All this hatred and I feel invisible. I am not a Democrat and I once was a Republican, so I guess I don’t matter. I’ve shead my blood in defense of this country and I think the current President is the worst in history. By definition he is a traitor who spends more money on the Iraq and Afgan borders than he does on the US borders.”

Sir, I am totally in agreement with you on this, but would expand it to include the NeoCon and elite Repubs who are ruining the party. The scandals are just beginning.

As for the earlier comment by the elite Seal team member,whom we admire and respect,I would ask him to study how many bad wars our troops have been sent out on by a corrupt civilian government. WWI would just be for openers, and the USS Liberty survivors who have a war crimes charge against Israel sitting on the Dept of the Army’s desk with no action being taken…and also being ignored by the Navy.

It’s a nasty world.

I served in the Army, with the 101st Airborne (Air Assault), twice. I believe that blindly following leaders who put our boys in danger for NO REASON flies directly in the face of what is good for our military. Go out any buy the new book Fiasco so you can see how the executive ignored the advice of military planners way more than once with regard to Iraq.

With that said, you apparently forgot what your service to our country was all about…preserving the freedom to dissent. That is the laurel our country was founded on and the constant theme you continue to bring forth in your posts consists of ridiculing those who have an opinion different from yours because they never served.

That is more like the way Ho Chi Min or Adolf Hitler would have run their kingdoms, not the way Thomas Jefferson of George Washington would have.

All this hatred and I feel invisible. I am not a Democrat and I once was a Republican, so I guess I don’t matter. I’ve shead my blood in defense of this country and I think the current President is the worst in history. By definition he is a traitor who spends more money on the Iraq and Afgan borders than he does on the US borders. It is possible I’m stupid, my exwife certainly thought so, Mr. Wallace, but didn’t the Commander in Chief swear like you and I did to protect and defend this Country? You gave years, I gave blood, and President Bush is just giving our country away. You made some excellent points but ignoring the sins and crimes of the current President makes you look and sound irrational.

Political Labels and parties are identical which is to say worthless. Two of the best Congressmen I’ve ever witnessed are Phil Gingrey and Larry McDonald-a Republican and a Democrat, but they are both so foolish as to represent the people in their Districts. The rest of the Congress and Senators are like a baby’s diaper, they need changing often for the same reason.

DOOMONYOU

I respect the military and I respect what they do. In the current battle against the ideology of radical Islam, it is not sensible to allow ourselves to stoop to the level of doing things that can be considered torture–the enemy remembers, and the more acts we perpetrate the higher the chance we invite NON “Radical Muslims” to pick up a grudge against America. In fact, this is the problem with W’s decision to call this a “War”–warfare is brutal and ugly, and if we do it “right” as you advocate, we’re going to piss off a whole lot of people and we’ll never be able to stamp it all out.

Drop the Hanoi Jane bullcrap, it’s spoiled milk. That’s what’s turning your stomach, and frankly your crap is turning mine.

I’m done with the uber-conservative pleas for patriotism and accusations of treason and God only knows what else. I can’t wait til November 7.

And I’m done with you.

I will stand up your right to freedom of speech but also will not give away my right to disagree. I am not going to lower my standards to insult any one personally. I intent to get all of you that I believe deserves it. You will know wh0 you are!I heard alot of trashing of the congressman and slamming of those who disagree with you. I have heard several comments against both men and believe that those wh making demeaning comments have no personal integrity. I served my country for over 20 years and will not allow anyone to impune that service.

I heard the crap that Hanoi Jane spread and the Lies of John Kerry that he spread in an effort to become President.

If you have never served this country in some manner other that of being a loud mouth nay sayer, I believe you should get out of this country and check into one that you think is better. lotsa luck. The travel channel does not show the worst side of those countries.

I am not sure of the dates but Mr Price was invited and accepted our invitation to join DAV Chapter 6’s monthly meeting. He did in fact come to see us twice.

As for the option outlawing the water torture, I would have voted against it also. It would require the members of our armed forces to tie their other arm behind thier back. I doubt very few of you have ever served in the armed forces. You let the real American Hero’s do the dirty work. Then you run around crying foul and bring them home and hang them, OR so that you can do what the peaceniks did to us when WE returned home from VietNan…spit in thier faces. How many of you have read the Koran. It requires muslims to try to convert you or KILL YOU.

Every time I hear your whines and accuations it turns my stomach.

The young men and ladies who are volunteering to serve in the armed forces are proving that they are far more patriotic than most of you will ever understand. They will be the “NEXT GREATEST GENERATION!

I hope they will say “shame on you” or as one of my former Commanding Officer’s said, ” DOOM ON YOU!” BUT ….No they wont, they are the future of this GREAT Country.

At least I know that they will SERVE,LOVE and PRESERVE the AMERICAN WAY.
