These people sicken me - from Kerry to Murtha to what's his name, the one in the wheelchair - and now Blumenthal and DeVore - all claiming to be some kind of military heroes - even the ones that WERE in the war zone, like Kerry - his story is disgusting...Knowing that 3 times wounded, you could demand to get out...so he saw to it he had 3 ‘wounds’ and had to DEMAND a band aid for one scratch.

It's so demeaning to our REAL troops.

None of these lily livers would last 5 minutes with my grandson's platoon - heck, they wouldn't even last long enough to make the initial trek up the mountain to the firebase.

The upcoming movie “Restrepo” should be required showing in both the Congress and the Senate and full attendance mandatory.

These men were ‘out there’ on a 15 month deployment, no running water let alone hot water, no hot food - often one MRE a day, no showers or change of clothes for 5 weeks at a time - and they were in over 1,000 (NOT typo) firefights. (and as I write this, they are back in Afghanistan - with the new ROE written to protect the Taliban over our soldiers. Bad enough they were restricted from shooting until shot at - now they're supposed to refrain from even that! Think I'm kidding. GOOGLE it.

These politicians disgust me -

Watch for it...if you miss it at the theater, it will be on Nat’l Geo in the fall. GOGGLE for reviews...

written and produced by Sebastian Junger (Perfect Storm) and prize winning photojournalist, Tim Hetherington, who both spent 5 months embedded with them in “The Most Dangerous Place on Earth” - took top award at Sundance “Grand Jury Award”

and Sebastian's book about it just came out: “WAR”

Point out the “lie”, toots, before flapping your gums.
