Eight more days and a stop loss would have been issued and he'd probably still be in today. He is currently in the Air Force Reserves and was activated for a year but he was lucky, he only had to live an hour away for seven of those months and spent the other five in Spain. I am thankful everyday that he is home safe.

Personally, I have the utmost respect for grunts and the utmost contempt for the politicians who send them into harm's way. In terms of our national interest, there is no need for any of our best and finest to be involved in Iraq's civil war - other than Dubya's ego. If the folks in Washington haven't figured out by now, Islam, not "radical Islam", is the enemy, and if anyone has any doubts, when was the last time you heard any of mainstream Islam condemn the actions of the "radicals"?

The kids being sacrificed in Iraq aren't dying for their county, they're dying for Bush and Exxon. Damn a bunch of politicians!

solidrockshoer OFFLINE Admin Posts: 12874 Thank you received: 2 Karma: -1	I just came back from a friends tonight who is a farrier as well and has taught me a lot, he just got back from Iraq. I was glad to see he was okay and to hear how much the people over there love to have the troops around them. Also glad to hear he was kicking butt too. Funny how the media plays it up to sound like we're always loosing. Thanks Baron.

For sure ,a very moving group of pictures and titles. My highest regards to all the fighting men and women wherever they may be. Please don't loose site that this project was /is a propoganda statement. I say so because if you noticed it never mentioned women, it always refered to the masculine, it never refered to the sites that are censured by the administration and cannot be shown, like the caskets coming off the planes, yet it mentioned some sites not seen by the viewer but observed by the forces.

Now I may sound unAmerican if you choose to twist it that way, I well remember returning from Americas past debacle in 1970 and being spat upon, but..... I realized that the spitters were just so fed up with the lies that their government told them that they needed to put their vengence some place, and I was the governments agent.

As i said at the beginning, I offer my highest respect to all the American fighting forces, but I have a little problem falling in line ,goosestepping , and swallowing the grape juice that this and other administrations have handed out while they do "business as usual" based upon lies. My highest regards also to those who excersise their rights to protest and to point out the folly.

regards

Ray Steele

My oldest brother retired after 18 years in the Air Force. I currently have two brothers and a step brother in the Dessert and another one that left Saturday for 14 months. To hear people like you all talk the way you have; makes me feel prouder than ever. Thank you. It means a lot.

I do not toute what they do because they are low key and say, "just doing our job." The feelings I have, well up inside of me when I hear the gracious words that have been spoken. My emotions cannot be summed here online.

Thank you.
