Ted Rall has struck again - this time with words instead of his little cartoons. In his Dec. 6, 2005 editorial, "We're Looking for a Few Good Refuseniks", Rall attacks the US military and veterans again. Rall credits the "unelected" President Bush for the military turning its back on its once "honorable calling". Rall then blames the US soldiers for "torturing, maiming and murdering POWs, robbing and subjecting civilians to collective punishment, dropping white phosphorus and depleted uranium bombs on civilian targets."
Pooh-poohing the "they are just following orders" excuse, Rall reminds his readers that the illegal, immoral and unjust war could not have been waged without a "compliant and complicit US military". He calls for the "men and women of our armed forces" to be "held individually accountable for the carnage". Rall continues that our "government's poorly paid contract killers" do not deserve our support for blindly following orders. So much for "we support the troops but not their mission".
Rall holds up Darrell Anderson, the 22 year old deserter, as a role model for the soldiers serving their country. Anderson ran and hid in Canada because he "couldn't kill women and children." Rall said that Anderson made the "right choice".
In the closing of his anti-military screed, Rall could not resist attacking another group of military veterans - the Vietnam Veterans. The reports of Vietnam Veterans being spit on and being called baby-killers was nothing more than fiction in Rall's warped little world. Contrary to what the world actually witnessed, Rall said it was the first Rambo movie that spurred all the spitting and baby-killer claims. Instead of treating our returning veterans like gum on the bottom of their shoe, Rall recounts Chris Clarke's take of the anti-Vietnam activists "opening coffee houses near the military bases and sending the GI's care packages and letters."
Ted Rall does have the right to free speech - thanks to the soldiers that he hates. What he does not have the right to do is offer aid and comfort to our enemies by undermining our soldiers. Some of the Democrats are distancing themselves from Howard Dean and his "we're gonna lose" attitude. When will the media, especially Yahoo, start distancing themselves and stop publishing hate from the anti-American, anti-military scum, Ted Rall?
I want him gone as much as Tookie.
"Here's hoping the US military that Rall hates so much decides to pay him a personal visit when they return home..."
Rall is such scum that our troops shouldn't waste their time scraping him off the bottoms of their boots. But if they're interested in a personal visit to give that fool their side of the story, I'd provide the airfare.
Ted Rall is perhaps the second worst liberal I have ever seen (second only to Ward Churchill).
The mind boggles..
Beyond outrageous!
"This one's on the house"?
OK - for the military guys and gals out there; I think I'm pretty well-versed in military munitions, tactics etc. (hey, I watch "Roll Call" on the History Channel every week!) but I've never heard of a "depleted uranium bomb". Is this a real thing, or is Rall just being a Liberal?
Draft his a$$.
He wouldn't last a week.
Why isn't this piece of filth dead?
"Rall"?
Isn't that something your butt gets when you wipe it with this retard's hate-America tripe?
Why is he even a cartoonist? The guy's drawings look like they were done by a five year old.
This much hate and illogic can only come from someone truly mentally ill.
Imagine if he pulled this in some of the countries he admires.
Ignore him.
Oh yeah...

Thought you guys might like this. :)
On the one hand he calls our troops "contract killers" who should be "held individually accountable for the carnage." Then on the other hand tries to claim that he and other anti-war activists did not feel the same way about Vietnam Veterans (opened coffeeshops for them, sent them care packages...)
Even by the standards of idiocy Rall usually adheres to, this one doesn't even begin to make sense. I don't think he even knows what his point is anymore, if he has one.
I'll provide the ammunition.
"I want him gone as much as Tookie"
