I think you just did. ; )
Unit Citation?
Some politically correct moron general will probably be court martialing them and when the Democrats take over the Senate they will block every promotion for the officers of the Minnesota Guard.
This story WAS carried in the MN Star.
Picture Soldiers Father Writes to Powerline! MOST PERFECT!
UPDATE: Reader David Ward writes:
Thank you for your great work and especially the coverage of the picture of the soldiers mocking "Jon Carry."
My daughter is on the far right in the picture. We spoke to her last night and again this morning. They are quite astounded at the coverage. They were furious at Kerry's remarks and wanted to do something. I guess they did.
Yours truly,
David Ward
To me, this picture was a stroke of genius by these folks. Without speaking a word, they managed to make Kerry look like the cowardly, mega-fool that he is. These are my kind of soldiers. America's best. They don't come any better.
Thank you for the two links. Very interesting reading. Thanks again!
But of course that's not really true, isn't it? These people are, according to Kerry, just supposed to be dumb, stupid high school dropouts, burnouts, etc. Only that several of them are either college graduates or have at least several college credits under their belt(s). Kerry was attempting to pander to the young college "hip" leftie crowd with his statement and he failed miserably. .... and lucky for all of us, was caught on tape trying to do so. Free speech does indeed sometimes mean its easier to spot the liars and frauds.
I'm doing a search for the link I posted at Post 29. If I don't find it elsewhere on FR, I'm going to create a new special post for it all its own. This guy Charlie Sykes, a radio personality with WTMJ out of Milwaukee, has been all over this story re: the wonderful troops who got angry at Kerry and did something about it. Little did they know that their photo would indeed say a thousand words... and then some. It's certainly spawned a lot more than that in the subsequent media coverage. Gotta love it!
Maestro,...I say "Right On"!
And all this time I've been under the impression that Minnesotans were a bunch of dour, humorless, no-fun types of people!
My stereotype of you folks has flipped 180 degrees.
It was a creative, appropriate and funny-as-hell prank!
I salute you!
I was on the road when I heard about this picture on Rush or Hannity. I couldn't wait to get home. I found the picture, downloaded it and emailed it to everyone I know. Like somebody said, it should be awarded a Pulitizer. Unfortunatly, the people who give out that "award" won't find it funny. They are probably "outraged" by it.
They wouldn't do it openly.
If any of those Soldiers in that picture were to face punitive action, word would get out through the blogosphere, and then a sympathetic member of Congress or the New Media would bring fire to bear. Names would be named.
The light of truth would be shined.
F'n eh.
I know the brass said these soldiers can't speak to the media about The Sign,
but heck,
they oughta send them home for a pro-war victory lap the way the military did in WW II, to stir up the efforts at home to support the war.
