Hey, remember that dramatic CNN footage of that big statue of Saddam Hussein being toppled by U.S. forces in that Baghdad square a few months back, during the "war"? Remember how powerfully symbolic it was supposed to be?
Remember, later, seeing the wide-angle shot on the Internet, the one of all the U.S. tanks surrounding the square and the whole bogus setup of how they staged the event, complete with a big crane and some strong cable and strategically positioned "citizens" cheering their "liberation" as the statue fell, as just off camera, a handful of genuine Iraqis loitered nearby, looking confused and bored?

Morford probably wrote this article after reading all the Lynch threads on FR.

You present the risk of having such a freak within the ranks! I'd be counting on the service having a positive impact on him. But as you suggest, it would be a significant risk! Not sure I'd want him either.

Markie...Jessica Lynch voluntarily went into a dangerous occupation and when her superiors ordered her into a war zone, she went. The most dangerous thing
you do on any given day is bend over and grab your ankles.
Jessica Lynch is more of a man than you'll ever be. In fact, she's more of a woman than you'll ever be.

No doubt parking-lot-ass would find the latter more insulting.

Sadly Sweet Jessie should just fade away - but it ain't gonna happen.

After all the "woman in cobat" threads that Pfc. Lynch has spawned on FR, I think it is important to point out that she would definitely kick the crap out of Morford.

I'd be counting on the service having a positive impact on him. Possible, I suppose. The horse might learn to sing. But can you honestly tell me you'd be thrilled to have Pillow-Biter First Class (PB1) Morford, Mark A. assigned to your ship? I can see it now: he'd want to be a gunner's mate, and a machinist's mate, and a bosun's mate ...
And then there's the penguins to consider. Mustn't forget the penguins.

Still laughing! No, it is confirmed, I don't want him!

He'd run away crying like a baby!

Who is this Morford jackass, anyway?
To: presidio9
This is just too much of a lie to let it go without a response. I wrote a letter to the editor, and I'd urge everyone to do the same.
