Let’s see -—

That’s Congressman Patrick Murphy, Kelly Dougherty, John Soltz and Herold Noel.

I wish I knew how to look up these people’s records.

University students absolutely drool over these tales of horror. They love them. It’s such a big thrill to pretend to be a soldier in combat.

I hope they are all phony.

Yeah, I just heard Rush say that Jesse Macbeth’s birth name was Jesse al-Zaid.

America is in real trouble.

Soldier Censored at Kos Convention
PJM LA
August 5, 2007 5:52 PM

Fireworks broke out at a Friday morning session of the second day of the YearlyKos Convention titled “The Military and Progressives: Are They Really That Different?”. An as yet unidentified uniformed soldier attempted to address the panel on the subject of the “Surge”. He was unceremoniously escorted out by panelist Jon Soltz.

The soldier’s words were either suppressed or inaudible on the convention’s own video. They can be heard here on this exclusive PJM Video by Andrew Marcus, who also interviews the soldier and tries to interview Soltz.

What a disgusting thing to do.

Why aren’t parents and ex-military families marching outside of this moonbat school demanding this crap be stopped, and the moonbat instructor fired for this atrocious defamation of our military?

This Democrat sponsored BS has to stop.

I heard the same thing and did a double take. An internet search nets a bunch of references to that fact.

I saw the video a while back. Jon Soltz is a real prick. And he didn’t serve but 4 months in Iraq and was not in any combat while there. He was a dek jockey.

What he did to that soldier at the convention was disgusting.

recalled senior Ethan Haymes, 22. “But one thing that I really admired about both of my characters is that they were both men of action - Army Capt. Jon Soltz and Patrick Murphy, who’s now a congressman.


Is that the same Soltz that shouted down a Army Sergeant at the ‘daily kooz” festival a month or so back? If so, no wonder these stories are all made up!

This actually sounds reasonably balanced to me (though obviously the article doesn’t tell us the whole content of the performance). But there’s not a word here implying evil intent on the part of the soldiers. And we’d all do well to remember that many soldiers do come home having experienced things that leave them psychologically fragile. They were doing their best in a horrible situation and they’ll carry the after-effects for the rest of their lives.

Here’s a brief story about Herold Noel, with links to a lot of others. I see nothing wrong with these kids telling his story. He’s certainly no anti-war activist.

It’s described as an accident, unavoidable given the circumstances, and having left the soldier with nightmares. Hardly suggests that our soldiers are out there deilberately killing babies and not giving a crap about it. Herold Noel is a real soldier, who has encountered the same poor treatment as many others upon arriving home, and still believes that serving in the military in a war like this one is a good thing. If these college kids wanted to put on a totally biased anti-war show, they’d have made different choices of soldiers — it’s not all that hard to round up some Iraq vets who want to rant against the war and the Bush Administration, but that’s not what was done here.

http://www.gnn.tv/articles/article.php?id=1054Despite everything, Noel says he would enlist again.
“I’m always going to be a soldier. I’m going to speak so my country can be a better country. I’m not bashing the military – but if you want people to protect this country, you have to protect them.”

Freepers need to pool their smarts and start something called “TRUTH MATTERS”!!! These people’s backgrounds need to be looked into!
