An open letter to Bill O'Reilly:
Well, Bill-o, as the "folks" would say, you have surely stepped on your dick this time.
It was bad enough when you referred to yourself as a "combat veteran" during your late and unlamented radio gig (and trust me, hero, it was a whole different world on the other side of the trip wire. I was carrying an M-16 in the A Shau Valley, you carried a pencil and a legal pad in Central America. Also, you never got within a loud fart of a real firefight.) But despite the visceral contempt held by those who have seen combat for those who have not, yet claim they have, I was willing to let it slide. But no more.
You miserable, chicken-hawk, pretend-soldier, sonuvabitch. Last night, you aligned yourself with FoxNews "military analyst" Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters, and in so doing you have crossed a line that can't be uncrossed. (You will no doubt be pleased to know that Lt. Colonel Peters has the same amount of time in combat as you do ... none ... he spent his time in Germany, searching for cold beer and warm bratwurst.)
Peters, on your show, accused a young American soldier in Afghanistan, captured by the Taliban, of being a "coward", a "liar", and a "deserter". You agreed, and added that the young man must be "totally nuts". You have no fucking idea of the circumstances behind the young man's capture, yet you were all too willing to pile on.
Well, be advised, mother-fucker, according to your bio you're a few months older than I am, but I'm only 6' tall and 170 lbs. That makes you 4 inches taller and at least 60 lbs heavier, so it should be a fair match-up. If I ever can find a way to come face-to-face with you I will first tell you who I am, what I have in mind, and then in the name of my brother grunts, I will tell you that you're a piece of shit. After that, it's your call. (But I've got you pegged as all talk, no guts, Bill-o.)

1. Nice, but send it directly to him, too.
Hell, I'm not a combat vet, but I'd take the asshole on, too.

O'RLY? is the worst sort of chickenhawk.

7. I sent it to Oreilly@foxnews.com, but I'm sure his flunkies will make sure that he never sees it.
Hell,he doesn't even have the guts to READ a call out, let alone hear one in person.

But, it's worth a try.

I want to watch him pee his pants when a real combat veteran shows up to make him eat his words.

6. Great letter!
I'm guessing that you're one of the people that his 'reporters' will not attack with an ambush interview.

Thanks for your service! :patriot:
