Having grown up in a military family and having spent 10 years active duty, to include fighting in another unpopular war, I can identity with the young man, now in uniform and fighting for all of this Republic, left and right.

That is his sworn duty! We didn't wear our politics on our sleeves while actively serving ... only our stripes, both rank and tours in combat.

The Republic never wanted and should never want a Military with active political agenda.

And I don't mind saying we should never engage any of our brave "truly patriotic" citizens to battle without the goal of winning, in the shortest period of time, with the shortest cost, both in lives and capital.

I could get on a real rant now about the prosecution of this vital "WAR", but it wouldn't serve any purpose.

Please don't be so judgmental of the "Real Patriots"!

he is pretending to speak for the soldiers in Iraq. Considering how many folks I know serving right now, he is demonstrably lying.

I know exactly how the majority of troops feel about John Murtha, Pelosi and co.
