Anyone who is for the 'cause' is the one's off their rocker!!!
I am for the Troops, I have the utmost respect for them, and they do not lie to me about anything, and I am in constant contact with some of them.
The Troops are just doing their job.. they do NOT have to like it, or agree with it, but they DO have to do it, and that is fact.
If you THINK that our Troops are fighting for OUR freedom, then YOU have been listening to too much Rush!!! Or O'Reilley, what JOKES they are!!! OPINIONS are all they offer.
Yeah, just like you slam Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, etc. I look at See B.S. and see the hand-picked individuals used to make a hit-piece. Soldiers gripe and complain, always have, always will. I should know as I was in charge of 120 soldiers during OIF-1 4 years ago. However, these soldiers on See B.S. the other night, most have no clue about what they were talking about. Most sounded coached to me. I believe in freedom of speech, even soldiers have that right (as long as they are out of uniform). However, I do not believe in a right of uneducated, ignorant speech. And I have seen alot of it on here, by folks who get their info from 30-second soundbites, 30-minute newscasts (of which, 10 minutes are commercial breaks), or an Internet blog or whatever. I talk to folks over in Iraq on a mostly daily basis, and what they are telling me, as Southern Patriot has stated before, is very different. A few soldiers whining does not trump several thousand who have been there, done that that support what they are doing, and disgusted by the actions of politicians, MSM, and shrill groups.
