Another day, another attack and another life lost. Wonder if Rummy will be playing a little golf at the country club this week-end.

Isn't that one of those liberal "for the children" arguments? Whatever works for you I guess.

Serving in the military has its place but it surely isn't for everyone. Just ask most senior members of the administration.

"Richard W."

As opposed to one of those liberal-tarian "Bush is always wrong" arguments?

I'm a taxpaying citizen and until they take away free speech and the right to voice an opinion, I have as much input as the next guy. The ruling class elite rarely bother themselves with serving in the military (and for good reason I might add) and if it's good enough for them, . . . well.

Ask who? Bush (Texas National Guard pilot)? Rumsfeld (Navy pilot)?

The problem is that there are too many selfish people (like you)that have that same shitty attitude! If the defense of the Republic were left to you we would have been Communists 30 years ago!

Alas, I'm neither a defense contractor nor a representitive of a reconstruction company, so I doubt that he would be interested. I'll be on the public links with my fellow serfs.

Wonder if some pathetic piece of crap will stumble onto this thread spewing idiotic, thoughtless comments?

Oops. I had to look no further than Post #2.

You're right. Even classless cowards have the right to spew venom. But you're so low, so disgraceful, you have to spread your anger and cowardice on a thread reporting the death of someone so far above any level you could ever hope to achieve. This man fought and died for our freedom.

Yet a piece of filth like you not only chooses not to recognize that sacrifice, but doesn't even have the class to take his hate-filled garbage to another thread.

Good for you! I'll be doing the same, once again. It's nice to know we're contributing in some small way to those truly contributing in a very significant manner.

Actually, I never said the troops weren't doing a good job given the situation they are in.
