Active Duty GIs Being Recruited To Lobby Congress Against War

Shameful just as General McInerney has stated. But what is even worse is, we are at war. America was attacked on its shores. And for the sake of ending any discussion, you are idiots, stupid, dumb people. Did you get my jist? You have played into the Josef Goebbels Scol of Propagandists, you have played into the enemy's hands. I was an enlisted volunteer. Even I know that to divide is to conquer. If there is truly other generals out there doing these deeds, you may want to read the Constitution again. You may even want to read the Declaration of Independence, AGAIN. In my enlistment contract in 1961, I joined to fight ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. So if you must, keep up this divisive behavior, but while your doing it, remember all the lies told in and about Vietnam. Then remember how many were killed when we left(3,000,000 in Cambodia, 2,000,000 in Vietnam, AFTER WE LEFT). I also want you to remember that these terrorists who killed 3000 Americans on 9/11, came into this country a year or more before 9/11. It has been said, documented I believe, they were in the planning stage for over 3 years. One last item. We went into Iraq for 3 reasons, only one of which I wiil mention: WMD. There were, my count, 9 different parts of different WMD found in Iraq. The Iraqi WMD CINC was saddam's son-in-law, remember? He fled Iraq to Jordan. He, I'm sure, had the Jordanian intelligence folks, together with our CIA getting information from him. He went back to Iraq. saddam's people I am sure tortured him to find out what he said. This was in 1996 if I remember correctly. He was killed. saddam had ample time to hide ALL WMD. This son-in-law had to be one of the dumbest men around, he went back home to this killer after defecting. BUT shameful behavior, aid & comfort, stupidity, appeasement and conceit seem to run rampant, EVERYWHERE. My opinion, Easy Joe
