Comments on: From The Man Himself https://pat-dollard.com/2007/04/22/from-the-man-himself/ Eventually, I learned the joys of killing. But I’m skipping ahead of myself. I landed in Iraq in November 2004 armed with a video camera instead of a weapon...

When did this story come out? April 30, 2007 hasn't happened yet. Pat- could you put in links to references in the future? Every one of your rants inspires me to look into the subjects further, having some other sources would help. Also, it would help me when trying to explain what you are saying to some of my less educated friends. Thanks “This story appears in the April 30, 2007 print edition of U.S. News & World Report.”

So the story came out in today's issue ( 23rd ) which is actually next week's issue, and is dated as such. So the future has happened in the past of today. The date notation is actually from U.S. News itself, not me, from the future in the past of today's online edition. Which you can find dated as today, online. Today being Monday, even though I'm typing this on a West Coast Sunday, because you'll most likely be reading it tomorrow. Grumpy:

First to Rummy, you mentioned that in a perfect world Dingy Harry would be a fluffer. This must be the perfect world, how else do you thing Reid got all those wrinkles around his mouth?!?!? :twisted: It is also very heartening to see that so many others are getting involved in contacting their elected officials. The facists are going to get the picture very soon, and start doing a 180, so they can curry the voters to try to stay in power. The real crime will be commited by the MSM, as they will go along with the scam, and not hold the liberals to account for pulling a switch. Anything to keep the liberals traitors in office, and to ensure their power base. I think a lot of people are going to wake up around the 2008 elections. Regarding the differences in the military men and women of our great country. Whether Army, Marine Air Force, Navy or Coast Guard, they are all honorable to be a part of, to serve our country. I beg to differ on the ASVAB score thing. Having minimal scores means nothing, what you need to do is look at the scores required for the same job in the different services. And yes, even thought the names or titles vary, there are many MOS's that are the same across the board. ASVAB scores have their place, the main idea everyone needs to remember is that those who join are VOLUNTEERS! and that takes a certain amount of honor in and of itself. As to the spouses of military forces, I salute you as you have the hardest job of all, waiting for word, and when that word is received, wondered how factual or washed it has become. My twelve years of service I refused to have any long term relationship, I did not feel it was right to put a lady I cared for in that position. My views, I am entitled to them. Each of you are also entitled to agree or disagree with me. That is a big part of this country. However, after serving in the Corps, and then switching to the Army, I have to point this fact out. In the Marines, if you cannot meet the physical requirements of the service, you will not graduate Marine Corps Basic. However, when I was at Ft Leonard Wood in MO (Fort Lost in the Woods to those who have been) I was appaled to see pukes that had graduated Army basic training with a PT waiver!!! Those who could or would not pass the most basic requirements were given waivers by their drill sergeants so their graduation percentage was higher! That I thought was just disgraceful in so many ways. first, the drill sergeants were graduating people who did not deserve to. and thos pukes then beciome the resposibility of the training cadre to get them up to snuff. That irresponsibility then led to less time for these people to learn their MOS, more time required on PT. That in turn meant those who were physically qualied were short changed in having the proper amount of time given them by their MOS training cadre. In my late 20's and up through my mid 30's, I could due better on an Army PFT than many 18 and 19 year old, even though I was a smoker, and spent little time on training. I give credit for that to those four bastards that beat the living hell out of me to help make me get through MCRD. Even after 20+ years, I still remeber their names,faces, and voices, and will likely never forget them, they showed me and hundreds others what it took to be a Marine, and to hold the pride of that for the rest of our lives. That being said, I still have respect for those who serve in all branches. I have plenty of friend from the Navy, Army Air Force and of course, Marines. We always give a huge ration of grief to each other for the branch we served in. As mentioned in other posts, this is good inter-service rivalry. We still share jokes about the various services, and each other. If you cannot laugh at yourself, you are in for a rough life, and most of the people I have met over the years that cannot or will not laugh at themselves are these pansy liberal leftist socialist cummunist pukes that are invested in the defeat of the American way of life and our military. What we need to remember are those of us who have fallen, those injured and those who still or will serve, and give them the honor and respect they deserve. We also need to help them by giving voice to our displeasure the liberals and the MSM serve every day. Pat has given us a great place here to share our thoughts, and to garner ideas and ammunition against those who are defeatists. It is up to all of us to make use of this as effectively as possible. Don't ask me why this old jarhead is being soft today, I think spending all weekend with my 5 year old son, and then planning on having to spend some time soon away from him is making me soft in my old age. It is for him and all the young of all patriotic Americans that we need to continue to fight the good fight, whether it is against the MSM and the libs or against the terrorist homicidal camel humpers over in the big sand box.

They are not only telling the enemy when we would pull out of the war, but they are also adding money to spend in there home districts so they can get re-elected next time around. Now they refused to see and talk to our lead military person in this war. What kind of low life political hacks are these left wing scum anyway. Never in our history has our congress done this type of thing. Now, if you check our history you will see that Congress has acted almost this badly in every war that we have been involved in. Including WWI and WWII. But never to tell the enemy when we will leave the battlefield which is to surrender to them. And the cowards won't talk to the Commander. Man, what a shameful day that is.
