So which troops would be happy for some male action, eh? What are you saying about those fine men in uniform?LovingTongue said:The fact that you're somebody's bitch (ok, everybody's, but still) is homophobic?
Or did you mean the fine women in uniform, happy to have me and my K-Y?

Oh man, you missed it by a mile. But then that's pretty good aim for you.phrodeau said:
Really, though. Do you honestly believe that anyone, soldier or otherwise, is going to mistake you for a man?

If you really cared about the troops..............and you dont
If you really cared about your son.................and you dont
You would read this

YOU WONT!
An EXCELLENT piece written by Sgt. Jeffers in Iraq...straight from a solider; his views on the anti-war protesters' venom they are spewing about the war.
Also, don't forget:
Gathering of Eagles --Please support our troops at the wall March 17, 2007 at the Vietnam Memorial.
P.S. Please pass this around, at the link, Sgt. Jeffer's email is at the bottom of the article if you want to send him support.

Hope Rides Alone

Editor's Note: This piece by Sgt. Eddie Jeffers, "Hope Rides Alone", was mentioned in a segment on Fox News Channel's O'Reilly Factor.

I stare out into the darkness from my post, and I watch the city burn to the ground. I smell the familiar smells, I walk through the familiar rubble, and I look at the frightened faces that watch me pass down the streets of their neighborhoods.
My nerves hardly rest; my hands are steady on a device that has been given to me from my government for the purpose of taking the lives of others.
I sweat, and I am tired. My back aches from the loads I carry. Young American boys look to me to direct them in a manner that will someday allow them to see their families again...and yet, I too, am just a boy....my age not but a few years more than that of the ones I lead. I am stressed, I am scared, and I am paranoid...because death is everywhere. It waits for me, it calls to me from around street corners and windows, and it is always there.
There are the demons that follow me, and tempt me into thoughts and actions that are not my own...but that are necessary for survival. I've made compromises with my humanity. And I am not alone in this. Miles from me are my brethren in this world, who walk in the same streets...who feel the same things, whether they admit to it or not.
And to think, I volunteered for this...
And I am ignorant to the rest of the world...or so I thought.
But even thousands of miles away, in Ramadi, Iraq, the cries and screams and complaints of the ungrateful reach me. In a year, I will be thrust back into society from a life and mentality that doesn't fit your average man. And then, I will be alone. And then, I will walk down the streets of America, and see the yellow ribbon stickers on the cars of the same people who compare our President to Hitler.
I will watch the television and watch the Cindy Sheehans, and the Al Frankens, and the rest of the ignorant sheep of America spout off their mouths about a subject they know nothing about.
It is their right, however, and it is a right that is defended by hundreds of thousands of boys and girls scattered across the world, far from home. I use the word boys and girls, because that's what they are. In the Army, the average age of the infantryman is nineteen years old. The average rank of soldiers killed in action is Private First Class.
People like Cindy Sheehan are ignorant. Not just to this war, but to the results of their idiotic ramblings, or at least I hope they are.
They don't realize its effects on this war. In this war, there are no Geneva Conventions, no cease fires.
Medics and Chaplains are not spared from the enemy's brutality because it's against the rules.
I can only imagine the horrors a military Chaplain would experience at the hands of the enemy.
The enemy slinks in the shadows and fights a coward's war against us. It is effective though, as many men and women have died since the start of this war. And the memory of their service to America is tainted by the inconsiderate remarks on our nation's news outlets.
And every day, the enemy changes...only now, the enemy is becoming something new.
The enemy is transitioning from the Muslim extremists to Americans.
The enemy is becoming the very people whom we defend with our lives. And they do not realize it.
But in denouncing our actions, denouncing our leaders, denouncing the war we live and fight, they are isolating the military from society...and they are becoming our enemy.
Democrats and peace activists like to toss the word "quagmire" around and compare this war to Vietnam. In a way they are right, this war is becoming like Vietnam.
Not the actual war, but in the isolation of country and military. America is not a nation at war; they are a nation with its military at war.
Like it or not, we are here, some of us for our second, or third times; some even for their fourth and so on.
Americans are so concerned now with politics, that it is interfering with our war.
Terrorists cut the heads off of American citizens on the internet...and there is no outrage, but an American soldier kills an Iraqi in the midst of battle, and there are investigations, and sometimes soldiers are even jailed...for doing their job.
It is absolutely sickening to me to think our country has come to this. Why are we so obsessed with the bad news?
Why will people stop at nothing to be against this war, no matter how much evidence of the good we've done is thrown in their face?
When is the last time CNN or MSNBC or CBS reported the opening of schools and hospitals in Iraq?
Or the leaders of terror cells being detained or killed?
It's all happening, but people will not let up their hatred of President Bush. They will ignore the good news, because it just might show people that Bush was right.
America has lost its will to fight. It has lost its will to defend what is right and just in the world.
The crazy thing of it all is that the American people have not even been asked to sacrifice a single thing.
It's not like World War II, where people rationed food and turned in cars to be made into metal for tanks.
The American people have not been asked to sacrifice anything. Unless you are in the military or the family member of a servicemember, its life as usual...the war doesn't affect you.
But it affects us. And when it is over and the troops come home and they try to piece together what's left of them after their service...where will the detractors be then?
Where will the Cindy Sheehans be to comfort and talk to soldiers and help them sort out the last couple years of their lives, most of which have been spent dodging death and wading through the deaths of their friends?
They will be where they always are, somewhere far away, where the horrors of the world can't touch them. Somewhere where they can complain about things they will never experience in their lifetime; things that the young men and women of America have willingly taken upon their shoulders.
We are the hope of the Iraqi people.
They want what everyone else wants in life: safety, security, somewhere to call home. They want a country that is safe to raise their children in.
Not a place where their children will be abducted, raped and murdered if they do not comply with the terrorists demands.
They want to live on, rebuild and prosper. And America has given them the opportunity, but only if we stay true to the cause and see it to its end.
But the country must unite in this endeavor...we cannot place the burden on our military alone.
We must all stand up and fight, whether in uniform or not. And supporting us is more than sticking yellow ribbon stickers on your cars. It's supporting our President, our troops and our cause.
Right now, the burden is all on the American soldiers. Right now, hope rides alone. But it can change, it must change. Because there is only failure and darkness ahead for us as a country, as a people, if it doesn't.
Let's stop all the political nonsense, let's stop all the bickering, let's stop all the bad news and let's stand and fight!
Isn't that what America is about anyway?

Maybe Eddie can take his show on the road and go to Darfur next.
Maybe Eddie can tell me where the WMD's in Iraq are.
Maybe Eddie can explain the difference between Ignorant Sheep that want him to stop invading other countries, and those that have the right to question their leaders, and those that never question their leaders.
Maybe Eddie knows a Medic that was killed and maybe Eddie never heard of Abu Gharib, and the shame the soldiers and leaders involved brought to MY country.
Maybe Eddie knows a Cleric that was killed and didn't hear about the soldiers that raped a 13 year old girl, shot her family, shot her, then set her on fire.
Maybe Eddie can tell us what he thinks of Bush re writing the constitution, eliminating one of the most sanctified rules in it called Habius Corpus.
Maybe Eddie can tell me why he is in Iraq and not in Afghanistan.
Maybe Eddie can tell us if theres a single mirror in the entire country if Iraq, because it certainly doesn't look like he's lookedat himself in one in quite some time.
Maybe Eddie can understand that the Iraqi guy he is going to kill today was never and would never have harmed a hair on the head of me and or anyone else in this country.
Maybe Eddie doesn't know who or what or where Al Queda (THE ENEMY) was when he invaded Iraq.
Maybe Eddie flunked Geography, and thats why he in in the army.
Maybe Eddie can come home on a section 8 because it's plainly obvious to me he is out of his gord.
Thanks Ed.
Come on home.
Preferably on a plane and alive, and not in a flag draped pine box like 3400 other kids.
So Far.

I can understand that when you don't have a year to build up before hand. Bush & Co. thought this was going to be a piece of cake is what happened. caught with their pants down jerking off to the expected shower of flowers.
Where are those WMD's. Three thousand plus dead troopers for Nothing. You people did not give a damn about Saddam killing his own people until Bush told you too. You still don't, it's just the only excuse you have left to be there.

Back to the original topic, but has anyone mentioned that the building in question is an old hotel that is used for out-patient services? If you know the area around Walter Reed, you will understand the point of my mentioning this. Also, Walter Reed is scheduled to close and it makes no sense to spend money upgrading a building that should be torn down - and will be torn down.
Walter Reed is not a VA hospital btw.

In addition to the expensive shit, make sure he has plenty of flea collars, dryer sheets (the only thing that works to repel sand flies), q-tips, and baby wipes.
