The Observer article ticked me off last night. The left and their dishonest activist groups pretending to speak for the rest of the military....sowing dissent and dividing the nation - as usual - and during wartime after 9-11.

Thanks for the great work. That article in the Observer angered me as well. It seems to me that the greatest threat to the troops and the memory of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, is to have our support recede or the confidence in the mission eroded by unreasonable expectations and the reactions of weak kneed politicians. The press and every single Dem presidential candidate are leading the effort to make this so.

Amen. It's a major scandal.

Gen. Myers felt it necessary to say this last week:

''In general, the biggest shortcoming from Iraq to Afghanistan is not the accomplishment of the mission as much as it is getting the word out about the successes we're achieving every day." ~ Gen. Richard Myers, 8/05/03

You know the press is behaving very badly when a military leader criticizes them in public. Gen. Myers just put his neck on the block for his troops.

When I read this quote I was so furious. The press will be out for his blood, just as they went after SOD Rumsfeld when he told the watching world that the American people had sense enough to find the trustworthy news sources after the march to Baghdad. Even FoxNews attacked SOD Rumsfeld....and he was only responding to a very hurt young man who just helped win a major victory - only to discover his country's press wasn't on his side.

When the press attacks Gen. Myers, SOD Rumsfeld, Pres. Bush unfairly, and disses our military - they need to know they're attacking "we the people" - and we aren't running for election or subject to military codes of conduct.
