"Dissension in the Ranks" (60 Minutes hit piece)

To many in America's armed forces, these men and women are doing the unthinkable: Active-duty soldiers, sailors and Marines speaking out against the ongoing conflict in Iraq. They've signed on to what's called "An Appeal for Redress" - and they say it's time for U.S. troops to come home. Lara Logan has the story.

Interesing, this "organization" was started by some Navy guy in the middle of the ocean (hey I was a former squid myself). Others, who knows, maybe one of the group interviewed actually saw combat or was in iraq. The best video is fourth from the left, under "Web Exclusive," in which the hot babe reporter tries to goad the soldiers into saying something negative but doesn't succeed.

I didn't see the story because I don't watch 60 minutes or CBS, but I heard about it. I wonder why 60 minutes never bothers to interview the OTHER 99.99% of our men and women in uniform who are serving and have served in Afghanistan and Iraq.

That would be honest and fair, something CBS & 60 minutes are not capable of. Silly me. WHAT was I THINKING?

Naval Petty Officer Jonathan Hutto is a left wing jerkweed and leader of this so called movement.

Rebuilding the GI Movement (Jonathan W. Hutto 60Minutes-Drudge)

Military personnel speaking out?....

"..The sum total of Hutto's experiences of Iraq is one six month tour in the Persian Gulf taking photographs aboard the Theodore Roosevelt..."

Sounds like "Rather" has sneaked back onto the set, doesn't it?

The American Government owes Axis Sally an apology for convicting her of treason while letting Jane Fonda, Michael Moore, and SeeBS Viacommie walk free.

These idiots are upset because they don't have their nice, cushy, little 9 to 5 jobs like they did under Clinton. They are finding out what the military's real job is and they don't like it! All these idiots should get a General Discharge---just get rid of them---and to h*ll with their so-called careers.

A few John Kerry wanna- be's does not a "organization" make. I wouldn't be at all surprised if these Democrat party rope climbers join the Army and Navy specifically to advance/announce their political careers like John Kerry was advised to by his Kennedy friends.

We have ALL heard about the "MAJORITY" of active duty troops signing the Appeal for Redress FROM the war.
http://www.appealforredress.org
The "majority" that have managed to garner 1577 (1417 at 1:00 today) signatures since September.

Who is behind the marketing of this "appeal" you ask? None other than Move On.org and Fenton Communications.


There is also a group of courageous men and women putting their names on an Appeal For Redress in SUPPORT of our mission in Iraq.
http://www.appealforcourage.org

The Appeal began two weeks ago today, Monday February 12. At this moment 1197 have already signed. Friday at 3:00 AM there were 860 signers.

Word of this Appeal is being spread by individuals and the Military Families Voice of Victory,
http://mfvov.com/
and newly added Vets for Freedom,

I'm with you, 60 Minutes is not a program I watch, nor is CBS, and I firmly believe 99.99% of our brave men and women in the military do not feel this way. It fits the CBS/MSM agenda to feature those who do.

God bless the United States military and their families!

The MSM and DNC are fearing that we may very well succeed in Iraq.....this is scaring the living $h!t out of them....

Unfortunately, this is only the beginning....they are going to do everything in their power to see to it that Iraq fails....they want a repeat of Vietnam in the worst way....regardless of what that means to our country....

Prepare yourself....we haven't seen anything yet....
