Some people who have absolutely no clue what they are talking about, will blindly accept any liberal criticism of George Bush. Those people are deranged with hatred for Bush, and have no grasp of reality or common sense.

Jim, my take is that Joe was not coming at this from a liberal criticism of George Bush. I think his take was actually much more typical with a conservative view of war. I could be wrong, but you might want to look back at his original point.

That would imply that ANY of them are afraid of death.

They don't live in your first world problems fast food instant gratification world that worries if Dunkin Donuts gets your coffee right.

All stupidity like that would do is solidify their hatred of our troops.

Man that's for sure, and some find it hard to understand.

I heard last week senator Whitehouse remarks about the marines pissing on these dirtbags in afghanistan he can kiss my white semper fi ass cause he has no clue what kind of band of brothers we are. If he ever spent a second on the battlefield which he didn't he would crawl up in a little ball and someone would be pissing on him!

what would whitehouse have said about the marines during WWII and some of there encounters with the japenese. Nothing ya know why cause social media wasnt around. so to all my young marines watch your six cause the enemy your fighting is not just the taliban its your own country sad but true semper fi

I didn't see this either. Agree the Band of Brothers remark was really stupid.
