt]

She speaks to Hitlery's biggest demographic, high school dropouts. They don't have the info or reasoning ability to defend themselves. They don't get cable.

Nice words from North. I've been there, done that - 14 years as a civilian contractor and there are times when you're treated lower than dog dirt. And times when you aren't. But without going into details - if you're in the field and designated "essential personnel" you're in for the ride and you'd better never get caught because you're dead meat if you are. Makes life interesting.

Can't we draft Ollie North for President?

[jazusamo]

Ollie North never ceases to amaze me. He understands and recognizes everyone that's doing their jobs whether it be military, civilian or Iraqi's.

I wish we could, he'd get my vote.

"Colonel North is correct in saying our civilian contractors should be honored."

I'm betting most of them just wish they could be armed! (Legally anyways.)

That's just frickin' ridiculous.

HEAR HEAR!!

And I want Michael Reagan (the adopted one) as VP

Though Gen. David Petraeus testified at his confirmation hearing on Jan. 23 that he was "secured by contract security in my last tour there," and described the PSCs as essential to his strategy for victory, he appears to have changed his mind. Last week the Maliki government issued regulations -- enforced by the U.S. military -- stripping weapons from all civilian contractors unless they have a new permit issued by the Ministry of the Interior (MOI). The Catch-22 in all of this is that the MOI has yet to issue any new permits.

Lawrence T. Peter, director of the Private Security Association of Iraq, says that the new regulation "disarms virtually all PSC personnel not working directly for the U.S. government and prevents any coalition civilian traveling through Baghdad from legally carrying a weapon." He added, "we now have American troops disarming American civilians. It just got a whole lot more dangerous to be a reporter, a reconstruction worker or a coalition diplomat in Iraq. The terrorists must love this."

Gadzooks, this burns me up! Have we lost all common sense?

I'm a civilian in Colorado. A new characteristic is manifested in my personality since the ceasefire with Hezbollah and the election of the quitters and impeachers: cynicism. I've been saying, "I don't care," in response to these disappointing events as a way to protect my emotional and mental health; as opposed to worrying and getting worked up over the knowledge of things I have no control over. I voted. I am disappointed. So after the election in 2006, I purchased a firearm for the first time in my life. And every time I hear more bad news, I buy more ammo. The jihad is coming closer, and I don't trust my pacifist nation to keep me safe. What happened to the Byzantine Empire can happen to America.

Here are my recent bumper sticker designs.

The disparity in how these two American casualties are treated in death may be stark -- but it's nothing new. Civilian contractors have served beside -- and been treated differently than -- the U.S. military since the American Revolution. From 1775 when he arrived in Boston to assume command of the Continental Army, Washington depended on civilian contractors to provide food, weapons, ammunition, transport, armories, engineering, construction, clothing and medical assistance for his troops. Though many of these civilians shared the same hardships and privations as the troops they supported, they were more often criticized than honored by our government.

As usual, Ollie gets it.

A lot of people think we're the scum of the earth, but we don't care. We enjoy supporting the troops in this capacity. We know what we're doing...and the troops seem to appreciate it.

Ping!
