5. Nope. High ranking state side officers.
Those that are running the show are well pleased with the whole thing. Even reservists and guards are lining up for the carpetbagging that is to follow if and when the situation is stabilized. Bushco didn't have to twist many arms to make Iraq happen.

They're asking for help "freeping" it, and can't believe that there are that many "disloyal" GI's.

8. Couple of posts over there...
actually calling for "freeping the poll".

There is NO respect for fairness in these cretins. I can picture 100 of them bouncing between the poll and the main page, clicking away to support bush. The poll is useless if you can vote more than once, and I would be surprised if bush had 10% of what was counted for him!

Arrogant miserable bastards, freepers just can't do ANYTHING in a fair way! :grr: :nuke:

:kick:

7. Most people don't realize that soldiers and sailors...
could not vote in presidential elections, up until 1864. It was the military vote that sent Lincoln over McClellan. It does not surprise me in the least, that especially the rank and file, would be against bush. I cannot think of one person in the military that has ever gone AWOL, deserted, or failed in the commission of their duty, that was not basically despised for their inaction. There is no quicker way to lose confidence & respect of those you serve with than to leave your fellow servicemembers to their fate, while you persue a personal agenda; whether that be from fear, greed or any other personal foible.

Everyone who has served in the military knows that the slogans and patriotic rhetoric falls on deaf ears quickly....you fight for yourself, and those around you; nothing else matters in combat.

There are no divisions of religion, race or any of the other commonly divisive ideologies that afflict mankind. We were all 'green' and it was imperative to bring everyone home that we could. I NEVER asked a man or woman what religion they were while in the Army, we were Americans all, and that was the ONLY thing that counted.

Fathers, sons, daughters and mothers......the object was to get home with as much intact as humanly possible. This is the way war is, do your job and get home.

didn't mean to rant, sorry...but I have a soldiers blood running through my veins, and I have nothing but the highest respect for our service men and women, (far and away for the enlisted, there are some great officers, but, sorry, they don't do most of the fighting. It is the Sgt & Pvt that stand on the hill bloodied and winded, they EARNED that respect).
