MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A group of soldiers in the Minnesota National Guard is behind a comically misspelled sign mocking comments by Senator John Kerry about people who didn't study in school being "stuck in Iraq."
It shows eight soldiers holding a white sign spelling out, "Halp us Jon Carry - We R stuck hear n Irak." All but three of the words are misspelled
The photo has appeared in numerous newspapers, T-V newscasts and Web sites.
It includes the "Red Bull" mascot of the Minnesota National Guard's 34th Infantry Division, which has troops from five states.
The photo caught the eye of the White House. Spokesman Tony Snow told W-D-A-Y Radio of Fargo the photo is "wonderful and shows a great sense of humor."
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty says he proud of the soldiers. He says it proves that troops overseas are paying attention to what's being said back home.

Sure hope these wonderful Soldiers don't get court-martialed. Believe me, there are those in the `system' who would will it so.
But imagine the firestorm if it does happen!
Anyway, that sign was the perfect squelch! sKerry's staffers must be screaming for an investigation even as we speak!

The picture has not been printed in many papers that is the problem. Not even the Red Star in Mn. Has printed this.

There are many reasons to vote against the Democrats next Tuesday, but the overriding one is to not let these guys down by turning command of their government over to a party that has contempt for them and will sell them down the river the first chance they get.

From what I've been able to determine, there appears to be two females in the photo. Their ranks appear to be a 1Lt., an E-8, two E-4s and two Majors. Works for me!!!! I love our military. Hanoi Boi Kerry sucks!!!!
