Simillary, i typically dont read ANY link you post because i immediatly assume it's a mouthpiece for neocon warhawks.

But these 2 bloggers aren't but don't bother clicking. You might learn something.

Regardless of where that piece is posted, if its written by boots on the ground, PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE. (which we are not, therego we have no place to talk), then its a very intresting and enlighting. Its the people on the ground who have the best feel for whats going on, not some stuffed suit/uniform behind a desk somewhere, and most certainly not armchair politicians or armchair generals who are hot to trot waste american dollars and lives with absolutley no risk to themselves.

Um. Both articles I linked to are from persons that were in Iraq and quote verbatim the US personnel they accompanied. This in addition to getting Iraqi citizen's side of the story, too. Or are Iraqis all "Neocons", too?

My whole point was that there are tons of contrary eye witness first hand write ups out there.

I'll say straight up to anyone who's pro war. ENLIST NOW!

How dumb. You mean no one's entitled to support the troops nor US military policy unless they enlist?

Of course , that requires one to "put their money where their mouth is", something alot of necon's are unwilling, or unable to do.

Yeh. No Republicans or conservative minded soldiers in the US military. Only children of retired SDS and Weatherman groupies sign up nowadays.

In summary, i respect the opinion of the guys on the ground, who have to get up everyday and face that crock of **** that spoiled frat boy got us into. Im sure they're opinions vary depending on who you talk to, but in the end, its their opinons that should matter the most, regardless of where you hear it from.

Like Vets for Freedom?

And again, the articles I linked to are chock full of direct interview quotes with US personnel. But, again, don't bother.
