Soldiers Yearn for Home

FreeMason

1. The "deck of cards" with the Bush administration arseholes on it, referred to in Colonel's article, was a 'figurative' reference to the soldier's own Most Wanted list amongst his own miltary chiefs.

2. To get the genuine anti-war deck of cards, with all the US criminals on it, go to any gift store in the US that is prepared to stock it, or order by mail or email.

3. The article is not distorted. It is exactly what the soldiers said to everyone in the US that was listening, on ABC's Good Morning America.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fed up with being in Iraq and demoralized by their role as peacekeepers in a risky place, a group of U.S. soldiers aired their plight on U.S. television on Wednesday and said they had lost faith in the Army.

Ugh what's worse....these "soldiers" (I still think the article is a bit contrived), fight a war for a couple days.

Have some losers take pot-shots at them...and whine that they aren't being sent home after a few months...

Wait a minute, what happend to their Grandparents here? Hold on wait....

Their grandparents go off for training, and don't come back for 4 years, if at all, and when the war was over, people still dying, they might not have had enough points to come back for another YEAR....

These guys don't have the right to complain.

In fact if this is the sentiment of the unit, (Which I doubt it), they don't even diserve a ribbon for this.

That's right. Just 3 months ago, you were screaming "Support the troops" while they were doing the killing. Now, after they want to go home (AFTER A WIN) you're dissing em calling them "these soldiers" and that they have no right to complain, implying that they don't have enough fortitude.

Typical republican for ya---two faced, hypocritical, elitist, a fraud.

Has nothing to do with "Truth" has to do with rationality.

The military isn't allowed to complain, this "article" is grounds for court martial. So I doubt it's fully accurate, considering the last thing someone wants is booted out no pay, and a year in prisoned.

Like I said before, everyone is lying; all magazines are distortions of reality but you.

Fishy indeed, you're trying to spin this crap...

Already thousands of 3rd ID have returned...I don't see the grounds of their complaints, they should be having fun, they at least have a story to their names....most die and fade out of existance.

Any man of the 3rd that would remark such as ABC makes them out....does not deserve to have their photos mixed with those below.



But then I still think ABC is spinning some crap of their own, yet another pathetic attempt to bash Bush's administration.

Freemason makes a valid point. When you join the army you know(or should at least) what you're getting into.
I support our troops as much as anyone. I support my country more. It is our resposibility to stay in Iraq as long as it takes to restore order.

The representatives or delegates of the Protecting Powers shall not in any case exceed their mission under the present Convention.

The mainstream media tide is only beginning to turn on this corrupt, deceitful government, FreeMason.

Not all will turn, but the turning and public opinion will be more than significant enough to get rid of the Bush administration cancer.

Uh MA your "corrupt and decietful government" is your opinion...and a poorly informed one at that

Last time I checked West Canada (aren't you in canada? ) is disgusted by the Frenchie President of yours, and their government's dispicable decisions.

When you have geographical locations hating the government, you get Civil War....

I've yet to see any Geographical location despise Bush...
