I'm afraid the bottom line is that the movers and shakers in talk radio and the blogosphere just don't care as much about our warriors downrange as they do about immigration, and neither do their audiences, or what you are calling for would be in progress at this moment.
"Our base" is too fragmented to cover anybody's flanks.
I'm winning my part of the war. Everybody around me is winning their part. Great things are being done out here, but few of our countrymen know about them, and fewer care, and way too many think it is "helpful" to hate on the Commander-in-Chief and think of us as "victims" who need to be "rescued" by being brought home before the job is finished.
I'd be depressed, but I just came back from a great R&R.
Back stateside I'm going to do all I can to light a fire under peoples as$s and make them care - Our base better d*mn well stand firm and keep the same intensity on DC....Or they are shameful (fragmented or not, shameful if we don't rally at this point and time)..
Best regards,
Well said! And I have gotten so VERY tired of it. There are times I honestly wonder if I have accidentally taken a left on the information highway and ended up at DU.
We on our mission are winning our part of the war. I don't know one single military member over here who supports that cut-and-run crap.
We do not want the wobbly, the uninformed, the agenda-driven and the terrorist supporters speaking for us. We'd rather they get out of our way and let us finish this thing.
And frankly, that's what sucks the MOST about the BS that the media is consistently laying out. GRRRRR!
Being able to check some real Press Releases helps to remain positive;

Some of my Democrat supporting aquaintances can’t believe I know so much about what is actually going on.
It is sad Politicians can’t support the
Troops who are currently going into these neighborhoods and developing relationships with Iraqi’s, to purge the enemy.
Don’t get me started. I expected more from Freepers.......
