"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 am so thankful for the brave men and women we have over there. To think of someone parachuting into hostile territory to save an American life. That takes some serious guts. Maybe there's hope for this country yet.

Sounds like they are circling overhead. Steady increase. Think I may need some Foglifter myself.

"Shep just said the other channel is bashing them (Fox).... "

Olbermann showed a bunch of 101st Airborne soldiers shaking Geraldo's hand, and said "The joke was on Geraldo...the men put their hands in something disgusting before they shook his hand," implying that these soldiers spread feces on their hands right before shaking Geraldo's hand.

He thought he was being vindictive, but it was a direct slur against the men he was showing shaking Geraldo's hand.

"De Villepin is smirking"

That's because the French translator just mistranslated Straw.
