It is great to see that this board is totally different than what you see in the world today. Being in the Army I have seen a lot of people bad mouthing the military but when they find out that I am in the military they start eating their words. I joined a little after 9/11 and if it wasn't for the Marines, Air Force, Army, Navy, and all military branches the United States wouldn't be the way it is today.

Hit it on the head to. We have a lot of people commited to operations on foriegn soils. Their working together to get the job done ensures mission accomplishment. I wish my fellow service members regardless of if they are Marine Green or not the best of luck and god speed. Congtas on a job well done. And thak everyone for their support it's refreshing from the protestors I saw on the street on christmas day. You guys rock.

Quick story here about the protestor types. Got a Socialist DNC type that hangs out with a group I'm with. Every now and then one of the "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt and going back to finish the job." soldier, fly boy, Mo-rine and sailor comes in and talks about the reality of being there. Well to say the least the Socialist gets quiet. Not out of respect but out of no facts to argue. Man that is Heaven to our ears.
To all of you who serve, keep up the good work. One day all of us will be glad you did the job right.

Thank you. It is hard not to smack the protestors but we all have to remember our disapline. It might not be the US who will remember but I think that another country will remember us for quite a few years afterwards.

Believe me, there are times when we want to smack Uncle Joe (between the haircut and moustache he looks like Stalin, I should get a picture) but we also have great restraint. Something called laws and belief in the Constitution. However there are some who walk in and spew crap and lies. Not good, but they can to a point, right up to the local Marine stepping up. Two tours Afghanistan and up next to Iraq. Another good one is the Blackhawk pilot, Iraq and Katrina. And the USAF ELINT analyst. See those dots. Now say goodbye as the Mud Hens move mud. What fun. Just wish that more people would listen to what you guys do for us and others.
