#1 Thanks for that post. That video demonstrates two things to me:
1.)The US Military is composed of the finest men and women this country, and the world, has to offer.
2.) John Kerry and John Edwards are right, there are two Americas, but not the ones they describe. Rather, one America knows that there exists a belief system that is a vital threat to our very existence that must be fought against and either extinguished or reformed. The second America believes the view of "Good vs. Evil" is an antiquated and useless construct in this post modern, unilateral world.

Bush represents the first America, and Kerry/Dems represent the second.

#9 The attack parts need to be played on mainstream media to give our enemies pause before they start messing with the US.

#11 Alaska Paul,the only way the mainstream media would air this would be as an attack on American troops as being vicious killers who refuse to use non-lethal means to arrest the misunderstood activists.The good news is the video was shot by Marines,because the Army has too many PC-Generals who would launch an investigation and crush a Low-ranking officers' career over something like this.

#13 looked like the Pelilieu at the start? They were leaving San Diego - 32nd street, going under the Coronado bridge - I remember watching them deploy from my office window - 11th floor. As always, welcome back, heroes!

#14 At least John Kerry served in Viet Nam and didn't go to the head of the class for the National Guard and then go AWOL
