Free Republic

Cindy Sheehan does not believe those filthy ragheads and camel jockeys in Iraq deserve freedom. Nor does she believe they should be allowed to live in peace or be able to sleep at night without wondering if their genocidal dictator’s bloodthirsty henchmen are going to kick their door in and drag the entire family off to a grisly torture chamber, where the parents will be made to watch their children be repeatedly raped and sodomized and finally blinded and dismembered while still alive. Her son adamantly disagreed with her. U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, in fact, disagreed with his mother...

I will be returning to the place of my birth next month to testify before Congress. Yes, I fully realize that our founding fathers are spinning in their dirt beds. The Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus has asked me to appear before them on 21 September. I will now spend the next 7 weeks preparing for my testimony. Whereas I have a great deal of information and guidance to give them, I hope to also have the chance to let them know what my audience is thinking and what Freepers are thinking, so if you have anything (no profanity, please) you...

There is a continuous interest among Freepers in gathering accurate intelligence regarding the war on terror. To that end, the Intelligence Summit (www.intelligencesummit.org) is set for Feb 2006 in DC. Lots of high-speed speakers will deliver presentations, including former DCI James Woolsey. My presentation will be titled "Countermeasure Methodology: Defeating Terrorists in the Reconnaissance Phase of the Operation." If any of you attend, please intro yourself to me. --Gunny

I have been a student of war since 1968 and became a Marine in the 1970s as a teenager. In part because of my unusual, enhanced career path as a Marine infantry unit leader with extensive special operations and counterterrorism experience, and because of my access to some of the foremost asymmetric warfare and terrorism experts alive today, I have been able to formulate an 10-point plan that, if strictly adhered to, will allow the United States and its allies to win the war on terror sooner than expected. Points 1 through 9 are mandatory in that failure to accomplish...

The pain is mind-boggling. I hate that parachute and every other thing and event that partially disabled me. And I hate the fact that I wasn’t clever enough to realize long ago how I would pay much later in life for my knowing and willing abuse on my body in the Corps. My machismo stopped me from seeking the medical attention I needed after each injury while on active duty, and sometimes the situation was such that seeing the corpsman or battalion surgeon wasn’t an option at the moment. C’est la guerre. But what I hate the most is how...

I am abnormal and wish to explain. I am abnormal, according to leftist extremist Reggie Rivers, who writes a column in the Denver Post, because I believe in defending (and have defended with my life, as have millions more true Americans) the flag which represents the principles for which so many Americans have died. Frankly, I am proud to be so abnormal. In his latest anti-American tirade in the way-to-the-left Post, "Radical Reggie" continues his never-ending attacks on America by stating that "the flag is not without its problems." People like Osama bin Laden love it when Americans attack their...

Gunny Bob's Hall of Heroes You have just entered a sacred place. Here in this Hall of Heroes are the stories of just a handful of the heroes who have risked their lives under fire in the war on terror. In some cases, these men of steel and grit have made the ultimate sacrifice so that others might live. In the case of those who survived their selfless act of heroism, none ever brag about their medals and the deeds that brought these bits of cloth and metal to their chests. They simply salute, reload, and press on with...

The first battle was joined about a week ago. My unit’s enemies had been enjoying many victories (all against the weak and defenseless) on battlefields outside of my area of operations when they finally showed up in a place my growling troops could get at them. I quickly consulted my small-unit leaders, analyzed the intelligence I was being provided with, called the enemy to let them know they were about to get whomped (I like to fight fair and have found that telling the enemy they are about to get their asses handed to them has a way of rattling...
