Peace marchers from across upstate NY to rally at Fort Drum

[Cooter]

Anyone that talks bad about our country and out commander and chief doesn't diserve to be researched.

Cooter, Let me make it easy for you. Here is a link for info. on David Hackworth. Before his death last year from cancer, probably caused by exposure to agent orange in Vietnam, his was the most highly decorated veteran in America.

You called this man and the others on my earlier list "communist losers". And you don't think any of them deserve to be "researched". Here's another idea . Research the military awards of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

The people I listed served honorably and in some cases with great distinction. Their opinions should be carefully considered.

[Cooter]

If you are going to be voting in our upcoming presidential election based on military awards your choice should be easy.

Nice try (changing the subject) You called one of the most highly decorated veterans in American History a "communist loser". For you to disagree with those who advocate for peace is fine but to show such disrespect for David Hackworth and all of the rest of those military veterans in my previous posting is too low for me to describe.

I suggest you and mrbobf open that internet link to Col. Hackworth's record and read it. Then show some decency by posting an apology to his widow.

Put all these marches in uniform and send them to to Iraq to end the war if they can. Shame on you all.

Great idea Art! I hate it when people don’t support the troops or the war! By the way, when does your unit ship out?[Oh, and before you ask, I am a veteran.]

[Cooter]

Who gives a rat’s ass? What makes his widow any different than any other widow?? If these communist scums are so for peace, I guess they shouldn't have signed up, or at least not reenlisted time after time.

[poop]

i want to go

Wow, Col. David Hackworth, can't believe someone else actually knows about his guy, "To Steel My Soldier's Heart", greatest book I've read...this guys leadership saved 100's of lives in Vietnam, and turned this rag tag outfit into a fighting machine that the enemy would run in fear when they heard they were fighting the 4/39th....wish he was still around today, he was against this Iraq war, knew it was repeating Vietnam all over again, the war strategies were wrong, poor leadership at very top to bottom..."Stay alert, Stay Alive" DH

Nothing like supporting our troops.
I think protesting at an Army Base, where our dedicated soldiers and their FAMILIES live is a little too far.
These men and women are dedicating their lives to our country and this is how we repay them... Bravo liberal New York

I dont like war, but we would not be where we are today with out

Just wondering Cooter, did you vote based on military awards in 2004? or 2000? If you only go by military experience and ribbons they you must have voted for both Gore and Kerry. Did you know that MOST of the decorated combat veterans in the Senate and the House are Democrats?

[jman]

With the exception of John McCain of course.

It is funny to me when I see liberals, assuming you are one, bringing out military medals when it works for them, while discounting them when it comes to the brilliance of General David Patraeus.

The left had no problem calling Patraeus a traitor, while those decorated democrats in the senate (ie. John Murtha) tried and convicted honorable marines who were later exhonerated in the Haditha incident. Murtha never apologized.

Or what about the "honorable" and decorated General Clark, who dismissed McCains service and told us all that "getting shot down does not make one qualified for CIC".

Or what about the left wing in America describig John McCains experiences as a prisoner of war as anything but torture, when he was tortured, while claiming that keeping Al Qaeda operatives in a cold room with loud music is torture.

Has there ever been a time when so many retired US military officers have spoken out publicly in opposition to a war? If you are still in support of this war, please read what these people have said and written.
Brig. Gen. Mark Scheid, Lt. Gen. William Odom, Maj. Gen. John Batiste, Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak, Adm. Stansfield Turner, Gen. Anthony Zinni, Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy, Gen. Wesley Clark, Adm. William Crowe, Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, Retired Major Gen. Paul Eaton, Army Maj. Gen. John Riggs, Lt. Gen. Wallace Gregson, General Paul Eaton, Maj. Gen. Charles Swannack,
Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold, Col. David Hackworth, Smedley Butler

"Smedley Butler"? LOL!

If HE was speaking out against the War in Iraq, that would be quite an accomplishment, considering that he's been dead for decades!

[GMAN]
