Our soldiers in Iraq aren't heroes (But Andy Rooney is! (not))

[Peter J. Huss]

What a dick.

[Peter J. Huss]

You are too kind. How about this: Andy Rooney = Falluja Rose.

[The South Texan]

Give the old Looney one a break. He is only reflecting what others in the lamestream media think about our men as well.

Andy, it doesn't matter what the troops "feel" about being in Iraq. They are under orders. Roody is a first class a*shole

Psalms 31:18 - Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

Lord shut the mouth of this lying demon from the pit of hell!!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

I'm starting to think Andy's just plain evil.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Our soldiers in Iraq aren't heroes.

Not to people like Rooney, whose heroes are probably Mao and Stalin.

I can not believe what I just read..

This guy is pathetic.

4. If you could have a medal or a trip home, which would you take?

That question is a canard. No soldier (except an absolute fool), no matter how just he thought the war he was fighting was, would choose a medal over a trip home. Rooney knows that. What a POS!

As for the lack of Earnie Pyles, there are lots of journalists that have been trying to tell the "real" story about the great things the troops are doing for the Iraqi people, but the networks won't run them and the papers won't print them because they aren't juicy enough and don't support the line they're selling.

The media elite is open warfare against everything American. They don't even try to hide it any more.

Hey Andy....blow it out your a--!

[Peter J. Huss]

We pin medals on their chests to keep them going.

No, those medals and ribbons are earned, sometimes at the expense of personal fortunes, life and limb.

I would not be surprised is Roony has to go into hiding after this.

I'm starting to think Andy's just plain evil.

Just old, crotchety, in the early first stage of dementia. The affected sheep dog look (the overly long eye brows) is starting to wear thin as well ...

[Dog]

This is a stunner.......the hatred is just dripping from every word.

I can not believe what I just read..

Precisely. Or anything else you hear on the network *news* broadcasts, either.

A young ROTC student of my acquaintance who's a broadcast nes major has gotten immersed in the TV news business, and is horrified to have learned that less than 50% of the stories with whom that reporter has had personal contact with were reported factually or completely. Less than half. I am rarely inclined to suggest to a broadcast journalist that they go into my old print journalism line, where things aren't much better and which is a dying business. But this may be a notable exception, and I suspect we'd gain a pretty good ink-stained wretch to add to our numbers. But you are exactly correct. You cannot, and should not, believe it,

[BlueNgold]

His disdain for the military and desire to subvert military discipline is generic, not specific. That much is very clear from this article...

[blackie]

Hey Andy ~ you are a senile old traitor!

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!
