To Our Modern War Protesters

I sit back and watch as you protest, as you proclaim, "I support the troops, but not the war." I see you bashing the President over every little thing he does. I've watched as you set up fake coffins outside of Walter Reed Hospital, where recovering troops are. I see you as you encourage young troops to desert the military, to flee to Canada or anywhere else. I hear you as you yell Bush will be drafting kids soon, even though the only draft proposal has been coming out of Democrats. I listen, as you demand an immediate withdrawal of all troops from Iraq. "Leave it to the Iraqis," you yell. "Bring the troops home now," you scream. I even see you sneering at our brave young men and women as they return to America and hear you as you whisper what losers they are, unable to find decent paying jobs in civilian life. I even remember moonbats as you when I returned from Viet Nam and have run across too many of you in the ensuing 36 years.

Little do you realize that if Iraq goes the way Viet Nam did, it will not be because of brave young people in uniform lost their will or couldn't hack it (nice of you to always remind us of stories implicating atrocities of a very minor small handful as if all committed them), but will be due to the efforts of leftist Bush bashers, again, like you.

We were continually undermined in Viet Nam and forced by the left to leave. We agreed to a Peace Plan that ensured a free country we would reenter and protect them if the oppressive communist North attacked them. Due to the efforts of a mostly Democrat Congress, a bill was passed prohibiting any future aid or help to South Viet Nam.

Then, for over 30 years, those of us who served and sacrificed our youth to protect freedom and liberty around the globe, as stated by Democrat President, John F. Kennedy, have been bombarded with messages from television, movies, politicians, book authors, school teachers and college professors and the socialistic left leaning banker types with tales of what losers we were, what a danger we posed to society (it was no less that John 'F'in Kerry that stated "The country doesn't know it yet, but it has created a monster, a monster in the form of millions of men who have been taught to deal and to trade in violence…..,") and looked upon us as deranged, potentially violent hair triggered war criminals. We are called "baby killers," even though we may not support abortions (who do you think really kills more babies?).

No, I've seen your type over and over for many years now. In your egotistical hatred of George Bush and Republicans, you sit in your self-proclaimed ivory towers of self-righteousness and try to portray an image of caring about the troops when you actually despise them, probably out of jealousy. Jealousy that they have the guts to stand for something and desire to see others free to live as we do. You think bashing Bush and the WoT to the U.S. Service men and women fighting it will make others think you care enough to not want to see him hurt or injured when you couldn't care less that your defeatist rhetoric will cause many more deaths of Americans in harm's way than save.

Just like from back in the 70s, if you succeed in forcing an American abandonment of Iraq, you will puff out your chest bragging at how you "stopped a war." In fact, the leftist anti-war protesters did no such thing. They prolonged it by 5 years at a cost of nearly 40,000 more American lives on the battlefield.

You remind me of a slick banker slyly talking a farmer into a loan, knowing the terms will end up making the farmer lose their farm and the bank to take possession of it with the intent to make a profit off the sale of the land.

People like you, Cindy Sheehan, Ned Lamont, John Kerry and so many more couldn't hold a candle to the men and women volunteering for our Armed Services today. You can only be jealous that they have their values and the intestinal fortitude to stand up for them.

You should thank God (or whatever you may believe in) that there are still young people willing to stand and protect you in your ivory tower, just so you can trash them.


To any Service member if you read this, pay no mind to the latest moonbat war protesters. Whether they ever served or not, they have forgotten what it means to stand for something that is worthwhile standing for.

I can claim fame as being one of the many Freepers out on the counter protest lines. It is a job I do on weekends and when ever the far left has their anti american protests. The fun part is they feel that they are the only one's with rights to protest when they see us show up they get very upset and then the name calling starts.

Me personally, its a tough call. We have our Brothers, many we know directly out in the wild west of Al Anbar. I pray that they will do their job and return safely.

I got my Warrior heart, my Marine Corps heart that wants to be out there with them. Even if its just as a REMF, fueling attack birds or making sure that hot chow goes out to them.

But if you check the temperature gauge of even the conservative Fox News poll (http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm), they report that the majority of Americans think that something is wrong and its not going right. They just don't like the war.

As a Marine, that's what we do. We could not accept any other life for ourselves. Three tours in the Sand Box? Sure, if that's my unit's rotation, I'm in. They ain't leaving with out me.

Even the writer DakotaRed on the Free Republic Web site, acknowledges these protesters. They are the majority, they are making themselves heard.

I don't buy the argument that this majority hates America. That's absurd.

I'm not copying pasting left wing propaganda. I'm wondering where did it all get FUBAR? On September 12th 2001 we had total unity. Not anymore.

Your not going to find me standing shoulder to shoulder with Sheehan. But I can't ignore the majority of these folks I had sworn to protect and defend.

If I had a plan? Quit the propaganda on Islam as a whole. Its not Islamifacism its the Wahabbist sect. They are directly responsible.

Somehow we have failed to make formal declarations of war on them. Why can't we declare war on a religious sect? For 6 years we've had a hawk in the White House and a hawk majority on Capitol Hill. How can they miss this?

I normally don't advocate passing the buck, but yeah, Clinton's policy of progressing Signal Intel over Human Intel was a mistake. Its takes a long time to develop assets and productive intel overseas.

If we had good eyeballs on the Wahabbist, they would be extinct by 10 November. The root cause would be dead from Saudi Arabia to Sudan.

Yellowwing I disagree because our local fruits and nuts were out on Sept.15 ,2001 In Ft. Collins protesting any action the President was going to take.I know this because the local V.F.W. had some members that happen to drive by them and decided to stop and counter them with support the troop signs. They have now done this every Saturday from 12pm till 1 pm come rain or snow or sunshine countering the nuts in Ft. Collins Colorado and this has been since September 15, 2001.
My wife and I go up once a month to stand with them and show our support.
This is also the group that has told me the wish for my son to come home in a box.
I know you may be right about some but I see the ones that just do'nt fit your idea of the left.
With all respect.
