Rick Reye's full testimony before Congress on April 23, 2009.
Thanks to your efforts, we were able to bring Rick Reyes, a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, to Congress's attention. A former Corporal in the US Marines, Reyes was powerful and truthful as he told Senator John Kerry and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, "I urge you on behalf of truth and patriotism to consider carefully and rethink Afghanistan. More troops, more occupation is not the answer."
Reyes's testimony raises critical concerns that Congress must address before approving a massive supplemental war funding bill in the next few weeks. Let's work to halt this war funding bill by calling our Representatives, and urging them not to vote for it until all the questions raised in these hearings have been answered.

Yeah, but the Russians were nowhere near as militarily proficient as we are, and they had different goals and motivations. I'm getting really tired of people making this stupid comparison between us and the Russians. That does not mean I think we should stay in Afghanistan forever or even be there still, for that matter, but if people are going to opine on the subject they should do so in an informed manner, and not making stupid comparisons that are illogical and irrelevant.
Although Cpl. Rick Reyes' testimony was 5 months ago, it made a great impact on me when i learned that my youngest daughter joined the Army National Guard. Whatever her reasons for doing so, I believed that if she knew of the testimony, she would have reconsidered her decision.
Why? Serving in uniform is a privilege, regardless of who sits in the White House calling the shots. Your attitude is that of the typical bleeding heart who blames the military for the bad decisions made by worthless asswipes like Bush. Your daughter will become a better person and citizen for having served in uniform, as do 99% of the people who have the honor of serving in the military. Reyes has a very unfortunate way of painting U.S. troops as the bad guys, and he is wrong for doing that.
lol these are the same people who say its the head of a business that deserves the credit for its growth. yet when the business is failing, the first thing they do is layoff the people who put their backs into something that won't fill their wallets
