Well said, bwteim! The flaming of Dominic Harr is quite uncalled for.
Nah, I'd feel unloved if no one flamed me!
Altho I do prefer flames to be funny . . .
"The flaming of Dominic Harr"
Sounds either like a recipe from the Food Channel or an Irving Stone novel;)
But thanks, I was just trying to get the discussion back to his basic point, that is the Cut and Run Crowd will continue to tally the latest casualties as 'evidence' that the war is un-winnable, and that unfortunately their voices come through loud and clear too often on the Tokyo Rose channels of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc.
I think he is quite fortunate to get off so easy.
I was down at Walter Reed this past summer with the Washington DC chapter of Free Republic, and I doubt that a single person outside on the sidewalk or inside in the beds would agree with this jerkoff's characterization of combat in the Middle East as a "Cake Walk".
If any combat veteran wants to make that characterization, it is their right that they earned to voice it. They may be right or wrong, but they can say it without fear of being called on the carpet for it.
If some guy who hasn't had an angry bullet at him in his life wants to make that characterization, he better be able to offer some real world experience to back it up, because those people who HAVE done it ARE going to take exception.
I would love to see him make this claim on the sidewalk outside Walter Reed, when the soldiers stop by to chat with the Freepers out there.
