Amen and thank you to the Army/Marine Mom who created this video.

If you really support the troops, you support their mission!

Remember the Brit cameraman captured by terrorist militia in Iraq? Richard Butler who was kidnapped Feb. 10th, 2008 was interviewed on CBS Evening News and he made this comment:
PIZZEY: You took a lot of pictures in Afghanistan of people in the situation you were in, people hooded, their eyes taped, their hands tied up, […]

Here’s a review of the original case from March 2006:
Sgt Christian M. DeJohn (PA NG) - Discrimination at Temple University, PA
The crass and blatent discrimination displayed by Temple University against Christian DeJohn is beyond belief. The amazing component about this story is that DeJohn wasn’t deployed to Iraq he was deployed to Bosnia. While serving […]

Apparently Dick Cavett thinks that General David Petraeus’ use of “long” words is a turgid vocabulary.
Petraeus commits a different assault on the listener. And on the language. In addition to his own pedantic delivery, there is his turgid vocabulary. It reminds you of Copspeak, a language spoken nowhere on earth except by cops […]

On Tuesday night Frontline’s story was on the Marines in Haditha and the supposed “massacre” of Iraqi civilians. It was more balanced than I expected, however I noted some missing facts especially regarding the Iraqi reporter from the Human Rights group.
Newsmax has the story on the facts missing from the Frontline/PBS “Rules of […]

This is real especially considering UBL used the Dhimmi talking points in his video

All wagging their finger for retreat waving telling us to wave the white flag

It’s hard to keep up with all the new definitions with the Dhimmicrats and it’s lap dog the Washington Post.  When some lawmakers recently visited the Green Zone in Baghdad thumbnail bio’s were distributed of the lawmakers.  The bio’s inlcuded quotes and how the lawmakers voted on war issues.  According to Jonathan Weisman at the […]

Hope Katie Couric makes sure she’s looking though the right lens on her visit!

Michael Yon posts more on the situation in Baqubah along with why he believes the story told of an Iraqi child presented to his parents baked with an apple in his mouth.  He addresses concerns with AP stringers who have been known to report fake deaths and battles but yet considers Yon’s reporting unworthy.

Yes, you have to watch this video of our brutal soldiers in Iraq.  Orphans Left To Starve In Iraq
Have to give CBS News a pat on the back for finally showing the goodness and generosity of our soldiers.  I just wish this could be the above the fold headline for weeks and months instead of […]

From the Democracy Project:
……according to the attorney for Captain Randy Stone, legal officer for the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, charged with failing to report or investigate the deaths at Haditha, the investigating officer, Major Thomas McCann, for the Article 32 hearings (military-type grand jury) is recommending to 1st Marine Division commander Lt. Gen. James […]

Yon’s newest dispatch  - Maysan.
From Michael’s email dispatch:
Next in the queue is a series of dispatches called Death or Glory, which is also the motto of the Queen’s Royal Lancers, the British unit I met up with as the ceremony described in Maysan concluded.
I am currently near Haddamiya in Anbar Province with a small […]

Just in case you might have missed this editorial from American Thinker:
They smell blood in the water, and turn their attention to the military. Their reasoning is that if they can turn the American People against the military, then the war effort will become unsustainable. But they must be very careful in manipulating […]

This news isn’t a surprise to those of us who have been following this case.  You remember these are the Marines that Rep. John Murtha (D,PA) called ‘cold blooded murderers’!  Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI) said there was ‘overwhelming’ evidence that the Marines committed this atrocity in Haditha.  All of this was said before an […]

From Robin at Chickenhawk Express…..
Here we go again - the Washington Post has published another report about the Haditha incident while the accused Marines have yet to even have a trial. To add insult to injury, Josh White and Company used a misleading headline that leaves one with a false impression.
The title of the article
is […]

Red2Alpha(he’s now blogging with AS) at American Soldier talks about has been Andy Rooney of the geriatic network (CBS) and his last Sunday editorial where Rooney talks about current recruiting with the U.S. Armed Forces.  Aside from the insulting tone of Rooney’s little spiel, what Rooney seems most perturbed about is these soldiers are representing […]

Cross posted from Chickenhawk Express who wants this letter to be read. (orig. h/t from Free Republic )
This was written by one of our brave heroes currently serving in Iraq. Feel free to spread it around - it’s time America heard the OTHER side of the story…******************
I stare out into the darkness from my […]

A soldier (Jon Morton) writes home asking that the media look beyond the big picture and see the little picture.  I especially like this statement:
From AZ Central
Speaking of freedom, all these big wigs and leftists back in the states
who have never been to the slums of Baghdad do not know what freedom
is. . . . […]

How exactly do you “misspeak” on an editorial? What happened with the editors at The Tennessean? They got inundated with angry calls and emails and lots of subscription cancellations I’m sure. Just like John Kerry, they believe what they wrote and aren’t really sorry, they’re just sorry for the consequences. You […]

Once again we have the John Kerry “Winter Soldier” redux. There’s more to the active duty soldiers against the war story:
From Chickenhawk Express….
A group of active duty soldiers, called a grassroots group by some in the media, is speaking out against the war in Iraq and calling on Congress to bring the troops home.
snip….
BUT it […]

Imagine you’re a blogger trying to clarify information on the USMC interceptor armor replacement with the new “Modular Tactical Vest”, you write to Camp Lejeune and Pendleton. Guess what the response would be?
Be sure to read the comments!

Some Soldier’s Mom has a deal for Milbloggers who have stories, photos and video from thier war experiences. Sounds interesting and cool.
As a refresher, I am the creator and executive producer of the Military Channel series BATTLEFIELD DIARIES. I am currently developing this as a new two-hour special for major international release that will utilize stories […]

Good news for the Army:
The Army is ending its best recruiting year since 1997 and expecting similar success in 2007, despite the weight of grim war news from Iraq, Army Secretary Francis Harvey said.
In an Associated Press interview Thursday, Harvey said the Army will enlist its 80,000th Soldier on Friday, reaching its goal for the […]

From August 8th:
LA Times Goes Dumpster Diving: Redux Vietnam
I guess the LAT’s hasn’t found enough to smear the Military with Iraq and Afghanistan. They’ve now gone dumpster hunting to dredge up new stories of horror from the Vietnam War. I’m sure if this gains any legs (which I doubt it will), there will be enough […]

WaPo has this extensive story on “few troops tried for killing civilians in Iraq”. What is omitted in the story is the unconventional component of the enemy. When the enemy doesn’t wear a uniform, tries to blend in with non-combatants there is a stress level which I don’t believe any of us who aren’t there […]
