"Wish You Were Here"

For all the free people that still protest.
You're welcome. We protect you and you are protected by the best.
Your voice is strong and loud,
but who will fight for you? No one standing in your crowd.
We are your fathers, brothers, and sons,
wearing the boots and carrying guns.
We are the ones that leave all we own,
to make sure your future is carved in stone.
We are the ones who fight and die,
We might not be able to save the world, Well, at least we try.
We walked the paths to where we are at
and we want no choice other than that.
so when you rally your group to complain,
take a look in the back of your brain.
In order for that flag you love to fly
wars must be fought and young men must die.
We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear.
If that's not respected, we would rather stay here.
So please stop yelling, put down your signs,
and pray for those behind enemy lines.
When the conflict is over and all is well,
be thankful that we chose to go through hell.



Corporal Joshua Miles and all the boys from 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines,
Kuwait 3/9/2003

Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - LIVE THREAD.

It is designed for general conversation about the events of the day. In depth discussion of events should be left to individual threads - but links to the threads or other articles is highly encouraged.

Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help!  If you post graphics, please "size" them so that our browsers continue to load the rest of the thread!

Thanks for the link to that article, and this warning/disclaimer.

Excerpt:

To: sinkspur

Absolutely. And the very last thing we need to be doing is complaining about the diversity of the fantastic liberating force, or the diversity of our country.

This fantastic amalgam of human beings known as the United States of America has stood firmly behind the military as it ousts a tyrant and gives fellow human beings a taste of freedom they haven't known for 30 YEARS!

FWIW, those are the finest three sentences you have ever written on this board! IMHO.

Regards,

TS

I think when the smoke clears, they will discover that this regime is every bit as terrible as the Nazi's and ponder how it could exist in these modern times.

MSNBC Bag Cam, 0944 EDT - Panning around the circle. Lots of people just standing around. I can't see any ropes on the Saddam statue. People climbing the base, but... Richard Engle trying to establish IFB contact with media HQ.

What a time to need to get more coffee and make a related visit to the washroom..!

Big guy got it started. Then he reaches back and lets others go at it. Isn't that something.

Jon Scott with a sobering thought about the Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of Iraq.

At least the mission will be completed.

This is just like the Berlin Wall...

That was my thought, but imagine just how satisfying it feels to pound away on Saddam.

Beeb reporting altercation between Marine and a female British Human-Shield. Broken up... I guess it was just name calling.

The shield needed B-slapping at least, and testing as a shield may have been appropriate.

Thinking of the hours that the webcam was stark and pointed at the traffic circle.

No movement, no control, nothing. Sterile. Only a few single people walking.

Just seconds after the tanks came in the circle, movement, scanning, control, and FREEDOM began.

But the liberals claim war never solved anything!
