Freepers criticize US soldiers.
Isn't this border-line insubordination? Just curious as to what's allowed in the ranks today.

No kidding. I understand they want to come home but until they can they need to tell the soldiers to shut up and quit talking to reporters who are only looking for negative stories anyway. We didn't fight and win the battle to run home and let the Islamists take over and create another terrorist state.

These people whining must be from the army of one the old soldiers know you have to give all to be all you can be.

I am not downplaying that morale is down and with the heat, fighting still going on that they won't be some complaining and bitching, but whoever those goofs that ABC hunted down to get on television( I have a feeling that the wives tipped them off beforehand)should be brought home, and kicked out of the Army.

Now you are going to see people take this idiot's quote and say see America is a paper tiger, just keep poking them and they will start to whine and want to go home with their tails between their legs.

7. I saw those posts and was outraged!
They sit back in their air-conditioned easy chairs and criticize the troops for being wimps, whiney, say what? Get your asses over there if you are so pro-Iraq.

These people don't have a clue.

I hope the freepers are still gung ho about counting military ballots.
Remember how in 2000 Jebbie and his gang in Florida ignored the rules and counted overseas military ballots postmarked late, not notorized, missing signatures, etc? I sure hope they feel the same about military ballots in 2004. I'd hate to see 3ID soldiers 'disenfranchised' after they've fought for our country like they did.

46. Missing Ballots
I can see a lot of those ballots going missing for a week - oh shucky darn. Or I can see them using Electronic Voting Services thanks to Diebold.

He was right there, at his TV set with his hard-on for war right with tos soldiers every step of the way.

4. Ye gods! Do they have no shame?
I suppose all of *them* spent a year away from their families in 110 degree heat with people shooting at them.

Send them to Iraq.

Well, they're not going to win any points with the American public with that kind of crap!

5. Of course they are...whatta bunch of gutless chickenhawks
Some of those cowardly Freepers ought to try a stint in the service, althohgh I'm sure most of them have a pilondial cyst (hiary ass-growth) or some other "disability" that will keep them out of the fighting.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

How easy it is for these Mindless Freeper Automatons to turn on those they claim to hold to high esteem.

(A Freeper claim to any principle is as much a lie as anything else they repeat out of the mouths of their Party Masters. Further, a Freeper claim to principle is also a joke, like being against deficits, a supposedly hard-held beloved principle for Freepers, Imperial Fellow Travellers and other assorted dupes, is nothing that can't be changed with a single word or WSJ article from the Party Masters)

Either you're a hefty fellow, or you "spent the war" in YOUR barcolounger stuffing your face, watching FOX.

Which is it?

BTW, at 6'4", 290#, *I* sure as hell wasn't offended by that picture, definitely not to the point of calling somebody else a "bigot"...

fuck em

it's always the most gung ho motherfuckers that turn yellow first.
it's easy to put down the men for complaining, when you yourself are too much of a chickenshit to be there fighting. fuck em.

in the movie 'the deer hunter' early in the movie the local boys see a marine back from nam and drunkenly tell him they think the boys are doing a fine job of fighting the commies and how proud they were of the soldiers, and all the soldier could say was, 'fuck it'.

19. Always love your graphics Mopaul!
Reminds me of the old, old movie 'All Quiet on the Western Front' where Paul, the German WWI vet off on leave, returns to his hometown to listen to the men in the bar tell him how he doesn't know what he's talking about regarding the war, and how his former teacher calls him unpatriotic for speaking badly about the war to the students.

11. These Freeper-Types
are all through the little town I live in. My own FIL is a Rush-lovin, 700 club contributor. And hell NO he has never been in combat. These are his sentiments, and there is nothing stranger than hearing about how his preacher had the congregation praying for the pResident. They best pray a little harder, he's gonna need it.

If soldiers are fighting in a "non-war" and getting blasted, bombed, shot at, etc., and then to find out it is for a lie, they above us ALL have a helluva reason to holler foul.

And WHY do they keep saying "WE"?? I will bet not ONE of em putting posts up has a relative or friend over there. It's as annoying as Bush saying 'my government". Idiots.

21. What Happened to Freepers
"SUPPORTING THE TROOPS" - and those that opposed the war was against the troops - they don't know what they want - except to bow down and kiss bush's ass and make sure he doesn't look bad. They cannot see the forest for the trees - amazing.

38. The soldiers aren't allowed to have opinions, but if that is true
than Bush shouldn't be speaking in front of military crowds, to look like he has more support than he does.

Is this just some NRA mindmeld thing or do people really believe you can stop bullets with a gun? Guns are for offense, not defense. Guns do not protect. They kill. Hello! Is this thing working?!

29. So this is what it means to support the troops
Do not question any (Republican) presidential decision to send the troops into harms way.

Never bat an eye when (Republican) politicians slash benefit programs for soldiers and veterans.

Sit back and watch the carnage on TV in the confort of your air conditioned double wide.

Ridicule any soldier who dares to complain about the conditions.




Ladies and Gentlemen, if this be patriotism, brand me a traitor.

32. my new bumpersticker
Never had one of those "We Support Our Troops" stickers on my car,
but I think I'm going to put one on that says:

"We Support Our Troops, ALL of them"

or I could just add an addenum to the other's, putting underneath
theirs:

"That Vote Republican and Keep their Mouths SHUT".

Search Freeperland for threads about a certain Michael New,
Macedonia c1995...he was a hero in Freeperland.

34. And did you notice? When the troops "won" the war,
all praise to our beloved chimpanzee brainless idiot little lame Prince of a pResident. But when the soldiers start airing justified complaints about the way post-war Iraq is being mismanaged and their lives put in danger, they've become "Clintonized" troops. Feh! Why do those fucking freepers think they can have it both ways?

35. I love this little gem...
We need to get a little rough with these clowns so as to get our boys home.

1) Looters will be shot on sight.

2) Anyone found with munitions will be shot on sight.

3) Anyone not smiling at our troops and instead is found scowling, sneering, frowning, disagreeing, gesticulating in an angry manner, and raising their voice to one of our troops will be shot on sight.

4) Etc.

Get the picture, Achmed?

Wonderful sentiment, eh?

36. Ah yes,
The perils of conquering, er, liberating a nation.

Wasn't it the Romans who found occupying a territory to be a costly and dubious task if there isn't a direct benefit to the Empire? Far better to set up token fiefdoms and give the perception of independence while the tax money is shipped home to Rome.

If we are going to build an Empire, for crying out loud, let's do it right. Bush can't even get the basics of it correct.

42. From what I hear them say it dont suprise me but
Do you think knowing their "shoot em" mentality they would say such a thing about a soldier critical of Bush because I think I can think of a man who did that to his dissents in the military and no his name isnt FDR nor is he American. Of course Hitler would do such a thing and Stalin to those who disagreed with them Hitler would also send those to Eastern Front as well.
