Maybe in your sick sorry world but in reality President Bush is VERY popular among the military. Myself who just got out less than a year ago supports him as do a number of my friends and family.

Your comments are sad and very childish. One would hope you would have some class but as your posts indicate little or no chance of that happening.

I've been in and around the military for over 30 years.

Bush is not wildly popular among the military.

He's popular among a vocal group of military members and people have been afraid, yes afraid, to speak out against him (judicial punishment, you know). Neocons and social conservatives love him and there are a lot of them in the military; but certainly not enough to make Bush VERY popular.

You should have seen them at the DFAC tonight watching the inaguration.
That was not a group of people who love(d) Bush. There was a lot of cheering for President Obama, though.

Speak for yourself, fine. But please don't speak for all the military.

You don't speak for the military. In fact I don't know of anyone current or former who goes around saying that our troops are committing war crimes by murdering Iraqi civilians. I can go on about how big of a phony you are but your not worth my time.

There's even an 800 number for those violations.

Rape, the gift that keeps on giving.

Plus he had to sit up on stage with a 22% approval rating--the lowest EVER--while a million people turned out to hear Obama. Surely that was indignity enough.
Two million.

A crowd two miles deep.

I was referring to Chielgirl, who in a post accused US military of raping Iraqi women. She also claimed to have pictures of this which later turned out to be fake, in that they were some kind of weird pornography. I wish I was making this up but here is the link to the thread in which she made these comments.

My point is she cares so much for our military she rushed to post pictures and links that have no creditability to them that accuse our military of raping and murdered hundreds of civilians. Sorry doesn't seem like some one who likes the military to me.

Jesus christ you people are vicious. It was rude to sing that & to boo, I agree. Unfortunately, the discontent of the american people is finally being heard, can't really blame them for it. As for those of you calling out all liberals or dems as haters & low class? Look in the mirror.

Try reading the post you quoted. Yes, we are raping Iraqi women, but American Servicewomen are being raped in Iraq by American soldiers.
Prove that my comments and/or data were fakes, I challenge you. You can't.

I don't like military war crimes, no matter who commits them. Just because I'm American doesn't mean that I ignore the travesties of my government and the military.

Besides, you're derailing this thread to attack me.
If you had credible information to counter what I post, you would have posted it in the appropriate thread.

There's an 800 number to report rapes in the military.
AFN currently runs lots of public service announcements as well.

We don't know that.

The only one he shot who made the news was the one who managed to survive long enough to get back to the house.

Gosh knows how many more were left in the field to rot.

You should do as you preach in highlights. Besides, I don't care if you were born with a gun in your hand, if you haven't done the game, you have no voice, other than to be a pretender.
