Honor and dignity in FUBAR ...

Dems get hammered with the "don't denigrate the mission of the men" argument every time they suggest that the Iraq war is a mistake.

Here is my talking point.

How DARE the Bush administration suggest that their shameful activities should reflect on the troops. The proud men and women of the armed services simply carry out the mission. Their is honor in this service REGARDLESS of whether the mission itself is pursuant to the needs of the United States citizens.

The troops in Iraq are serving with distinction and valor. The commander in chief is serving with malice and shame. Every time he tries to transfer his dishonor onto the troops, we should call him on it.

2. troops are conditioned..
.. and brainwashed too.

Even so, it's remarkable that some can see the truth and don't like it.

It's even more remarkable that so many Americans went rahrah for the war just cuz BushInc said it was a good thing to do cuz of all that danger that Saddam posed. Yeehaw.
