  • God Bless you son. Thank you for your service

  • ooorah

  • IT IS THE SOLDIER It is the Soldier, not the Reporter, who has given us Freedom of the Press. It is the Soldier, not the Poet, who has given us Freedom of Speech. It is the Soldier, not the Lawyer, who has given us the Right to a Free Trial. It is the Soldier, who salutes the Flag, who serves under the Flag, and whose coffin is draped by the Flag, who allows the Protestor to burn the Flag. Author Unknown
  • @50TNCSA truly amazing quote.

  • Community organizers know how to organize stupid people to form mobs. This young man knows the value of Freedom and Honor, something the protestors will never know. I'd rather die with heros than live amongst cowards .

  • Long live Eamon Kelly and all the US Marines.

  • Like keawe04 said they'll never understand. Semper fi

  • These guys do the work that only less than 1% of this country's population has the balls to do.

  • I have a great life free of violence and tyranny free to do what I want. Free to enjoy my life and eat mcdonalds and go to movies with my girlfriend. Because some man or woman is taking bullets for me and my loved ones I detest movies where our military is fools or idiots and where killing our soldiers is alright. Disgusting and nearly unforgivable disrespect some show to our soldiers. Our brothers and sisters who fight for us deserve so much more then the contemptible scorn from this lot

  • Notice how polite clam and even respectfully of those people protesting him and all of our military. This young man who serve us with pride and dignity while we are sleeping in our little pjs eating pizza or McDonald, He and others are fighting for us. Not for the government but for they people and they loved ones. The fight for the friends and brothers and sisters they make in the service as well. It is something simple different about our military it has a culture all its own. Thank you sir.

  • Whoa. WHOA! where's your fresh haircut there SERGEANT! lol. THAT is the real issue here.... hahaha. Marines: Fighting what YOU fear since 1775.

  • Were on your side SGT. Kelly

  • I fight for the man next to me... period! Sad they will never understand. Semper fi

  • True liberals support the troops, no matter what.

  • @sandinista420 lmao

  • Ha. They really brought up 9/11. Not the soldier. I'm talking about the voices in the backround.

  • now this is a man and true hero... there's a saying i love- as far as america is concerned- you love it, or by God you leave it!

  • This is a good man.

  • Do u people realize that your hated Saddam was SUPPORTED by the US during the 1980s???

  • @saintofconsequence you mean Osama Bin Laden. We funded him and gave him weapons when the russians invaded.

  • All u pro war people should look up Noam Chomsky videos and see how terroristic the US gov and military are. You all know more than Chomsky?

  • @jesseinbuffalo Right, whatever you say you Marxist Stormtrooper, keep fighting the fascist, communist, bigotry induced, hate speech war at home, we'll we will keep this goddamned country safe from the people you protect and love so much.

  • f you don't stand behind our military, especially Marines, feel free to stand in front of them.

  • @jesseinbuffalo leave our country then Marines are a major part of keeping this country safe we are nor brainwashed we just no reality and no how to deal with it unlike u liberal dooshbags that dont no ur head from a hole in the groung if anyone is brain washed its these people and u go fuck yourself and y dont you go live some where else and see how much u like it. dumb fuck

  • @jrrdking Spoken like a brainwashed american sheep...very predictable. Thanks for fighting for that oil. You are a patriot for corporate america.

  • @jesseinbuffalo get out.....

  • @jesseinbuffalo Talk about brainwashed. You've been watching cnn too much. Nut job

  • code pink pussies dont deserve the right to be called americans

    

  • code pink pussies dont deserve the right to be called americans

  • Sic vis pacum parabelum..in order for peace prepare for war. This man is a true American any of these hippie protesters sat down with him and talked I bet theyd c things differently. He is right these kids are brainwashed by professors that have bullshit ideals and have been pampered all there life they dont no reality. Do they not remember 911 do they not realize befor we interviened saddam would throw u in a blender for the "Ideals these people protest for" scum on the shoes or real Americans

  • When will liberals understand that to have peace you have to prepare for war. The marines are our bravest soldiers that protect all of us and you liberals have the audacity to insult them. You liberals better watch out because you all are insulting a lot of good Americans with your so called tolerance for everyone. Why aren't conservatives deserving of your so called tolerance? You all do the opposite of everything that is moral then claim you all are so genius. You all don't deserve America!

  • LIBERALS, YOU ARE RUINING OUR COUNTRY.

  • its because of the marines tht we can sleep without fear every night

  • When the next big conflict comes around, the world and these people will be the first to call on the armed services to save them! Semper Fi until i die!

  • i have so much respect for marines and every one who is fighting for are freedom .....me myself im joining the marines and my opinion is to have freedom you have to fight for it cause it wont come by its self and thats what are military is doing fighting for it so we could have the freedom. . so this ignorant dumb fucks liberals dont understand what are military is doing over there they are helping the people and protecting them so they have the same freedom as we do . . . so hurrah

  • I'd date this guy if I could, I have alot of respect for him and anyone like him. He is a marine and shows alot of respect for his mother (which's a turn on regardless of military status or not).

  • if you hear closely you can hear people argue in the background about 9-11 lol!

  • much respect devil dog!

    furture marine here! joinin in 2 years!

  • ya know if we stopped all together in less than a day we would b over run...they dnt get tht

  • i think we should lease berkley to russia for a year or two

  • @PawneeSavage Russia? they should split it between china, burma, and somolia!

  • @PawneeSavage more like north korea

  • @gabrielschembri yea north korea sounds good

  • major respect 4 the U.S Marines... nd im not even American... but hopefully my greencard will come soon then i can join...

  • @brazuca711 you need to be a citizen to join.

  • @walkerorr Actually, you don't need to be a citizen to join.

  • If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin. (Samuel Adams)

  • Welcome to 2010. Obama,

  • true American hero

  • OH yeah, the flat above me had a Code Pinker living there...screaming everynight, loud music, crying, drugheads. It was sooo fun flattening that bitches tires every week.....

  • @boneyfreak2004 lol you really did that?

  • I swear Berkeley,Ca must have the highest percentage of mentally unstable people in the country bar Vacaville,Ca prison there....

    After living in Berkeley for 25 months it was so nice to finally get to leave there. What a craphole city. Bums, gangs, hookers, drugs dens, professional hippies, wannabe hippies, professional students abound there. Unless you stay locked at home there you will just go mad.

  • That's it right there. That's how parents should stand behind their kids who enlist. Be proud of what they have chosent to do and support them every step.

    This woman and those like her are the real force behind every airman, seaman, marine and soldier.I feel sorry for the soldiers who gave their lives willingly only for their parents to disrespect their memory.That is what they are doing when they protest saying their child died for nothing.Their child didn't think they were dying for nothing.

  • It's not them that we are fighting for.

  • "this hurts me more than the pain in my back"

    indeed

  • Im a marine 0311 and i feel a need to fight and protect my country and my brothers it hard not to just beat the piss out of these liberals who do nothing for this country, why dont thay fight for something that is worth fighting for

  • I was in the navy into boot camp but was considered mentally unfit for it. I dearly congratulate any armed service member, and I am truly sorry that I could not join you

  • Those like myself who chose to be Marines dont look to provoke others, we dont need to. We are proud of what we have done and who we are. I will never be bated by a liberal to lose my cool to prove there point. But I rather see a liberal lose theres to prove mine. Marines already know they are brave, we dont have to prove it by screaming and shouting at protesters, we know true sacrafice

  • Actually thats the exact reason your fighting...freedom of speech,or are you not too crazy about the first amendment?

  • what im not too crazy about is assholes like him abusing that right.

  • i think you blame the gov't for everything but not the soldiers, i mean really they give up so much for us, i think we should go fight the gov't and not our troops

  • i dont believe in borders so i think no one is.

  • cop out...pussy

  • tsk tsk, it is sad that you people dont have a better argument then to insult your opponent, no wonder obama won the election.

  • Again you see me as a communist, i believe in some socialist and communist ideas

    right out of your own filthy mouth....

    you belong in north korea with thew rest of you like minded assholes.

  • god damn you people are more stupid then I thought, no wonder people think all americans are idiots.

  • gay people can adopt children, and the soviet union had better rights for everyone, these land belonged to native americans, then europeans came and took it by force, and you don't see anything wrong with that.

  • Well why dont the illegal immigrants try to take our land by force? They know theyll lose. And who wants to be adopted by gay people, poor kids are gunna have gay parents, and in the soviet union its not free, you cant have a gun, you cant buy the car you want, and everybody gets the same pay

  • that guy is a hero

  • dont support the radical communists or neo cons in this country u dont have to be either one... support the constitution and bill of rights!!!!

  • We're gonna make those f#%&ing liberals pay. They'll never understand. WE FIGHT WHAT YOU FEAR! Dumb#%& democrats/liberals.

  • the only thing u fight for is your greed for money u imperialist pig.

  • Hey SirJason141 go live in france u un american piece of shit!!!

  • american piece of shit? U LIVE IN AMERICA U DUMB SON OF A BITCH

  • I said "UN" american piece of shit! Learn to read u commie facist!

  • fascism has nothing to do with communism, unless ur talkin bout stalinism, but u wouldnt know what i'm talkin about cause ur an ignorant fuck

  • Get the fuck outta here you commie fuck. Your profile says you live in the United States, just know that what he fought for was your rights and freedoms to live your life in a peaceful and wonderful country

  • lol, freedom, rights, this country has hardly all the rights that we profess to the world, for example

    gay rights

    immigrant rights

    race rights

    i honor those who fight and die, but this country is hardly seen as peaceful after invading Iraq.

    Again you see me as a communist, i believe in some socialist and communist ideas but i dont in a radical way like the USSR did.

  • You dont know how good these rights are till you go to a communist country, here in this country we have plenty rights, we can vote for our presidents, we choose what we want and what we dont want, we can also have a gun, second amendment right. All because of the troops that fought for this country, thank them for living a peaceful and comfortable life

  • did u even read my reply, not everyone has all these rights, your not one of those people that rant but don't make any good points of there side are you? I said i respect the troops for christ sake. Have you ever been to a communist country, maybe you should go and see how it is.

  • We have all the rights we need, gay people have their rights, if they want to be respected, dont show dont tell. Race rights are also good, we have a black president, and immigration rights are fine, its just that we dont want illegals, we want legal immigrants that are gunna be doing good for our country, all these rights because of our troops. I dont have to go to a communist country because i appreciate our troops and our rights.

  • gay people cant get married in most states, and the fact that we have a black president means we have made a small step into being a more equal in this country but only a little, as for illegals they have as much right to be here this country was founded this way. and what is wrong with spending a little time outside the states? You really think going to a communist country will disrespect the troops?

  • @LilATL94 Uh, don't stereotype democrats and liberals, just makes you look ignorant.

  • @LilATL94 Not Democrats. Thats just a political view, there are plenty of marines who are democratics

  • Semper Fi

  • @Marine8994 DO OR DIE!!

  • @Marine8994 do or die

  • He seems like a good Marine... I bet under other circumstances, he would rather trade that flag in for an m16a4 and let freedom ring that way!

  • They need to take a good look at him, hes wounded and they are doing this

    Semper Fi

  • how? by not occupying foreign lands? Is Sweden fu$3ed? How about Costa Rica? Get over your American pride. It isn't supported by the actions of our government or military.

  • Comment removed

  • you missed my point

    i didn't say that if America doesn't control the world we would all be fucked i said

    America and other nations have caused so many problems that things isn't looking bright for everyone

    and if any one was wondering i am an American.

  • my reply was to islandersfan64.  sorry i wasn't more clear.

  • no worries man

  • If it wasn't for the everyday man who is a civilian working everyday the marines wouldn't be able to receive their precious weapons. I am sick n tired of Veterans thinking that they reach higher status than others because they served in war. Marines say they if it wasn't for them America and her freedoms wouldn't exist this is also true for America's civilians.

  • marines deserve a higher status then your everyday mill worker because yes the average joe is responsible for the industry of america but if you take a good long look it takes a lot more balls to fight evil then to give some other guy a rock to fight evil

  • Ya if it wasn't for the Industrial class we couldn't make the *Rock* and give it to a some else to fight. Its also too the success of the Industrial class that is able to kept the military paid for, keeping it running and producing supplies. All branches of the Military Wouldn't even have as much strength as it does now if the Industrial class haven't been so successful. All i am saying is that both groups should thank each other If it wasnt for either group the other wouldn't exist as powerful.

  • so from your stand point, we should praise the owners of Glock, and Smith & Wesson, rather then, say, police officers who put their life on the line every day. does that sound as stupid to you as it does to me?

  • I didnt say praise them nor praise the military i said each group is equally in debt with the other or praise each other equally. I thank cops a lot and are glad they are around but you brought a completely different group in this argument. they to are as equally in debt as to the military and industry or researchers other service providers like firemen and government. Every group couldnt get along with the others. This is called a society or economy Every one equally important to this nation.

  • What is with people saying they are brainwashed

    ....i mean come on just because one doesn't share the same opinion as as oneself don't mean they are brain washed.

  • Have you seen some of the hate at these rallies. These kids hate our service men. WTF this isn't a diffrence of opinion this is BS. Guys with bull horns ralling crowds of kids whom don't even know WTF there mad about. Yes they do seem brainwashed these are our soldiers. They leave there families and lives to make sure we don't have to deal with another 9/11 what have you done to ensure that.......Nothing. Get mad at the politicians not the defenders of your life.

  • our politicians are dumb asses lol

  • On that I can agree, Our politicians are dumb asses. Example while our economy was starting to slip down the drain they where bitching about holding hearings and publicly crying about steroids in baseball. If that is not dumb then I don't know what is.

  • same old shit!

  • Semper Fi, Sarge, and thank you.

  • god bless this brave man.

  • SGT Kelly, my hat goes off to you and this is coming from a Lance Corporal who's been to Al Asad, Iraq and I agree with you but they just dont get it. We go thru the worst and these liberal freak dont appreciate it. SEMPER FI SGT!!

    -LCPL Johnson of Okinawa, Japan (Camp Foster)

  • Hey, I was stationed at Kadena for nine years, from 1997-2006; now in Korea. Miss the hell out of Oki!

  • remember not because he had to because we want to, nobody forced us service members to enlist, we signed the contract not you

  • code pink are not protesting the air raids on innocent people in Afghanistan by an inept president BO because they are a fake grassroots organization.

    I NEED A BAILOUT FROM LIBERALISM.........

  • Hell yeah you tell that little fucking twat!

  • you tell em sarge dont ever let those ignorant liberal bastards tell you what you did over in iraq was wrong, you guys are the real celebrities of America

  • if he is a marine, he is automatically brainwashed.. the first step in brainwashing marines is to teach them that killing is nothing special and not to think about it.. that makes him a murderer because marines are not defending homeland but take actions abroad what makes them occupators.. looks like that his country already fuc..d up his back.. this young kid should read books instead of fighting in iraq where he was deployed on a base of a lie that Iraq has WMD which it didnt posess.. too bad

  • GO FUCK YOURSELF. YOU LIBERAL HIPPIE

  • then if they werent taught that way IF THEY WERE AS U SAY, then they wouldnt be very combat effective and god forbid u hollywood pricks couldnt amke ur damn movies you would just be compalining marines werent tehre to help you

  • This guy has courage speaking out in todays animal farm. We get GI bill money to attend Universities that are staffed by the enemy. It makes me sick, what happened to just getting an education?

    These radical leftists need to be removed from teaching positions. The damage they are doing to this nation by destroying all of our secondary educational institutions is far worse tha Osama could ever hope for. They seek to make us all ignorant, and incapable of bettering our own lives.

  • Ooorah Sgt! Thank you for having the intestinal fortitude to stand up for what you believe. I agree 110% with you.

    Semper Fidelis

    Doc Eddie

  • this guy has class, im glad he does and understands what liberals are doing.

    SIEMPER FI!

  • My son just returned from Iraq. He's 34 years old. I drove to Ft Bragg to pick him up and bring him home. On the way back, he told me: "Dad, of all the accomplishments I've had in my 34 years, this was the one thing that made me the proudest". I couldn't be more proud of him. If I wasn't driving, I would have hugged the snot out of him.

  • your son is a patriot. and I am jealous that I am not yet able to serve.

  • Thank you and may God bless!

  • Sgt you are 100% correct all of my schools teachers are liberals and preach to us their bullshit. And most of them are to stupid to see past their lies

  • Berkeley should be taken off the map and not defended by our Marines. But no, if those stupid liberal women were to be taken hostage or attacked, those fucking bitches would be singing a different tune rather than disrespecting the very people that made it possible for them to have their rights, And those Marines would still go and save those stupid whining Liberals or DIE trying..Fucking retards. Just more proof there are too many people in this world with nothing else to do.

  • I think along with building the fence on our US/Mexico border we should build one around Berkley to keep all the freaks in. (or maybe at least somehow sink California to the bottom of the ocean.)

  • it seems like to be liberal just means to complain and be against their country. Here in germany most people are not even proud of Germany and are even ashamed to be seen flying a German flag. instead they complain about their country and hate on it just like liberals in America. have some appreciation for once!!

  • Watching this video, is like reliving the Vietnam War. Have we not learned from our past? People in America are allowed to have different views. Thats what makes this Country great. But for God sake, show some tolerance like this Marine has! God Bless You Sgt. !

  • Thank you.

  • Semper Fi!!!

  • OORAH!

  • This marine is a prime example of how wrong code pink and WCW are. They think all marines are mindless killing machines. HAHAHA. I was a Navy Corpsman, (medic who fights beside marines). I've met more intelligent Marines than college educated individuals. The difference between a Marine and a Civilian? Active duty Marines can't make their opinion known. We may not agree with the war but it's our job to fight, so we do our job.

    SEMPER FI MARINES.

  • God Bless this man!

  • God Bless Sgt Eamon and his mother

  • Seek the truth and do some research. All wars are based on deception. The media is owned by banksters who routinely spin propaganda. They profit from war as a power grab. Read the constitution as it has been subverted and perverted by the present administration.

  • Prove it.

  • oh thats just not fair!!

    asking a liberal to actually back up their grandstanding with facts like that, shame on you lmao, you should know its an impossibility outside of the occasional made up statistic lol

  • love his comment about things not being black and white. Maybe he's quietly a moderate Democrat :-)

  • because there's no such thing as a moderate republican?

  • Florida: moderate Republicans haven't been popular in these last eight years. The foam at the mouth idealogue Rightists have been at the forefront.

    I'll slam down a beer with a moderate Republican any day of the week, and spend an hour talking about common, shared beliefs. The ideologues are a cheap pain in the ass...you condede a point, they think you're being converted to their POV. Those guys can go to hell.

  • I'm VERY VERY conservative, but I dont froth at the mouth about, I can sit down and have a rationale conversation with someone i disagree with, and i can flat out set politics aside

    It's just the people like The World Can't Wait and Code Pink that drive me mad

  • Florida: well, bro, they're not my cup of tea, either. They do more harm to their cause by acting like idiots. Assuming I believe the far right are loonies, the correct answer is not to fight loony with more loony...but with calm rationality. Over a beer or five (LOL).

  • Stupid Berkley Fuckers will be crying out to the military for help if there was a natural disaster or a terrorist attack.

  • ZB try doing some research for the truth before calling other people stupid.

  • I know most of the people commenting here agree with me, but for those of you who dont and dont think we should be at war. here's a little info for yall to look up.

    How do you explain the 550 tons of yellow cake uranium, 2 tons of enriched uranium and presence of Cesium-137 and Cobalt-60 at Al-Tuwaitha?

    If yall can explain that, then please let me know. Yeah, I didn't think so.

  • They can't explain it, they only see what they want to see.

  • Exactly. Or better yet, they only see and believe what they want to believe. People pay too much attention on what goes on on youtube. haha I could make a video of me going to to mars. (of course it wouldn't really be me on mars) but I can gaurantee you that ALOT of people would believe it.

  • Wait a second, you went to Mars!?

  • Haha yeah, I'll post the video. :P I'm sure there will be a conspiracy about that too.. haha

  • well said wittlesbach.

  • I support our troops and their missions. Our brave men and women in the U.S. military deserve our deep respect and tremendous gratitude. Where would we be without our military? God bless the U.S. service men and women, wherever they are in the world! They keep us all safe and free.

  • People are people wherever you go. Our campuses are littered with liberal fucks too.

  • Eamon, God Bless You good sir

  • hey daspug...

    have you served?

    NO

    Shut your mouth then and stop hiding behind a monitor acting like you speak for the troops.

  • i didnt see any speaking for the military in there. he said code pink sucks and go us military.

  • he said it's great when liberals die?

    pissing on peoples graves?...this kind of extremism is why our country is so divided right now.

    K-thanx

  • Code Pink will die. US Military rocks! All the haters can go to hell LOL! Hey liberals, go watch your terrorist friends get blown up by Apache helos hahaha. It's great when liberals/hippys die, I'll piss on their grave and call it "art". Losers

  • Just to clarify not all people in Berkeley oppose the military. Alot of us support you, no matter what side of the political spectrum we fall on. Let that be known.

  • There are people out their that want America obliterated off the map but yet people who live in the same country fight amongst each other.

    Yeah this country really deserves to be "free" or what ever illusion you American's believe in now a days. Bottom line is I love America but I HAT AMERICANS!

    Semper Fi Marines!

  • God bless our military, god bless our President(prime minister) and God bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    xoxoxooxoxooxoooxoxoxooxoxoxox­ooxoxooxoxoxooxoxo

    P.s Those of you who do not support the military should be broken down into oil in order to fuel our weapons.

    Harsh, but true- these men and women keep your country free, and you owe them your lives, least of all some respect.

  • This guy is good, but he needs to understand not everybody is suppose to just agree with what military does. they are not perfect. I support code pink.

  • Yes, everyone is supposed to agree with what the military does.

    What you should have said is "People are not perfect, so not all of them are intelligent enough to agree with what the military does".

  • Excuse you, no not everyone is suppose to agree with what military does, how DARE you say that, just like the fucking military, always thinking everyone should just agree with you. Jackass, that is not how it should be, support Code Pink Not the troops. Support the troops means supporting terror, because they choose to re enlist and fight this illegal war.

  • You are the scum of the earth. How dare you forsake our troops like that.

  • Hey if you dont like it, get out of this country. If you cant handle people like me. haha. Gosh, just because i disagree with military you think I am scum and i should die. why dont you go to iraq and walk in front of the so called "enemy". you call them enemy, i call them counter freedom fighters.

  • these so called "freedom fighters" you talk about hate America and Americans and what they stand for and that includes you.

  • please grow the hell up, only children think there could ever be world peace, being an adult means you have to except reality, next time someone attacks our country let us line up all these code pink people and similar groups and let them be the front line, let them get killed off swo the rest of us can stand and fight for our beloved country

  • Your wrong! Supporting the troops means you want them to come home alive, healthy mentally and physically. I don't support the war but I believe we need a military to protect or country from extremist like the ones who crashed in to the twin towers. War should only happen if there is oppression happening not war profiteering. And the war on Iraq started because of war profiteering and bush wanted to make a name for himself and he did "the worst president of the US".

  • you are so wrong. Some times war is necessary to prevent people from crashing in to towers. In the technological age we live in today, these EXTremist GOVERNMENTS are a threat to the world. Iran is building Nukes, should we just sit by and let them build them? Hell NO, because if we do they will use them, or sell them to hezbola and they or Iran will use them. Same song second verse from Iraq. Iraq HAD WMDs Hussain used thm on his own people, Now imagine a regime like that with a nuke.

  • Issmech, if the U.S. and the other members of the Coalition Forces had not invaded Iraq and had not toppled Saddam Hussein, that is exactly what we would have today--Saddam Hussein with nuclear weapons.  We were right to go to war with Iraq and remove Saddam Hussein. We were right to go ahead with the troops surge. We are right to keep troops in Iraq until the job is done. God bless our troops and their missions!

  • Standing Ovation to you wittlesbach. You are absoultly right.

  • I agree with both of you, the only thing that angers me about the war is that our original reasons for going in were never really told to the populace. but there should have still been more support for the war effort. I personally wish the tragedy that was the civilian response to Vietnam hadnt happened, i think there would be a lot more respect for servicemen if it hadnt, and respect is exactly what every man in uniform deserves!

  • As horrible as the hippie treatment of our servicemen was, there was a backlash and now outside of the main liberal bastions, our military is held in very high regards

    The biggest tragedy of vietnam was the massacre that happened after we pulled out (as Ted Kennedy wanted) and which was ignored in large part by the bleeding heart hypocrite liberals who whine about every death in Africa they can find

    And they refused to learn from history, they're advocating for another pullout, and a massacre

  • Floridanon: funny, I was gonna say the lesson we failed to learn was invading another country that doesn't want us there. Not to mention learning that other people don't always consider us the good guys like we know we are (no sarcasm, btw). Not to mention guerilla warfare and a citizenry allied with the enemy.

    I take it you never went to combat in Vietnam, let alone combat of any kind?

    STILL say "hats off to our military", though. Opposing the war ain't opposing the troops.

  • No, I haven't gone into combat yet, I'm a Marine Corps poolee waiting for my spot in BRC to open up so i can ship out to boot camp, and I WANT to go to Iraq or Afghanistan.

    The thing is, the insurgents USED to have the citizens on their side, but then the Anbar Awakening (thanks to a proto-type of Petraeus' strategy carried out by the Marines in Anbar province) happened, and the citizens are now turning in those insurgents

    the majority of the country likes us now

  • floridanon, thank you in advance for your servce,, I don't even know you, but you make me proud, as I am sure your family is of you.... Semper Fi Marine...... PS>>> You hit him with fact, and they do not know how to respond to that.....

  • code pink are a bunch of looney tunes, who do not appriciate anything that the u.s.a has given them! they should all be shipped off to canada, we are big and strong and we need to defend that, code pink should be charged with treason! some members of c.p. have said if there was no police, we would have no crime! what fools
