Iraq Veteran Calling On Obama At DNC

[StrengthFromAbove83]

worthless comment from you c1fuzzles. this "marine" is a MINORITY in the Marine Corps and military in general. He wants attention because he's only a PFC POG!

[marduk0861]

Something looks strange as hell in this video.

The "veteran" in the dress blues looks way too damn old to have been a lance corporal any time since 2003. He's also got a hashmark on his sleeve. Lance Corporals with hashmark's usually don't want to display that. It says a little something about the character of their service.

[Dogmeat7]

guys. he's not a MARINE. the Unifourm is not being worn correctly. many things he messed up on another civy in a uniforms god they shoudl put those type of guys in jails for a few years.

[exodus2142]

your a fag

[Dogmeat7]

I don't need to know that your gay,

[iamnoturbuddyguy]

I'm an Iraq Vet and from what I've seen the IVAW is not for me.

I think you guys need to take off the uniforms and march in plain clothes, all pinned and button out. I sure as fuck never cared about medals and class A's and shit, being a soldier in mind and body is what its all about.

YOU guys can go out and do what you do, I'm kind of busy with college and doing what I want to do.

[earic23]

he's a lance corporal, not a private

[san0470]

I wonder if the marine private knows its illegal to protest in unifom.

[kargenlewis]

i want eevrything now or i am going to go on camera and cry like a baby for youtube.

[hypnofan35]

I don't think anybody gets it: The military is over there to make it possible for the Uber Rich to steal the oil. Of course they will say that is not so. The money comes first, the money shapes and drives the foreign policy. We never hear about the oil because if anyone goes over there to check it out is the same as a death sentence. That is what Blackwater is for in part. They are the hired assassins of the oil stealing action. They are like the hit man thugs who will kill the news people.

[hypnofan35]

The reason 911 was perpetrated with the help of the Bush admin was to make it possible to send the US military with all its killing force and super weaponry to Iraq to steal the oil. It is not like they care who dies even if it is small children. No one wants to admit to what is happening even the Democrats. The Dems don't want to cause any backlash or unrest in the mindless followership of the United States people or sheeple if you wish. It is for the Uber Rich power players. It's a huge lie.

[hypnofan35]

The unhappy aspect of people in general is that they are anything but Christian in nature while paying to belong to a "christian church". People tend to care about how well they are doing in a relative sense and don't really think beyond their personal status and wealth. As long as they are no closely associated to an abomination, they will support it if it bolsters their personal status or wealth. George Bush is more responsible for 911 than anyone else because he could have prevented it.

[yewwtooob]

to 'hypofan35' you must be a dumb-shit indeed! If we are there to 'steal the oil' then why is gas so high? What a silly dumb-shit you are! My guess is that you: 1 Never served, 2 are an ass-pirate/liberal/baby killer, and 3 stupid as a bag of stinky shit! Am I right? Damned shame that your vote counts the same as an educated persons....whether by college or experience...God Bless you my child!!!!

[hypnofan35]

i can tell you are uninformed. Everything is not as you presume. It is a partial answer not as a fuel, but as a combustion enhancer. It creates a condition of a super spark plug causing a super clean burn of whatever fuel is being used. The burn is completed several times faster creating a more efficent power stroke and exhaust without burnable fuel. Obviously you are just an abusive asshole. Go listen to Rush.

[exodus2142]

FLY BY NIGHT !!!

2112 the best

[yewwtooob]

Also, (hypofan35--a fan of hypnosis maybe??)for you information, hydrogen/oxygen generation by electricity to 'split' water is not the way to 'slap BIG OIL' in the face. It is less than 35% effective (meaning 75% more energy used than you get). Diesel engines get 40-60 MPG in the UK, Germany, etc. THAT is the way to go.

[yewwtooob]

Continued.....Then again, I would bet that you already know that and are preying on the dumb bastards who drive a 5000 pound SUV around on firestone (or bridgestone) tires just dying at the pump becuase they go 120 MPH then hope for no blow-outs! Kind of like the 'electric superchargers' on ebay that use 20 amps but supposedly add 30 HP. Silly old fart! What a dork!!!!!

[kotaysoon]

god im so sick of fucking youtube consperaists like you you think you know everything but you dont

[hypnofan35]

You beleive that all you have to do is be angry and abusive. The good new is is works for if you belong to a greedy mob.

[c1fuzzles]

Democrats want the War to continue. They control the House. All they have to do is with-hold the funding, DUH! but they haven't. They say what you want to hear, unfortunately they support this illegal, invasion, occupation of Iraq.

Support our Troops, They don't support Empire Building! Bring ALL of our Troops home now!

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles: please explain how Iraq is empire building for the USA, until then you should shut up with that sort of rhetoric, it makes you sound stupid. Only about 500 troops are in that group, while over 900k have served that believe in the cause. Of course the troops who support the war, don't get the media time, like the anti-war crowd does.

[c1fuzzles]

Another uninformed, non reading citizen: Who got the most Donations from the Active Duty Military and Veterans more than any Democratic and Republican Candidate? RON PAUL! Check the FCC for 4th Quarter 07 and DO YOUR RESEARCH. They were telling you what they felt about the War. Iraq had nothing to with 9/11 (Bush said it) Why are we building 14 permanent bases there? So that the Empire building continues to Iran and other countries. Go do your homework before making Asinine Comments.

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles, you don't know how to debate: Putting in bases is not empire building, it is protecting our ALLIES and our interests, dumbass. Empire building is taking over a country, calling it our own, and controlling it and taking revenues from that country, we have done NONE of those. You better do your homework before you shoot off your pie hole. You want to debate me, go for it

[Ghostski]

I spent 8 months in Iraq, I'll debate you right now.

[exodus2142]

your so stupid for joining any service i can only hope a ied killed your friends in front of you

loser

[Ghostski]

You call me stupid, yet you're the one filled with anger and hate. You wish death upon my friends who were killed in front of me...

I wasn't defending this war. I am against it with all my heart. I've experienced war while you likely sat in the window at your starbucks pretending to be smart and 'different'.

I only wish for freedom to my people, but while I've been gone things have deteriorated worse and worse, and now americans are left voting for two fascists from column A & column B.

[c1fuzzles]

I appreciate your service to our Country!

[c1fuzzles]

OMG. You're the Fucking Stupid Fuck! What the Fuck do you think we did in Iraq? What do you think the US All over the place by putting everyone in the dollar which is worthless. If they don't do what we want we attack them. Just because the countries we conquer doesn't have USA as the name doesn't mean we didn't take that country over. GO READ YOU STUPID FUCK!

[FinancialQuant]

Finally ! Where has this America been all these years.

[c1fuzzles]

Here's a book list for you:

-Petro Dollar Warfare, William R. Clark

-A Foreign Policy of Freedom, Ron Paul

-A People's History of American Empire, Howard Zinn

-Blowback, Second Edition: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire, Chalmers Johnson

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles. this trumps anything those books will say: the fact that if it wasn't for USA's military, the entire would would be in chaos, in darkness and USA would not be a country today!

[c1fuzzles]

pmango1000: That statement goes to show you how stupid and ignorant you really are. You need to get out of your house, get out of the country, and see the USA from the Outside in. The USA is now $9 Trillion in debt today. Our Foreign Policy created most of these Wars by Lobbied, sell out Public Officials who subsidized both sides of the War. Who put Saddam into power? US/The CIA (Bush) did. Who aided Osama during Afgan/Russia Conflict? USA did. Wake up dumbass!

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles:it doesnt matter who put Saddam in power: the problem was he became dangerous. Your point is moot, its like saying that we shouldn't get rid of N. Korea's nukes cause Clinton helped them get them. it doesn't matter if the USA helped N. Korea get wmd, the problem now is making sure they GET RID OF THEM!!!! Your have no point!! The USA also helped Ahmadinejad get into power 1979 but I don't hear anyone saying that because we put him in power that we should let him do what he wants!

[c1fuzzles]

The USA did not help President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad get into power in 1979. He was part of the '79 US Hostage crisis in Iran. He became Iranian president in August 6, 2005.

Got schooled by someone who doesn't even have his facts straight? LOL. ok dude whatever. GO READ!

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles: you moron Carter got rid of the shaw which changed Iran's leadership, which is why Ahmadinejad is president TODAY!!! The difference between you and I is that I am not arguing against throwing out the Iranian regime today because "the USA put them into power" Swish! You lose! Learn how to debate!

[c1fuzzles]

You too funny pmango1000! I love it. LOL. The CIA overthrew Prime Minister Mossadeq 1953 with a Coup d'etat and installed the CIA's Puppet leader The Shaw, Reza Pahlavi. Carter didn't do shit to remove Reza (not even his Human Rights Foreign Policy didnt do shit). It was the Iranian Demonstrators pressured The Shaw to leave "on vacation" in 1979. Resistance to Reza's dictatorship was inspired by Khomeini's activism. The CIA call this "Blowback."

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzle:  I know it hurts to be schooled, and you just got schooled

[c1fuzzles]

pmango1000: schooled by a non-reading, uneducated stupid idiot who doesn't have references to back up his point like you LMAO! OMG you're a Socialist, Liberal Dumbass. Why shouldn't N. Korea or Russia or any other country in the world have Nukes. Let them. People have a right to their life, and a right to defend it. It's like saying People shouldn't own guns and just let the government have the guns. 2nd Amendment wasn't for hunting!

[c1fuzzles]

It does matter that we put Saddam in Power. The point is the US have been on both sides of the War for a very long time. We start most of it and blame it on other people.

Vietnam War: Gulf of Tonkin never happen but that started the War. It was made up so the Military Industrial Complexes could make a huge profit on the Conflict.

[c1fuzzles]

During the Russian Invasion of Afghanistan WHO supplied the Stinger Missiles to the Aghan Freedom fighters? At the same time WHO subsidized the Fama River Truck Factory in Russia that built Trucks that invaded Afghanistan? US Government did.

[c1fuzzles]

During the Vietnam War we subsidized Russia with Wheat. We all know that Russia helped armed the North Vietnamese during the War.

Why are we subsidizing our enemies during a War? (This is the part where you should read like stuff from our Congressmen. You know what a Congressman is don't you?)

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles: you do realize that USA didn't start the Vietnam War, right? It was going on for about 12 years before we joined to free the South Vietnamese from communism, it was called the Indo-China War. Morons like you actually think the USA started the Indo-China war, LOL!!! what a maroon you are. READ! PS: JFK ran on a pro-war platform and wanted to engage communism, so by today's standards, JFK was a "neocon"

[c1fuzzles]

pmango1000: I referred to the start of US involvement/massively increased support into South Vietnam vs North V. Did I type "The US started the Indo-China War?" No. LOL. The Gulf of Tonkin Event justified the increased in Military support. The US refers to it as "The Vietnam War." Not the "Second Indo-China War."

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles: Russia DOES have nukes! You are now debating out of context if you think this is a "right to bare arms argument" Regimes have to EARN the right to have nukes and show responsibility before they can have them. I'm a socialist?? Ha I am a conservative, and completely against the socialist belief system, geez how stupid are you?

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: "EARN the right"?? WTF?!? Russia Earned the Right to have Nukes but not Iran? Earned from who? US? LOL! You support Preemptive strike against Iran that doesn't have an Army, Navy or Air Force and had nothing to do with 9/11?

OK, I get it now. You're right! You're not a Socialist.. You believe in the Nazi Hermann Goering doctrine to justify taking a country into Wars. Iraq/Iran MIGHT HAVE WMD's and had nothing to do with 9/11 but lets Blow them into smithereens and build bases there.

[c1fuzzles]

Hey Let's send our Troops into Georgia too because they're the ones that Attacked Russia! We won't tell the American people that there's a Oil Pile Line that we can acquire in Georgia.

"But we want Peace and follow the US Constitution of Declaring War." NO! We will "DENOUNCE THE PACIFISTS FOR LACK OF PATRIOTISM" just like the Nazi Hermann Goering said and give HUGE profits to the Lobbyist and Private Corporations like Halliburton (Still have ties with Dick Cheney).

Oh no, I got schooled again!

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles: Russia is one of the 5 permanent members of the UN security Council, Iran is not. Iran funds terrorist groups and calls for the destruction of Israel, Russia does not You dont get obvious things do you? Saddam funded terrorists and housed them. We had proof that Saddam funded Palestinian bombers and we said anyone who does has to go. Saddam was the only one who had used wmds before. Why do you think Ghdafi stopped his WMD's in Lybia right after 2003?

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: Gee, what country that has the Largest Terrorist Activity in the world that was recently been subsidized by the US of $10 Billion which was borrowed from the Chinese? Pakistan. The $100k that was wired to Mohamed Atta who was one of the Terrorist on 9/11 came from? Pakistan. But we still support them? You obviously have your head far up your Neo-Con, Nazi Preemptive Strike advocate far up your ass YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON! Stop watching Faux News.

[c1fuzzles]

The Bush Administration pushed the idea that Iraq had WMD's. Did they found any? Nope. Now their making a case against Iran that they are building Nuclear bombs. On Dec. 07 The N.I.E. (National Intelligence Estimate) reported that Iran halted their Nuclear bomb program back in 2003. Who are you going to believe, the Lying Bush Admin or N.I.E.

Bottom line is YOU ARE PROMOTING A PREEMPTIVE STRIKE TO COUNTRIES THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11. We should attack Pakistan if that's what you believe.

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles: yeah, and after that NIE report, Iran launched MISSILES that are capable of carrying NUKES. Typical of your type: ignore 20 years of intelligence for ONE report from the NIE that says otherwise. why would you pin ONE report that says they are not trying to develop them over about 20 reports that say they are trying to get nukes???

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: The Middle east (Central Asia) and Columbia are the LAST remaining Oil Resource in the world! After that, it's gone! When Soviet Union collapsed, The US is the remaining Super-Power in the World. To stay the ONLY Super-Power, The US must control/manage Eurasia's Oil resource. Bush didn't Illegal/Unconstitutionally Attack Iraq because of WMD's, it was to continue to build an AMERICAN EMPIRE. Bush and his buddies are reaping the profits while innocent people die.

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: No one would have thought of preemptive attacks on other Countries perceived to be dangerous. But, Here's a quote from Zbigniew Brzezinski's book, The Grand Chess board: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives, "Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct EXTERNAL THREAT." p. 211 Attacks on 9/11?

[c1fuzzles]

9/11 was an inside Job? We don't have hard evidence yet, but Have the government planned an attack on its own people to justify going into war? Funny you should mention Pro-War Dem JFK.

Look up: Operation Northwoods. (March 13, 1962) titled: "Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba (TS)

One of the listed plans: "It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civil airliner . . "

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: 9/11 inside Job or Not have created a consensus among the US Citizens that it's ok, justify PREEMPTIVE ATTACK on countries that is known to be harboring Terrorist. You and everyone else was convinced by the Military Industrial Complex owned Media, that it's Justified to invade Iraq, Iran and any other Country that this Fascist, Bush Administration chose to attack. Especially in Central Asia (middle east) where there is Oil to continue to build the American Empire!

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: Bringing the point Home; Our troops see what's going on over there. Thank God for their service. But when a Non-Interventionist Presidential Candidate like Ron Paul who stresses that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, no Empire Building, and Bring our Troops Home, RON PAUL RECEIVED MORE DONATIONS FROM ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY AND VETERANS than any other candidate Democrat or Republican COMBINED! You know what the majority of the military are feeling about the War on Iraq and Foreign Policy.

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: If you're truly Conservative and Support our Troops that have told you who they Support, Do Yourself a favor and READ MORE to find out what's really going on in our Country!

Swallow your pride on whether or not you think you won or lost this debate. I have proven to you that our Fascist Government is Building an Empire leaving us citizens out to dry and Our Military supports Ron Paul!

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles: what have you "proven"? The things that you are saying about our government should be directed at our enemies, not your own leaders. The only freedom I have lost is BECAUSE of the terrorists, not our leaders!! No one can ever fly the way we used to. If we get hit again, it will be Marshall law, but I would still blame the TERRORISTS not our leaders!! No different than when they put in security cameras: i don't blame those who installed them, I blame those who are the CAUSE of them!

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: Speaking about our so called "enemies" the Terrorist and our Leaders (namely the Bush Family), was Usama Bin Laden in connection for the attacks on 9/11 (Check the FBI website on Most Wanted) that gave justification on Pre-emptive strike on Afghanistan and Iraq?

This is the part where its gets really interesting pmango. Please answer.

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles: I have seen that before, LAden has like 50 kids and 100's of relatives who are in business in the Middle East. The Bush family, of course, has come across Laden's family, as the Bush do business in Mid East. Laden's family denounces him, I believe that is just coincidental. I dont get what I am supposed to answer

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: Hey sry for calling you names. Glad we can debate a little calmer now LOL. Bin Laden was already in Connection with the Aug. 7th, 1998 Bombings of the US Embassies in Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. America's Most Wanted! But Yet he spent two weeks at an American Hospital in Dubai, treated by an American Doctor and visited by the Local CIA Agent during July 4-14, 2001.(Source: La Figaro Oct. 31, 2001.) He should have been arrested right there but wasn't!

[c1fuzzles]

cont: I'm sure everyone remembers that Bin Laden's Face was plastered all over the MSM and Bush blames Bin Laden for the attacks on 9/11. And of course everyone agreed to go attack/kill him in Afghanistan. But You got to ask yourself, why is Usama Bin Laden have not been charged for the attacks on 9/11 to date? 9/11 is bigger event than the attack in 1998! But the FBI concludes that there's not enough evidence that he had any connection to 9/11. We went to war in Afghan on a LIE!?

[c1fuzzles]

cont: A little bit about the 19 Alleged "Hijackers." Most of them (~16 ?) of them were Saudi Arabian. 6 of them are still reported ALIVE! Of the 19 Dead or Alive, NONE of them are in connection with Osama Bin Laden (FBI site spells his name Usama). To date the FBI has not revised the list and have no evidence or current investigations of their connection to Bin Laden.

[c1fuzzles]

cont: You probably know all this stuff already and you can tell me. But check this out: If a relative of yours is #1 Wanted for Terrorist attacks, shouldn't your family be investigated so they can at least find them or find out if any other relatives are Terrorist also?

Jan. 01 The Bush Administration orders FBI and other Agencies to back off investigations of the Bin Laden Family including Abdullah and Omar both were living in Falls Church Virgina right next to CIA HQ. (BBC. Nov. 01)

[c1fuzzles]

cont: (Wallstreet Journal Sept. 17, 01) 1998-2000 George H.W. Bush Meets with Saudi Royal and Bin Laden family on behalf of the Carlye Group which is the #11 biggest Defense Contractor in the World at that time (probably #1 now). Interesting enough, The Carlye Group Owns La Figaro! But the story on Osama Bin Laden Visiting the Hospital in Dubai on Oct. 01 has not been retracted.

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles: you are losing me on the empire part. What do you mean? When you say empire building I think of Nazis who REALLY took over countries. I agree with Paul on most issues is: smaller federal gov, give power back to states, more personal responsibility, less govt spending,) family & parents help education more than just "more funding". Paul's views on decreasing our military is where he lost me...as our military is really the only reason why we are free today.

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: I would suggest start reading about the Philippine-American War (also referred to as Philippine Insurgency 1897-1902). I was born in the PI and studied some Filipino History on that war. To understand more about "Empire building" or US Imperialism.

Back to the Middle East (Columbia also) mainly because its the last Oil Reserves in the World. Whoever controls that, controls the world. China can't get to it neither does Russia (Geographically speaking)

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: More on "Empire Building" The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives by Zbigniew Brzezinski. This was written in 1997. Talked about new strategies on US being the sole SuperPower. He suggested a "Pearl Harbor" type of attack would get US citizens to back "Preemptive strikes" to take over the Central Asia Region for Oil. Same Philosophy as Nazi Herman Goering quote. McCain staff has mentioned that an attack would help his campaign as well. remember that?

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: Oh, about the Philippines (I lived there also) the US was planning to make PI a Legitimate State of the Union like Colorado, etc. But the PI people was never an imminent threat to the US back then. but read up on that.

Paul doesn't want to reduce the size of our Military, but bring close all of them home to protect our physical borders. I'm going all over the place here, sry.

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: You know about Prescott Bush, I.G. Farben and Union Banking Trust during WWII? I.G. Farben produced ~35% Germany's War machine before and during WWII. And Union Banking Trust was a known Nazi Money Launderer. The Bush family has a long history of Fascism in their blood.

Fascism didn't die when the Nazi's lost in WWII, it just changed venues (US).

So, not just about the Iraq War, most of all of Preemptive Wars US was involved in that I've read so far. We haven't declared war since WWII

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: Was attacking Afghanistan planned b4 9/11? July 2001. 3 American Officials, Tim Simmons (former Ambassador to Pakistan), Karl Inderfurth, Lee Coldrum, met with Pakistan and Russian Intelligence officers in Berlin and tell them that the US is planning Military Strikes in Afghanistan on Oct. sometimes Taliban Reps sat in the meetings (source: The Guardian Sept. 22, 01, BBC Sept. 18, 01, The Inter Press Service in Pakistan, Nov. 16th 01)

Our military is used to start, provoke, not defend.

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: This continuing Arrogance that the USA is the Policeman of the World, will lead to more Lost of Civil Liberties, Bankrupting the US Economy, Losing our Sovereignty, Dissolution of the US Constitution and Our Freedom!

If you give up your Liberty for Security, You lose both!

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles:actually ILLEGAL immigration,open borders has stolen our sovereignty, not wars. Banning part of the 1st amendment by not allowing prayer in school (freedom of religious expression) and the city gun bans (2nd Amendment) have taken away civil liberties, more than any Patriot Act law has. Where were you lefties who "defend the constitution" when those laws went into place? Have you even read the Patriot Act? You do realize that Lincoln lifted habeas Corpus to enemies of state, right?

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: Wow! You're Actually Conservative. Only your Preemptive Strike Advocacy makes you a Neo-Con. I'm a Ron Paul Republican. I loathe those Socialist, Democrats as well. Yes! Wel-fare benefits to Illegals are a Huge Problem, Lost of Freedom of Religion in schools, gun bans etc. Not Wars in General but this recent War of Terror has accelerated the deterioration of our Civil Liberties. Yes I've read Patriot Act, HR 1955, and HR 2640. Yes, I know about Lincoln "Lincoln Unmasked" by DiLorenzo.

[pmango1000]

c1fuzzles; ok we agree on some things. question: are you only calling out the pre-emptive strike on Iraq(which is debatable) or ALL pre-emptives done by USA? I ask because I see many people seem to "care" about Iraqi deaths now, when more Iraqis died from sanctions, and I heard little from them then

[c1fuzzles]

pmango: Neo-Con = a Democrat dressed in Republican clothing. Speaking of Dems and some Neo-Cons in Congress, They gave up their power to declare War in a Joint Resolution to the Executive Branch. Slowly moving towards US to a Fascist Dictatorship and losing Check and Balances between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branch of government.

Let's end this dumb ass war.How can we let the rich suck up all our tax money on such bullshit.Our dollar is becoming worthless.Our bridges and roads falling apart.Middle class on the braking point.Americans walking the streets with rotting teeth and poor health.Lets make the world envy us not hate us.That is how you will change the world.Not with an iron fist.

Why is there so much hate from you guys?

Barney Fag....Barney Frank will never be the DNC VP or anything else! So, queer bait, STFU and quit bothering the other 95%+ of the population!

I understand that you're gay, but go to hell, and STFU!

[INDYANDY4C]

GFYS was for HomoGeneyes faggot.

[INDYANDY4C]

2 of McCain's sons are in Iraq and 1 is headded for San Diego right now. He knows war, his father, grandfather & great-grandfather knew war, his kids know it, & he knows war. NOBODY, I mean NOBODY hates war but a soldier (or sailor).

[AnonymousRepublican]

LOL...... BUNCH OF SILLYNESS!

[mithrandel111]

Why is that sillyness? This is the face of the people you "support" that are dying every day. Every time i speak to pro war conservitaves and tell that my experiences of service greatly contrast what social conservitaves THINK. They call me anti-american and non patriotic, irony.

[snarkwaupaca]

This Guy earned the right to be heard. If we can't hear him out we will not be as open as we promise. We are not Bush.

[jjoshaugh]

McCain seems to love war and hes a soldier... "Bomb bomb bomb Iran" anyone?

[fourjayshutalla]

first of all, his medals is not aligned they are crooked, he's a piece a crap four year lance corporal. i don't see a combat action ribbon on his chest. he must of sat on his ass on base the whole time he was in iraq and probably never left the wire. he just doing this just to get laid.

[INDYANDY4C]

He's a Lance Corporal (E-3) equal to Army PFC. I'm not sure if he is a real Marine or not. If he's an E-3 and can't line his medals up the right way, in a straight line, but I give the benefit of doubt to him. The L/Cpl should know better. I don't agree, but I'll beat anyone who wants to fight him for his words. We are citizens & we are soldiers; we have the real insight into any war, since nobody else has the balls.

McCain's sons all are Marines or sailors in harm's way. None are reired yet.

[INDYANDY4C]

GFYS!

[INDYANDY4C]

The PFC violated regs, but I support his right to stand up and speak his mind. Wear our meddals on another shirt and not in your blues, please. Name & rank on a placcard, but don't devalue the uniform, please.

As soldiers, we are a-political. Don't pull a Kerry. Speak up, but don't be disrespectful to the uniform or those who wear it. We have a million different points of view. WE ARE SOLDIERS FIRST. We die so that others may live in freedom. We are dead alredy; only our children survive.

this guy can say bye-bye to all those medals on his chest...the military personnel are expressly prohibited from any public involvement in a political event/campaign. now if they're not in uniform, it's good to go, but i'm pretty sure this guy violated that part of the regulations.

[downscale]

Gee, this doesn't seem like a plant... More Neo-Conservative Bullshit? Want an example? /watch?v=YEgHU6pS-tg

Yea...

[auamoti]

anti-war is not neo-con, watch your mouth.

[downscale]

No just some 'fodder' for McCain, is all.

Doing political stuff in uniform? Not kosher.

I agree with him, but you are not supposed to perform political actions in uniform, and he can get into real legal trouble for this sort of thing.

At least that's my understanding. I am neither a lawyer nor in the military.

[callieland]

odds are he's discharged. but to me the biggest hypocrisy of all is when those who browbeat us constantly to 'support the troops', wont even listen to a vet who wants people to know what his experiences and opinions are.

[AnonymousRepublican]

callie that's worth repeating.

[callieland]

easy there AR, i refer also to those on your side of the aisle (especially those). are you a true conservative? or are you one of these neocons who have perverted all of the traditional principled beliefs that were admirable even to a left leaner like myself?

[AnonymousRepublican]

Callie, Most republicans have become PERVERTS!! They are all PEEPING REPS.

They are peeping NOW.

YOU REPUBLICANS are PERVERTS!

[Navy62802]

[Organjic]

Send them to war and if they still have a voice to speak with, ignore it. NO TO OBAMA AND MCCAIN!

[maxbm]

You can bet your sweet ass that Obama didn't speak to this Marine.
