#3 Eek. They should melt down what was left of that Stryker and make it into good luck medallions.

#4 No need to melt it down. It can be fixed. Greatest insult to the enemy. They can't kill our guys and they can't destroy our equipment.

Ha ha and fuck you assholes.

#5 Wow. I'm glad they've been rounding up bombmakers. I particularly noticed the bit about the lieutenant, supposed to take three weeks to let a torn hamstring heal, who ... well, officially, he didn't return to duty until the time was up.

#6 dittos, very neat story from Yon, exemplifying the best of the rest of us!

The future for America will be bright and indeed be in good hands when these American presently serving are elected to Congress.

/Subconsciously that may be the reason why the Harry Reid's, Murthas and Carters et all wish to sabotage our mission in Iraq and the Military because it threatens their future control of America.

just a theory!

#9 no doc, and the damn media helps cover his butt...

*steam coming outta my ears*

they should be hounding that ass-boil down for the stolen loot and for being a glory-hole for our enemies.

Nifong and Murtha must be Satan's identical twins separated at birth.

the current crop of demoC*raps are about as low as I've ever seen. Rhinos disgust me too.

#11 Murtha is being sued personally by Haditha soldiers for IIRC, slander, conspiracy, and general assholedness (I made that one up)
