A Soldier's Father Speaks Out

A gentleman from Virginia, proud parent of a decorated Army officer serving in Iraq, writes to us, "I am so fed up with the anti-American propaganda coming from some Americans that I wrote the open letter below. I will appreciate it very much if you include it": [text of letter follows]

An open letter to some political partisans, especially certain politicians and people in the media: I have a son who is an American soldier in Iraq.

I care very much about what affects him and his comrades in arms.

I am not fooled, when you partisans spew propaganda that helps our enemies and harms our soldiers, then tell us you support our troops.

I am not fooled, when you focus on, highlight, and exaggerate the negative things that happen in Iraq, while ignoring our positive accomplishments, then tell us you support our troops.

I am not fooled, when you focus attention on American soldiers killed and wounded in Iraq, to use these brave patriots as an anti-Iraq-war political football, then tell us you support our troops.

I am not fooled, when you keep criticizing why and how we invaded Iraq - that is done; our troops are there - then tell us you support our troops.

I am not fooled, when you engage in constant, carping criticism of what the U.S. has done and is doing in Iraq, then tell us you support our troops.

I am not fooled, when you search for and trumpet to the world anything that will diminish respect for our soldiers and their leaders - even when it endangers greatly their lives, then tell us you support our troops.

I am not fooled, when you tell our soldiers and the rest of us that they are stuck in a "quagmire" and will suffer a Vietnam-type defeat, then tell us you support our troops.

I am not fooled, when you spout propaganda that undermines the morale of our soldiers and the American public and boosts the morale of our enemies, then tell us you support our troops.

You are giving aid and comfort to our nation's deadly enemies! They know they cannot defeat us militarily in Iraq. However, you cause them to think they can win here politically by breaking our will, if they kill and wound enough of our soldiers.

You despicable partisans! You are stimulating our enemies to attack our soldiers and the people working with them. The blood of many Americans and Iraqis is already on your hands. And your hands collect more blood every day!

You are determined to regain the political power you have lost, and you believe your presidential candidate and congressional candidates will win, if the U.S. fails in Iraq.

If your anti-American propaganda contributes to the deaths of many Americans and Iraqis, that is a price you are willing to make them pay. You are pathetic and dangerous!

I am not fooled, when you contemptible politicians and other political partisans, including many in the media, tell us you support our troops. I know that is a lie!

I am not fooled, when you claim spreading your pernicious, divisive, anti-American venom makes you patriotic. I know it does not - and I know you are not!

Please thank your sons from a grateful civilian, and let them know we are working to get the truth out - about their courage, and their mission in Iraq.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

...or daughters. (^:

(Good job, dad.)

[bluewater bird]

Excellent!! BTTT

[CharacterCounts]

My daughter is in Iraq right now and is sick of what is being reported and not reported.

The dumbest line she hears in the media is "Why are we in Iraq?"

She knows why she's in Iraq. It's better to be fighting the battles over there than in the streets of Manhattan.

[McGavin999]

Excellent, this should be published in the Washington Times. I'd love to have this shoved in the faces of those pols.

[Ciexyz]

Amen, brothers and sisters.

[anniegetyourgun]

Wow...what a letter. This man is not fooled, but he sure knows fools in congress & the media when he sees 'em.

[AgThorn]

son's both, but if daughters I would be just as proud. God bless our soldiers still over there!!

[Ciexyz]

Are the Democrats and the world socialist-liberals going to force the US to cut and run from Iraq, just like they did in the first Gulf War?

[Tunehead54]

Ping! RC saved me the trouble!

Thanks RC - Zip and I were looking for the original to post! Bump for the truth. :-)

[just me]

I hope not, it could cost the President votes.
Here is an interesting link to an good article. and could explain some of our problems over there.

I'm not looking forward to all these televised court martial proceedings. It's like the Kobe Bryant trial -- it will live forever on every network.

[Redpower]

Democrats somehow confuse criticsim with 'censorship'. And Republicans somehow confuse it with disloyalty.

[just me]

You have mail

Roger That ~ Bump!

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

~~ Bush/Cheney 2004 ~~

[Chinese_American_Patriot]

A letter from an informed, concerned patriot. The only way to stop this vile rethoric from lying phonies like Byrd, Kennedy, Kerry, Rooney, and all the other Demoncraps & RINOs is to force them to step down as politicians.

[yoe]

AgThorn, I thank you and I thank your sons. They have been added to my prayer list; please tell them America is not what the media would have us believe, that many of us write, phone, fax and e-mail daily to remind those anti-Americans that their hate-America hypocritical rhetoric is aiding the enemy, not their country. We support our Troops and our President and our country.

God Bless you and yours.

[BushisTheMan]

I was thinking the same thing.

However, I think we need to focus on ONE congress critter at a time each day and direct ALL our e-mails with the same type of comment: You are hurting our troops!

Or maybe pick CBS and have a daily e-mail in about their GHOUL TV reports. CBS abviously hates our troops.

[11Bush]

Followed by a nice firing squad made up of MARINES!

I admire all jar-heads, but this old ARMY infantryman would like to be included.
