Just to set you straight on my bona fides, I served in Grenada, Panama, and the Gulf War. I was decorated for valor in two of them. I finally took a round in Iraq, which earned me a purple heart. I have more metal holding my spine together than you have in your thankless Euro crap car. Let's not forget the piece of shrapnel that I still carry around in my chest that I have the explain every time I go to the airport. But every morning I grit my teeth, peel myself out of bed, and run my own business. Reading the thread that followed my short remarks, its easy to see why any and all words of support and encouragement are needed for our troops who daily put their very lives on the line to fight the good fight for people back home, even if some of those people are the most craven of cowards. I can't remember the last time I have seen such a load of whining, sniveling, short sighted, crap. A soldier's job is to do what he is told. When his face is in the dirt and the guy who used to sleep two racks over from him is dead, he doesn't have the luxury of your pathetic Monday morning quarterback stategic critique. His job and natural drive is to kill whoever is trying to kill him. If you are so against war and violence, why are you even playing this kind of game? I'll tell you why. It's because you don't carry the gear to do the real job. It would be very beneficial if you at least supported the men and WOMEN who have the balls you don't. I expect in this century the U.S. will be asked yet again to help Europe extricate itself from yet another occupation, this time by the Islamic Reich. Just look around you. Watch the news. The "Enemy Within" or "5th Column" or whatever you want to call it is already bubbling up. I don't expect that it will be worth one single drop of American blood. You people have struck rock bottom and continued to dig. The only thing we should do is collect up all the sniveling, bed wetting, self hating Americans, strap them to pallets and randomly LAPES them into France/Holland (same thing) where they will be more at home. Maybe it would be better if we just pulled our troops out of Iraq right now so that in 5-7-10 years this thing will be settled on the streets of Amsterdam or Groningen or Paris. 'nough said. I'm out.

Well all I can say is that I'm glad it's people like him that are over there in Iraq fighting right now. All the people that think for themselves are back in the states realizing what a fool Bush is while people like Cricket are over there "to do what they're told."

Bush: Go find those WMD's soldier!

Dumbass soldier: Yessir, whatever you say sir!

Public/civilians: WTF there are none you idiot. Even more importantly you just showed the world what a fucking idiot the US is for electing such a dumbass president who ignores allies and launches wars for reasons that weren't even proved.
