Dear Traitors

A soldier addresses the fifth column;

From an officer who’s in Iraq now and many of the soldiers serving with him, you are no better than Vietnam Veterans Against the War, undermining the war effort and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Not everything goes according to planned in war, but there are more successes here than failures. Maybe things have changed since you left. Be that as it may, you took the comments by Rush Limbaugh completely out of context. If you had listened to the feed or read the transcript, you would know he was referring to “CPL MacBeth” and others like him who pretend to have served but never left boot camp, and certainly never served in Iraq. I signed up after 9-11 at age 30 with my education completed and volunteered to come over on this Embedded Provincial Reconstruction Team mission, despite having 3 children, my son only 21 old months before I left. Mistakes notwithstanding, you are clueless concerning the importance of this war and the implications of withdrawal. You are also clueless concerning the threat from Iran, and your posture endangers the future of my children. What would your philosophy have been in WWII against the Nazis and Japanese, with 400,000+ dead and many more wounded? You should all be ashamed of yourselves, especially if you’re on the take, i.e. how much is George Soros paying you? My wife is a Navy veteran of 10 years, enlisted, and she’s equally disgusted with you. Here’s to your failure as “real soldiers” but lacking Army values. L’chaim.

Returning soldiers gunning for Democrats

For the left, the Iraq war nightmare is still yet to come.

During the 2002 elections, Democrats became what Ann Coulter, in her book How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), colorfully called "jock-sniffers for war veterans." First among these vets was Senator Max Cleland, Democrat from Georgia. In an election cycle that was---in spite of what some push-pollers tried to engineer---NOT looking good for Democrats, they needed all the help they could get. Holding on to Cleland's seat in the heart of the once-reliably Democratic South was crucial.

Go, read it all.

Go Tropic Lightning.

On January 6, 1942, about one month after the United States entered WWII, FDR gave the State of the Union speech before a joint session of Congress. He ended his speech with the following words:

"Our enemies are guided by brutal cynicism, by unholy contempt for the human race. We are inspired by a faith which goes back through all the years to the first chapter of the Book of Genesis: "God created man in His own image." We on our side are striving to be true to that divine heritage. We are fighting as our fathers have fought, to uphold the doctrine that all men are equal in the sight of God. Those on the other side are striving to destroy this deep belief and to create a world in their own image-a world of tyranny and cruelty and serfdom. That is the conflict that day and night now pervades our lives. No compromise can end that conflict. There never has been-there never can be-successful compromise between good and evil. Only total victory can reward the champions of tolerance and decency and freedom and faith".

Nothing has changed. There are those who combat evil and there are those who do evil. Then there are those who under the guise of free speech aid and abet evil. Unfortunately, there are those who do not understand this including members of Congress. Imagine what Roosevelt's reaction would have been to Johm Murtha or John Kerry. Imagine Roosevelt referring to G_d and good and evil. Sound anything like another president you know?

Sometimes those who have served or continue to serve use it as justification to say what they want. They say "I served my country". So did Benedict Arnold.
