As I do your service, but it only makes your desired use of todays service members, who have died in the service of their country, to get even with G. Bush even more pathetic.

I am guessing you are or were a Conscience Objector and was made a medic...

Secondly, what it does not explain is, the worse time in American History to be an active duty member of the US Military was during the Vietnam War. You were there for that and yet you still want to exploit todays heroes. For that there is no excuse!

How to you get to that conclusion?

I support the Freedom of the Press, not the supression of war press because it makes Bush look bad.

I support the publishing of war photos...the press covered it..better to see it thru to its end instead of not telling the whole story..
And i support the published photos of coffins...of flag drapped, anonymous coffins as the ending of a story.
We have NO idea whos coffin it is...but it is the end of the war..and the price we have paid for it.

I fully support the troops, but not the supposed WMD excuse for the war, or for the cost in innocent lives.

And where is Osama? We have spent billions and no one has been help accountable for the horrific acts of 911......

Why?

Dont go calling me a coward because I served as a Medic!!!
And how is Freedom of the Press exploting todays heros?

With out combat photographers, past wars would but a memory.

What about Sgt. Ryan P. Baumann?
Talk about explotation!!!

I salute his sacrifice am proud of service.

And I am pleased he got so much press coverage...perhaps others will do the same for their local fallen soildiers and sailors... and we will appreciate the true cost of this war.

Your position is political and there are better ways to get your point across than to selfishly use others.

You don't like the war get out and protest it. Don't ask the liberals at the NY Times or the Huffington Post to do your work for you. Stop blogging and get your A$$ a sign and get out on 4 and let the people know... Maybe the protest will get big enough for the democratically controlled congress to actually do some work...

Those Americans coming home are returning heroes and should be treated as such and in my humble opinion they are off limits!!

P.S. if you want to use the deaths of American Service Members than you do not fully support them. You should have learned that doing your time in service.

Nope I don't know it... You were never given the opportunity to be put in the position to fire a shot... We will never really know.

In the 70's women were not allowd in combat..they still arn't.
Because MEN never gave us the oppurtunity to serve in combat.
As a WAVE I was taught and trained in firearms and excelled at it.
I have an "E" in both postol and rifle...and several other awards for firearms...
