"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!

Fox has been kicking every channel's butt tonight(unlike last night). Shep is underappreciated, IMHO.

As far as I know, they are not over there. If they are, it is my fault for leaving them out. (Trying to be all inclusive is HARD!!)

What was that he was asking about reserves? Was he saying that he couldn't remember the last time reserves were called up in a war?

When's baghdad bob's next speach I want to see the tanks roll in behind him while he's on air.

Why, so he can show everyone the tanks they captured?

He usually comes on between 3 and 4am CDT (Noon-1:00PM Baghdad). Today, I'm sure, he's keeping his schedule "flexible" to allow for contingencies (such as getting the hell out of Dodge).

CRAP! I have been seeing FOX vicariously thru the FReepers on this thread. We were supposed to get cable hooked up Monday. When I got home, no cable. Hubby called, and the moron said..Oh..we were going to hook up channels 100-400, but someone called and cancelled". Hubby told moron he did not know who that could be, neither of us had called to cancel...why would we cancel the day after we ordered(Me thinks they just fogot or overbooked or whatever and decided to "cancel" for us. Plus, we did not want 100-400. Why would I want 100-400? FOX is on channel 38, Gosh Ramnit! So, ALLEGEDLY, I will get cable tomorrow, and can follow along.
