I am sick and tired of mothers trying to run the military.

I am sick and tired of armchair generals thinking they can do it better.

I am sick and tired of Congress showing weakness to the world.

I am sick and tired of protesters making us question what we are fighting for.

I am sick and tired of civilians thinking they are the only ones that pay taxes.

I am sick and tired of parents who think their kid should walk across the stage even though they didn't graduate.

I am sick and tired of people blaming one man instead of the 77 who agreed.

I am sick and tired of you.

I am sick and tired of fighting for a nation that no longer deserves the rich history it's forefathers have bestowed upon it.

I am sick and tired.

Morning Soldier,

You know, I cannot even phathom what you all are going through on a daily basis over there.

However, I must say this...

Dont you think our troops were saying the same thing in WWI? II? Vietnam? Gulf Storm?

There was resistance to the wars then as now.

How can you say you are sick and tired of fighting?

Did you not choose to join the Marines? Did you know that the chance of a war was part of the job?

I tell you what I am tired of...

I am tired of soldiers like you complaining where you are.

Did you think you all were going to go to boot camp and get a free education on my dime?

I'm sorry. I dont mean to sound so brash. It just gets to a point where I have to let it out.

You dont like it, go AWOL. All of you go AWOL.

See what happens then...

This country needs an enema!!!

Okay pal first off. I didn't even sign on for the GI bill. I didn't even take a bonus for extending my contract to go back to Iraq for my third COMBAT TOUR that was offered to me because I didn't want OUR GODDAMN tax dollars. Thats right EVERYONE MILITARY PAY TAXES TOO! If you want I'll even post a copy of my LES up here and highlight the part where it says I don't have the GI Bill.
Secondly, If you think I'm tired of fighting this war then you probably failed miserably when it came to reading comprehension. Clearly stated is the fact that I am tired of fighting for a bunch of self righteous, self-centered, greedy,ignorant know it alls who can do everything in the world better than those who are presently doing it, yet have trouble paying your [...] rent.
Thirdly. I have cut my teeth and watched by brothers die in the mountains of Afghanistan and the streets of Iraq of my own goddamn free will. I knew what my job entailed and I returned fire with a mother [...] smile on my face [...]. I'm going to do it again and again too until this war is over or I die first.
So don't sit there and tell me to go AWOL WHEN YOUR SITTING ON YOUR [...] PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT.

Look "Pal"...

I am not going to argue with you. Your comment back to me certainly shows you have anger issues.

You cannot accept the fact that there are people in this country who do not support the war.

I am sorry you are going through all this. I didnt do it to you.

So, dont take it out on me, soldier. I replied to your post.

I can only wish you the best...Keep up the good fight...

mother are not trying to run the military they are trying to save a son. Congress is not weak they was lied to and what are we fighting for. our forefathers didn't want us to fight a war over a lie. if we wanted to help people it was more country that needed help (ie) Sudan oh but they don't have that much oil. don't be blind look around 2003 and no WMD and Bush can't say i was wrong and youngmen keep getting killed for what for people that was fighting before Moses walked the earth.........

This is where I agree...

That is why the democrats dont want to fund any longer. They want Bush to freaking admit he lied to the American people and soldiers.

Iraq didnt fly the planes on 9/11.

Bush had to try to finish "daddy's" business.

And he is failing miserably at that.

Look where we are...

No end in sight to these men coming home.

I am not a soldier. I didn't get stress cards when I went through boot camp. I don't call officers by their first names. I know how to employ my weapons systems. I am a Marine.
I accept the fact that there are people opposed to the war. I am fine with that. Presumptious people are what irritate me. Ignorant people are what irritate me. ( I have worked with soldiers in combat, I'm not being presumptious)
I don't have anger issues. I have issues with people who are rude and assume that I'm some [...] that joined to go to school. Have a nice day DH.

You know what is happening? The people who would fly the next set of planes into buildings... guess where they are. They're in Iraq. Getting killed, getting thrown in jail.
Imagine that... a country using a military to fight it's enemies and keep them away from it's homeland. Wow.

I disagree...

Iraq was never a threat to us.

Why didnt we target Iran, China or North Korea? They have been threatening nuclear weapons on us for years.

Why didnt we soley focus on Afghanistan after 9/11? Why hasnt Bin Laden been found yet?

It's ludicrous...We will not win this war...We have painted ourselves in a very bad light around the world.

Wait till we might need help. Who are we going to call? Canada? Mexico?

I mean you know that we didn't catch guys from the IRA, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Chechnya, Saudi Arabia, Yemen... you know that. I was just having another flight of fancy I guess. I must of been dreaming about all those guys. We were probably just arresting or killing regular average joes who had RPG's, PKM's, RPK's, H&k's and all sorts of other goodies.

Yea, you can be patronizing all you want.

This is what happens when you pro-war folks get spoon fed your own garbage.

No comment on anything I mentioned, just garbage. Kinda funny.

Keep skirting...

That's all the people that have a hard-on for this war do.

They cannot accept the facts...

The facts are that we were not threatened by Iraq. We were told by the UN to stay away. We defied them and made up all this garbage about the WMD's so our selfish president could make his mark.

Well, he thought it was going to be easy. Isnt turning out that way afterall is it?

Now we are stuck...

Why wont you answer my questions about the other countries?

I know why...

because there's no north korean's that are going to fly a plane into a building... they're using the whole nuke thing as a trump card to get money because their economy is down the pooper.
Lets take a look at china. Hmm only like 1.3 billion of those guys. I can't possibly imagine why we didn't just jump into a war with those fellas. That would of went good for us so fast..
Iran... well we gotta talk to those goobersmacks first ya know.
Funny how you just completely ignore what I said...
Oh.. right.. you've been there.

leonidas50,
I'm giving you a standing ovation my friend. Not every American feels the way Pov does. Keep up the good work of keeping our country safe. People like Pov have never been where you've been. They've never seen this enemy first hand. I'm amused at how they have all the answers though. LOL

Oh, so we talked to Iraq? When? I didnt see Bush or Rice go over there and try to talk to them asking them to put away their bad toys.

Please tell me when we spoke to them before we went in and attacked?

As far as China and NK, ok, you might have me there. However, sounds like to me we like to pick on smaller countries. Oh, that makes us a punk.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! EUREKA!!!

I didnt ignore anything you said...You wanna use all your little army aronyms us common joe's know nothing about, you go ahead if it makes you feel better.

Say it in english and I may comment.

You know, I never expressed I had all the answers. How ignorant of a comment.

I am giving opinions...

You people around here fail to realize what an opinion is.

You want all the warm and fuzzies because you are there.

I am sorry, I dont support the war. Never have and never will.

Doesnt make me less of an American.

It's ok...I need to go to work now anyway to support my family.

It's been real...

H&k is a german arms manufacturer who makes a lot of fine fire arms. Props to you fellas.

Doesn't even know a few basic weapons the enemy uses.. but oh you know we're losing the war. Go get elected. Till then work on that retirement fund bud.
