I was hoping this FR site might be one such place, but alas, is just another bunch of gripers that need a “weeping wall.”

I agree with you in general, but just to stick up for my buddies...

The regulars on the Haditha Marine threads are more than gripers. We've helped raise a lot of money for the defense funds, helped arrange rallies, obtained documents and posted them online, given the families a place to find support, been a source of inspiration for defense lawyers, and generally have fought the good fight in the court of public opinion.

So I know FR has been, and can be, an effective forum to influence events--when people are willing to put themselves out and DO something. And it doesn't take more than a handful of people to make a big difference.

I knew someone was doing that which you describe, but didn't realize is was a Freeper subset. I salute you all for stepping up to take on a difficult and probably an unappreciated task - a job well done.

It would be a good project to identify those in the military and government, NGO's too, who are at the center of this anti-military crusade. Identify and spread their names and organizations in every newspaper and magazine - if only by writing letters to the editor. This must stop or no one will ever re-enlist, even with a $20M bonus. It is not the danger of being shot at over "there," but being crucified at home.
