KF,thanks for posting this.
LN, I’m sorry.
Today after listening to Savage about Gen Betrayus and his fight fair letter.
I came home and turned my flag upside down.
This is the same flag that has flown proudly,
over my house since our troops went into harms way!
NOW WE ALL ARE IN HARMS WAY!
This is heartbreaking.
Where are our Pattons?
PC?
So are unrealisric rules of engagement, and CommieCongressCritters!
Ugh. You’re right. I knew something was wrong when we changed the name of the Afghan war from “Infinite Justice.”
This pisses me off. The man is being tried because he decided to support the decision of the Marines on the ground. Anyone can see that the Marines did not murder anyone, but noooo. We have to appease the anti-American media and give them a good story about evil Americans killing Iraqi “civilians”.
I think this is just the way of the world, nowadays. Look at all the countries that were world powers with powerful armies...they have mostly turned politically correct. I think we are in that transition period now. I think it’s the side-affects of being more civilised, and more of a democracy.
The Article 32 hearing has been in progress for four days for Capt. Stone and will continue tomorrow at 8 AM Pacific time.There will be six more Article 32 hearings for the balance of the Haditha Marines who have been charged to decide whether they should be court-martialed.
They have civilian as well as military lawyers and they could use financial help for their defense.
PC has already destroyed our country. It is going to get worse as this weak administration tries to “do good” for everyone but loyal American citizens.
I can tell you that every one of those civilians knew that the IED was placed there, and they did nothing to stop our troops from running into it. You’d know it if someone buried a giant IED in front of your house. All these Iraqis do as well.
Gutless Bush is doing nothing to defend the poor men tha he sent into battle. Not to mention the border guards.
I’m ashamed I ever voted for Bush.
The General officer corps has been politicized for some time.Patreus is a fine example of this. PC will get alot of men killed and that is the facts.
It is why Cheney drives the MSM and the Left crazy. He is more hard line than Bush and would allow wider scope of maneuvers, tactics and strategy in the hands of our generals as to dealing with Sadr, Iran, and the Triangle.
My beloved son is a Sargent in the LA Army National Guard. During my son’s first tour in Iraq his unit went out looking for IEDS. He said that the people around those IEDS know very well that they are there and who is putting them there. He said, that everyone around an IED is an enemy. And they treat them that way. They have an interpreter with them to question the people in the immediate area which he says is invaluable. The interpreter can tell them who is lying and who is not. Consequently, they know who they should release and who they want to retain for further questioning.
Out of fear that the country that has called him to duty will make him a criminal for fighting for that country, I wont say anymore. But I have told my son that when he returns to Iraq, he should remember this, that it is better to be judged by 12, than to be carried by 6.
Fight to win. Fight to live. Come home.
God bless and protect all who fight for freedom.
