This has nothing to do with fox, the point he's making is valid and it's not his opinion, it's actual information from a cadet at West Point (if you listen to his intro.) I challenge any of you naysayers to be awake and constantly in class, meetings, or working out for 10 hours, sit for nearly four hours in a crowded theatre in a hot wool uniform, and then try to stay awake during a dry political speech, no matter how important or relevant it may be.

sworn an oath to the constitution. Please remember "the soldier above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." We certainly don't ask for your pity, nor even your respect, though many have sacrificed more than you know to earn it, but please don't rob us of our dignity and free will. Thank you.

@KSfan6 @KSfan6 1st, i gave 13 years as an als evac medic. i have my freedoms because of the constitution not because of soldiers in Iraq. I have my freedoms because of my tax $.This war is not to protect OUR freedom it is to liberate Iraqies who in fact do not want to live my our laws! If my government would shut its fkn mouth and stop trying to police the world then we wouldn't have these problems. You will see the truth someday as I did after 13 years of lies.I have plenty of friends Thanks!

@KSfan6 who are you again? Thats right you'r nobody!! why don't you kiss my ass. I feel great about myself. when you are done kissing my ass, you can go sit down and shut the hell up! We should have let those fucking animals kill each other the way they have for 1000 years. now the scum rat pakis can drown like pieces of shit being flushed down the toilet. Does that hurt your feelings? were will these soldiers work when they come back? that's right, nowhere cuz we are bankrupt thanks to this war

@wph1138 u need to just step the fk back and not say nothin at all if you're gonna talk down on people in the armed forces. i hope you feel good about yourself

@Csardeen Give me a fkn break. They have done nothing for our "Freedoms" at all. Either have any of the Iraq soldiers. They are destroying a country at a staggering cost to American tax payers for NOTHING AT ALL. Iraq's don't want us there. We have made that country 20 times worse. We were already free and Iraq never challenged our freedoms in any way.I dont owe our soldiers anything. I am paying with taxes out the ass for this war. i only respect the people like teachers, firemen. surgeons.

The hot air is referring to the climate inside Eisenhower Hall. I've been there during the winter--it is a warm place, which is why some cadets nodded off.

Fox News makes me sleepy.

[shahen13]

Fox News should change their name to Rupert Murdoch's sensationalizing and fear mongering money making machine by taking advantage of the illiterate and stupid News!!!

[ShowtimeLakers87]

Wow some people seem to be getting pretty upset in these comments. Fuck all the cable networks. Bullshit news, all of them!

Another tinhatter who can only try to make a point by using the weapon of the witless: profanity.

Are you able to hold a regular conversation? Or is your grasp of English so poor you have to rely on vulgarity to make a point.

I don't discourse with fools and idiots.

Bye.
