Well, I certainly do not want to see, nor do I like it, when a person, a FReeper, who is on the ground in Baghdad, fighting for our rights, being called those kind of names. THAT is positively unAmerican.

I didn’t see where he specifically was called any names, but of course it’s possible I missed something.

Oh, some of the Paulies are more vicious to those of us who are in Iraq than they are to anyone else.

I've had several of them accuse me of being in it for the money, which tells volumes more about their personalities and what motivates them than it does about the people they are trying to insult.

They take how they would react in a particular situation and they project it on to others.

It's truly disgusting, but I realize they're socially maladjusted, likely unhappy, lonely, not very productive and are probably a chore to be around, so I just laugh at them. ;-)

They don't have a clue what Iraq is really like and they could never, ever understand how the mission gets into one's blood and try as you might to pull away, you keep being pulled back because of the progress being made and because of the fascination in having a 50-yardline seat for history being made.

But people like you vastly outnumber those types and that's what counts.
