Please, I tell you and my fellow Americans to turn off the TV sets and move on with your lives. The story line you are getting from CNN and other news agencies is utter bullsh-- and designed not to deliver truth but rather to keep you glued to the screen through the commercials. We've got this one under control. The worst thing you guys can do right now is sit around analyzing what we're doing over here, because you have no idea what we're doing, and really, you don't want to know. We are your military, and we are doing what you sent us here to do.

I shut off my teevee service a few months back. Don't miss it at all.

Semper fi to one bad a$$ Marine.

I’m glad to see that Force Recon has not mellowed or toned down their fighting spirit in 50 years. Although, truth be said, Force Recon guys I knew would have spelled out those curse words.

I never bought into the media reports from Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe that’s because I have family who have served in both places and their letters look a lot like this guy’s letter. They deserve nothing but our respect.

The cable company begged me but it is gone. Just remember folkks - your cable or sat TV bill allocates aorund a dollar or less to channels like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, et al - you get the picture.

Keep paying for and watching TV if you want to be a serf and dhimini slave to Islam.

Fox is trying but they are partially owned by the Saudis. The largest exporters and funders of jihad who want your kids to be their slaves.

Sorry.. But I have read this story over the years and each long thread ends with the conclusion this is a hoax.
