Tribesman

Who is besmirching what they do?
It is addressing those that still support the obvious nonsense as it was sold by the politicians
Though it could be said that some are besmirching them by denying the plain truth of the screw up that was Iraq, and in case you missed it that was all politics not the troops.
It wouldn't be an issue if someone wasn't praising the troops but spouting the lies of the politicians at the same time to justify it all.
Like I said he is spinning the old the political lies because he appears unable to face that they were just doing the job and wants to try and justify it further by making it a decent cause.
I suppose it is in much the same vein as those who still insist the events in the Tonkin gulf really happened as they were told at the time.


The only thing thats damn straight is that you are spinning a line which was widely seen as nonsense a decade ago and now is plainly admitted as nonsense by a major segment of the very people who told you it in the first place.
