I agree with you 100% Brother!

[Long Cut]

Thanks, Tonk. This has been devastating to us. I've rarely seen morale this low.

Tell a few others, willya? I've seen some not-so-intelligent things here the past few days.

Excellent and well thought out post. I hope those who think this was a fraternity prank read it as well as the DOD report linked from Fox and MSNBC.

[Poohbah]

Preach it, brother!

"Like it or not, the press has been on a hunt for another Me Lai since the start of the war."

The big 5 liberal media and Hanoi Kerry

I'm trying. Articles like this, and the response they generate, do not help much.

[Poohbah]

I'm starting to become convinced that over 50% of my fellow human beings are bigtime meatheads...

[Long Cut]

Yep. And now they've got one. Courtesy of a bunch of brutal slobs and their commanders who never should've been within spitting distance of their commissions.

When the President himself comes out and says that he's disgusted by it, YOU KNOW the private conversations he's having with the Joint Chiefs and Sec Def are real one-sided. I bet he looked Secretary Rumsfeld in the eye and said, "I want stars, on my desk, soonest. (pounds desk) I want somebody's B**LS, NOW!". The only thing that you can say to that is, "YES, SIR!"

"This has been devastating to us. I've rarely seen morale this low."

The media has played this over and over and over.
Then Hanoi Kerry jumped in and opened his traitor mouth.
Yet none of the big 5 liberal media dared show the Press Conference about his time in Viet Nam.
Just like in my time, your time also has to deal with the media.
When was the last time you saw a good story about the military in Iraq or Afghanistan on the big 5 liberal media?

bump!

I really have to believe that they are well-intentioned, but their support is misplaced. It's not disloyal or bad to condemn disgraceful acts, without reservation. It doesn't mean you don't support the war or the troops.

[Long Cut]

I doubt seriously I ever will. We've all come to expect it, though. It's one of the things that keeps us to high standards of conduct.

The jokers at that prison gave the Left a perfect club to bash us all with. And they will.

Odd, isn't it? The level of "revulsion" in the world to the acts of a few out-of-control US soldiers. I will not mitigate their crimes: I expect, after a proper investigation, the offending soldiers will be sent to prison for a VERY long time IAW UCMJ, not CNN. I hold them in contempt and disgust, bottom line. But that is the difference, we punish these criminals, our enemies do not.

That said, I am wondering where the world's "revulsion" was during 9-11 when Arabs and Palastinians were dancing in the streets. I wonder where it was when our soldiers were dragged throught the streets in Somalia. I am wondering where it is every time a homicide bomber attacks women and children in Isreal. Where was it when 4 civilians were mutilated, burned and hung in Iraq? Where was it when Arabic terrorists tried to kill 80,000 in Jordan last month?

So, Mr, Mrs, (and whatever I missed) World, excuse me if I can't show the "universal revulsion" the world socialists, tyrants, terrorists and leftists show now, but seem to forget about when the atrocities happen to Americans or Isrealies.

Let the military justice system work. And Jonny Kerry better stay far away from this topic since I feel it is my duty to arrest him for war crimes he admitted to and throw him in the same prison these soldiers will go to (though he is also guilty of sedition, aiding and abbetting a hostile power, being a member of a group reported to advance the ideas of killing US leadership, etc...charges that will never see court, but should).

"Again, I say uniformed combatants. No uniform, no rules. That's the Geneva Convention"

A Prisoner of War (PW) is defined as enemy personnel - in or out of uniform who carry arms openly.

EXCELLENT

[Darksheare]
