I respect your family history and nothing you say will change that.

With that being said, you are way off base. This is about turn seals, not about you.

Its in the press (and not just the MSM). All you have to do is look.

Is this the same press that lies about 99.9% of everything they say? Gee

You don’t know any of the “FACTS” or were you there?

Just a minor comment. “Elite of the elite” is extremely relative to the one making the assertion. Green Berets, Rangers, Force Recon and pretty much every guy in Delta Force is just as elite as any SEAL. And this deification of them is disturbing. I have known a few in my day and they dont all speak 5 languages, dodge bullets matrix-style, and leap tall buildings. Some of them drink too much beer. Some smoke too much. And they certainly are not above temptation. One SEAL was kicked out a few years ago for stealing a knife (search FR). Another was bounced out for disrespecting a superior officer.

That said, I do believe these particular SEALs are getting the raw end of the deal.

Navy Seals captures the most wanted terrorist in Iraq and gives him a bloody lip. I tell that is just horrible.

Are we there to win this war or not!

Giving the bad guys what’s coming is not what this is about. Of course we are there win. And winning we are doing. To suggest otherwise is UNPATRIOTIC, Kempo!.

Unbelievable. SEALs are caught being turds and everyone on Free Republic is right there defending them...because they are...”seals.” Anyone who defends these guys should really examine their values

The finding of guilt is for their board. Facts are facts. You demonstrate the way of the Bolshevik with your post (and your “frogginess”)..

In your prior post you called them turds, Why did you find it necessary to call them names? Do you have a background or significant research and study in fecal material?

As to your Bolshevik comment, you may want to take some time and read “The Black Book of Communism” it may provide you with some clarity(it is 800 pages with very few pictures) as to what they did.

Lastly as to my froggieness, in a former life I flew CH-46’s in the Marines, they were nicknamed “phrog’s”

There is no need to be mean here.

Firstly, thank you for correcting my grammer when quoting me.

Secondly, It is appropriate in this case despite the pr campaign, and, no.

Thirdly, I have plenty on my bookshelf re this topic...because its what we may be fighting in the next three to five years.

Fourthly, fantastic.

Lastly, I agree. The CH-46 is thin-skinned.
