"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. This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.

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!

I'm afraid we've seen our last complete episode of 'This Old Bunker'. That weekend was a classic.

The founding fathers felt we needed freedom of the press so that regular citizens could check up on the government

I heard what Shep said, but I have a problem with him treating it as if it has anything to do with our founding fathers and the rights they preserved for OUR nation. These people are not on American soil. They don't have the same rights over there as they do here.

BUT, that still doesn't take away the fact that the context in which Shep was talking was in regards to emails from people saying that they deserved to die.

It is indeed sad that some of them died and were injured, however that is war. If they weren't part of the media, they would be referred to as 'collateral damage' and there wouldn't be any talk about the Geneva convention.

As far as the emails go, right or wrong, these people are just expressing their first amendment rights which is something else our founding fathers rightly preserved for us.

The United States government and military wants these reporters there.

I disagree. I think they are doing more to help the other side by virtue of not being able to speak freely about what is going on over there. How is anything that Baghdad Bob is saying helping us?

Excuse me, for the acronym-impaired: SAR? PJ's?

Ah, wouldn't that be something? Hear aircraft in the distance now. Don't think it is the wind, but I could be mistaken.

Read Daniel Pipes; he has a MUCH better perpesctive and IS an expert , who also LOVES America. You'll be much happier and better informed, by him, than the writer of this trash, who has only vaguely stumbled upon some truth. :-)

Indeed it was. I guess they've run over to the Palace to start filming "Surprised By Design"...

PJ's = Para Jumpers, USAF medics charged with search and rescue

Speaking of O'Rourke, did he and a couple other columnists head North of the boarder by themselves a few days ago? Any word from them?
