Liberals are gutless. If you gouged their kid’s eyeball out with a fork, they still wouldn’t see that as sufficient reason to attack you.

In that same vein, just because an able-bodied red-blooded American wants to fight for his country, he’s really just brainwashed and too stupid to know he’s being used by “chickenhawks.” (Funny term, ain’t it? I guess that, since I’m not a mechanic, I shouldn’t have any opinion on how my car gets fixed, either.)

I have the feeling that yellow-bellied mentality has been around for a lot longer than the USA, and I suspect it won’t be going anywhere too soon. We will always have these pansies who absolutely WOULDN’T take a fight to somebody else, no matter if they were going to burn their house down. Because violence never solved anything, right lib’s?

It’s always easier to sit around and nay-say. The real men get up and do what they need to do.

I saw a Korean War vet yesterday. My wife said I looked like I was going to cry. I was honored to be in such a man’s presence, but I’d spit on Hussein’s shoes if he came near me.

Cortillaen and Bildo,

I had used that Patton quote at the beginning of the Memorial Video I made for last weekend:

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” – George S. Patton

If someone is going to read the names of our fallen troops, then do it with the respect that those heroes deserve.

Anyone who claims to not understand the original post is either lacking in mental capacity or is insincere. I am loath to call anyone an idiot. I figure that idiots will demonstrate their lack of capacity well enough on their own without any help from me.

I will give Blast the benefit of the doubt and assume that he or she is of at least average intelligence. That leaves me only with the conclusion that Blast is simply not sincere. A pretense of incomprehension is a childish and dishonest rhetorical tool.

The original post is excellent and telling. It speaks very well for itself.

As for the scatologically interested Troy, I can only agree. We do now have a leader who gives a s**t about our troops. He gives the same for the rest of us, and no more. For him it is not about people, it is about concepts like “social justice”, however that is defined.

“Anti-war conservatives (I don’t think I like war anymore than anti-war activists) like myself don’t mind seeing flag-draped coffins because I don’t see victims. I see heroes. I see warriors who made the ultimate sacrifice for a cause greater than self.”
That seems like it might be worded a wee bit better. “don’t mind” comes across as indifference, which I sincerely doubt is the case. I offer General Patton’s version: “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.“

Go to bed WS and reread that post when you are fresh. And yeah, I am worked up.

When you calm down, blast, maybe you could give it another try. I just came by, I don’t have a lengthy history with the site — I drop in from time to time — and I got the point pretty much instantly.

@Troy:

Troy,

I’ve deployed for Clinton and Bush II but I didn’t get the impression that either didn’t give a shit about us, as you put it. So what are you talking about?

Also, Z has made a good point alluding to the fact that President Obama has not changed the way in which we fight. So what are you talking about?

excellent point, Wordsmith. The Left can’t be against a war when THEIR guy’s in and, by the way, their guy’s executing the war the same way that guy he detested did. And then this same guy bemoans how many terrorists that war made but then thinks they’ll like us more if he released memos and pictures. He got his way on the photos;’ the Right thinks he’s a hero for having changed his mind but the word today is “the pictures are so terrible, showing sexual abuse, that it’s a good thing they’re not being released.” Ya, that helps calm the terrorists down. Obama always gets it both ways.
As far as ‘giving a shit about them’, catch the tepid applause when obama speaks…and the amazing cheering when the supposedly hated Bush did. Remarkable difference.
We ALL honor our fallen and it’s sad that reading their names or writing them in strips apparently became a slam on them; so many of them believed in the cause as witnessed by the many who are hurt and want to go back. Amazing men shouldn’t be insulted

um…. it’s a cartoon.

And we don’t have to call attention to the men and women in uniform who give there lives so much now, as we finally have a leader who gives a shit about them.

Get a clue.

@blast:

I have to correct this:

“…but I suspect most of the casualties (deaths) were related to being there and serving our country”.

No, every casualty and illness is related to serving the country and that includes the young Marine killed in a motorcycle crash in San Diego, the soldier that died in a drowning in Germany or the sailor, airman, or Coastie that passed away for any other reason you can imagine anywhere around the globe. They all serve our country and deserve better than to be “memorialized” in some snarky, 1960′s throw back comic strip that serves the agenda of its partisan artist. And you know it.
