All I Have to Say About Today Is:

A soldier; an American Soldier, is not a prop.

Our soldiers are of flesh and blood-of substance and dedication.

Of family.

Of loved ones.

Of unquenchable desire to walk the grass of the sweet land which they have offered their lives to preserve.

It is criminal to treat them otherwise, Mr. President.

Rest assured, your day is coming.

1. It's sad

that today's use of soldiers as television props is the best he actually treats them.

2. Amen, my brother...amen.

Bush has been using our soldiers for years, now...I doubt that he will stop anytime soon. He is the boy king...they are merely pawns that he plays with when he wishes.

As a veteran, I have no respect for shrubby the chickenhawk.

3. You're absolutely right and this should be said on every news

show and late night show. It's just plain wrong to use people in uniform for your own personal gain, and there's no doubt this is what was done today. We can't expect Bush to be ashamed, since he has no morals or ethics, but the rest of America should be ashamed. I know I was while watching that POS this morning.

4. Judging by today's coverage:

I think that they are shedding their "fears."

Thank goodness!

6. I feel we should not live this one down.

It is a huge slap in the face to our soldiers.
