"Bring them on" indeed. I'm sure the chickenhawks will love these pictures.
Sorry for posting the wrong link the first time chickenhawks. I know you've
got a taste for blood, as long as someone else is doing the work, and would
hate to miss these.

I just learned that the military has taken to leaning REALLY hard on
soldiers in the combat theaters who have their own blogs... we're
talking being busted back a rank or two, fines of over a grand...

And in the overwhelming majority of those cases, the blogs have been
critical of the war effort... those who have blogs that are pro-war
don't seem to be hassled by the government...

Now, it makes some sense to me that the military should discourage
blogs, in the old "loose lips sink ships" tradition... I've seen
examples of information published on assorted blogs that COULD give the
enemy tactical info... but if that's the theory (and it was the reason
offered), then ALL milblogs should be shut down, both pro-war and
anti-war...

This would, of course, help explain how the right can keep on insisting
that the military overwhelmingly supports the war... the truth is, a
very small majority of them support it, 54 per cent to be exact
(according to a Military Times poll)... what I find fascinating is that
that poll focused heavily on career soldiers and officers, not the
average everyday grunt in the field...

Clearly, it doesn't appear that the military is QUITE as supportive of
Dubya and his little war as those on the right would have us believe...
the majority do seem to support it, but it's only a small majority,
which of course means there's a large faction of the military that does
not support it... and inasmuch as the military has always drawn people
with a "warlike" mentality (note that I'm not saying all soldiers have
this, just that those who do possess that mindset are drawn to military
service), it really isn't surprising that crowd would be more
supportive of the war than the general public...

And since I know some on the right will doubt any assertion like this,
and claim it's all made up, here's the link to that poll:

This is obviously nonsense you mindless ass-fedora prevaricator. The only
soldiers hebetudinous enough to not support the war would be privates. Plus
soldiers hardly make enough money to have a grand cut from their salary.

Because the ones in favor of the war contain a veracity that the anti-war
blogs lack you lactating paraplegic.

The pro war blogs contain writers knowledgeable enough to avoid such errors
in judgement. A skill the erratum on the left clearly lack.

This exposes the fallacy of their poll since odds are the average everyday
grunt that can't read would more likely support Bush. Something you would
have taken into account if you weren't a traitor obsessed with molesting
incapacitated sexagenarians.

Our soldiers are emancipators not killers you malicious muck. How dare you
attempt to degrade their heroic efforts to liberate the oil, I mean people,
of Iraq. You're just a bad as the miserable wretch that should have greeted
our soldiers with chrysanthemums but instead fought back with guns.

I don't even need to check the link to know it's a lie you feeble minded
philistine that consumes toddler excrement.

"Ass-fedora prevaricator" means nothing at all other than that you are a
bloody dope full of himself.

Are you in Iraq? No you damn well aren't so how the f.ck can you make
such a statement? I think that those on the ground are worthy of far
more credence than a dumbshit like you who hides his intellectual
dishonesty behind meaningless, fancy phrases typed from the warmth of
his home.

So what you are saying is "if they agree with my views then they are
truthful, if they don't they are a pile of dross". You're laughable
sonny.

Easy, John. I seem to detect, in the "rest of crap" especially, kind of
a sarcastic/ironic trait that might mean he's in fact  joking.

John, I wouldn't swear to this, but I'd bet money that "Vangar's" post
was entirely tongue in cheek, mocking the usual responses we anticipate
from the zealots on the right... I got a laugh out of his Norm
Crosby-esque insults...

Could be  but I'm not so sure. After your coments and those of Frenchy I
read it again and for much of iot what you say could well be true but
overall I still had the impression that the guy beleieved it.
Nevertheless I shall be careful on his/her account.

What does this have to do with the Dallas Cowboys? Take your political
agenda and go somewhere else.

Didn't you know, they're doing a concert in the Tikrit Megabowl from Feb
10th for three nights.
