Time for the left to revisit
what they think they mean when they say "we support the troops."
From an Army journalist in the comments section here:
Way to go lefties.
The blog post itself is a triumphal expose that one of the soldiers, a 1LT Murphy from the 278th cav, Tennessee Army National Guard, is personally pro-Bush.
So I don't get it. If he's personnally pro-Bush, and has a track record of being pro-Bush and pro-Iraqi, then that pretty much undercuts all the Democratic Underground speculation that what he has to say has been scripted. Why should you have to script someone who you already know is articulate and will agree with you anyway.
These knuckleheads don't know what they're arguing anymore.
If a soldier from the teleconference is found to have been anti-Bush in the past, the left will jump on it as evidence of scripting. If one of the soldiers has been pro-Bush in the past, it's still evidence of scripting.
What morons.
Oh, by the way, apparently, us troops are just "marionettes."
From my correspondent at The Right Side of History:
Well, pal, you seriously need to get out more.
The fact is that the entire logic of his argument relies on calling U.S. soldiers liars or stooges. That is the only thing he's got going. And it's based on sheer speculation.
Why? Because of the three soldiers who have gone public so far, all three have come out to say they were not scripted, that the ideas expressed were their own. None have come out to say they were inordinately pressured.
Soldiers have some restrictions on publicly criticizing military authority. But when the president asks you a question, the standing order is to give it to him straight, without fear or favor.
The Standing Orders of Rogers' Rangers - still read and memorized by infantrymen to this day - says "Lie all you want to other people about the Ranger. But don't never lie to another Ranger or an officer."
None of us are going to lie to the President. However much this guy wants it to be the case.
When did the Left decide that the way to support troops was to infantilize them?
Splash, out

From an Army journalist in the comments section here:
I go outside the wire all the time. And it's not nearly as bad as you guys are led to believe. The worst thing about it? Feeling like the American public cares nothing for you, that all you are to most people is another number to blame someone for.

From my correspondent at The Right Side of History:
My comments and/or criticisms in this sorry episode are not directed at the troops at all. I could see why a military man like yourself might take what I said that way but the reality is they’re just doing their jobs. Attacking these soldiers would be like blaming the marionette for the dialogue. If they were “sincere” or not is beside the point. You can not possibly be suggesting that these particular soldiers could have said anything they wanted to say. I simply don’t believe it.
After all, doesn’t “G.I.” stand for “Government Issue?”

When the troops started saying things that cast doubt on the portrait of doom and gloom the left paints.

Here's some news form the "home front": A majority (53%) of Americans now realize that invading Iraq was the wrong thing to do, while only 34% still think it was right to invade a country that was doing nothing to provoke America. So not only has support for the war evaporated (that has been the case for a while now), now most Americans even can see what the rest of the world has known all along, that it was totally WRONG.

Far from being feared or respected, the U.S. "military" is the world's laughingstock as it hides in shellholes and calls in air support every time it encounters a handful of poorly-armed Rebels. The world says, "What a bunch of cowards".
You are risking your life for NOTHING. If you die it will be for NOTHING, a meaningless death.
In other news, two-thirds of Americans say America as a country is headed in the wrong direction and a similar number say your boss Bush is doing a pisspoor job. Hang it up. Go home.

Aloha Blogger, I'm in Hawaiian mood as I'm listening to Ki ho'alu music (If you've not heared this type of guitar music then you are in for a treat!) so I'm not really concentrating very hard but I came across ##TITlE## looking up gen on shared hosting plan. Anything to do with shared hosting plan I always look at, though I do have a tendency to wander about in blogs just reading generally.

G'day Blogger, what a great blog you have here, been entertained by the read. Just noticed that my brief time visiting blogs looking for frontpage web hosting items has run into a couple of hours. Easily done when you get engrossed in what people write about. I should really use frontpage web hosting as a search term but then I might miss places such as this post. Besides which working all the time is boring.

Hi Blogger, oh dear, I'm getting square eyed here - must have been spending too much time reading blogs and frontpage web hosting information. I'm supposed to be looking for frontpage web hosting items but I find it all too easy just to click 'Next' and just see anything which is how I came to this post. Some blogs I just skip through but I spent a while here. Ciao.

Hello Blogger, there's so much written about imageshack hosting that I'm getting quite quite depressed how to sort it all out and decide what is good and what is not. Your this post has been better than most and now perhaps I can make more use of imageshack hosting.

I really must say this is the best blog I have ever come across in a very long time. I am not just saying that either! I am studying for my associates degrees and spent the last 5 hours (and 12 cups of java) researching this area topic. Many blogs have very generic information but yours is very different. I can actually apply some of this information to my associate studies. No worries I will give you full credit in my references section.(I will even give you a link in my blog!) I took it upon myself to add you to my favorites and will visit back to let you know how my grade ends up. Thanks so much from!design hosting prestonswebhosting.com web web.

I wonder if anyone will ever truly believe that they can find out what started life on this planet and the origin of it. I mean, it is almost as abstract as opening your browser and venturing to find out something as random as Canadian internet domain hosting and not even knowing a thing about it. And then actually learning about it, the root of what started it. You know?
