Nice reply. Very well put, considering your speaking out your ass. Tell you what big mouth: Suppose you head on over to Baghdad and tell him that to his face! Man, you must have a peep-hole in your navel so you can see where you're going. <br><br>BTW, I notice you have a pretty strong "with us or against us" attitude about your own POV. But, I don't suppose it has to go, does it? <br><br>

Thank you for your service Mcteak. Please be aware that the vast majority support you and all of our troops. God Bless.<br><br>

Wow! Touched a nerve did I. Your reply was expected and is the norm of those who can talk but are unable to act. Remember that no one asked the men and women to defend our rights or freedoms, we volunteered. Our actions will make a difference, will your words? I understand not everyone agrees with what we are doing and that is OK, What is important in the support of the men and women serving our county, they may not like it anymore than I do, but each and everyone serving over here is making a difference. Next time you see someone in uniform, I dare you to go up to that individual and say thank you for protecting our way of life, our comforts and our freedoms. Do you think you can do that, don't say you will, but do it?<br><br>TK<br><br>

&[censored] goes for you too, y'know. Then again, you probably don't.<br><br>

Can you act without a weapon? Do you need guns, tanks, bombs to act? And yes, pointing at DLC and saying he's (and people like him) the problem does strike a nerve. That's not defending rights and freedoms. While you may be personally acomplishing something, your administration is accomplishing this:<br><br>CIA Says Iraq Is Now A Terrorist Training Ground<br><br>http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticl...IRAQ-CIA-DC.XML<br><br>David isn't the problem, people like Paul Bremmer are. Now tell me how this is "protecting our way of life"? C'mon, you know better.<br><br>Come home alive and in one piece!<br><br>P E A C E (It's not a bad word)<br><br>Share this with your team:<br><br>http://www.indybay.org/uploads/why_we_fight.ram<br><br>

Face it, you're an empty drum. Lotsa noise and nothin' inside. Go find more links if it makes you feel like you're actually proving anything. It's the Interweb, Zappy. You can probably find a hundred links that "prove" pigs can fly. So what?<br><br>Someone who's right in the tick of it gives you a real perspective on what's happening over there. Not from 30,000 ft. up. Not off some satellite feed. And certainly not out of the mouth of some liberal idealist who thinks he or she knows more than the rest of us. But from someone getting real face-time with bad guys and good guys alike, and you answer him with freakin' links and sophomoric smartass remarks?<br><br>Nobody likes this war, Zappy. Not even McTeak, I'll wager. And many of us are deeply disappointed in the Admin's tactics. But your hysterics and arrogance and disrespect are shameful.<br><br>You like links so much? Buy stock in Jimmy Dean! <br><br>

I really fail to see why DLC's comments to McTeak garnered so much animosity from people. What did he say that was any different from before, except that he chose to say them to an American soldier this time? At least he showed some consistency. Calling people suck ups and pretentious little pricks because of the people they are addressing as opposed to the content of their post? If DLC had stayed out of it, you would have called him a coward. Being a broken record is one thing. Some civility from people is another. <br><br>

As much as I do not like Dr Phil, I respect him for 1 thing - he doesn't support the war, but he makes it a point not to bad mouth our troops, and he does pull up guests who do. (not that I watch him all that much)<br><br><br><br>We all do what we do for the same reason: because it seems like a good idea at the time.
