Mostly, I'm sorry that this issue is distracting people from the good work and heroism of our troops fighting overseas -- there are so many thousands who do their job every day, under difficult circumstances. They deserve more notice and attention.
Big bump that, sky. And, if I can put in a plug for another Freeper, I'd encourage people to get on SandRat's ping list for war news you'll only find on FR.
Judging from your screen name, 68skylark, you and I are about the same age. No need to remind either of us about the anti-military horrors of the '60s and '70s. I see it coming again and hate it beyond words.
Agreed, skylark.
It is so frustrating the way this unfolded with Murtha and the media basically convicting these Marines months before an investigation was even completed.
They believed everything that was coming from an terrorist insurgent controlled town and practically nothing from our Marines who were there.
I believe a lot of what is said on these threads is venting by people who can do nothing else but want to support these Marines in some way and they and their families deserve that support. I know I am guilty of that myself at times.
