Still think that an insult specifically targeted at you is an insult
to ALL Vietnam Vets, Richard? Why is that? You can't stand on your own

I have two nephews over there now and one came home on leave two weeks ago
from Tikrit and said this crap you and the others on the liberal left are
spreading is totally untrue. He has since returned and is proudly serving
there once again.

He states that the vast majority of Iraqi's support what they are doing and
are enjoying freedom, clean water, and not fearing for their lives or their
family when they leave their homes. He is suprised by all of the Negative
crap that the media is showing and they do not show the good they do. you
should see all of the pictures he has had taken with the friendly Iraqi
people.

Yes there are some that are home sick just as in peace time serving on base
away from family and friends it is human nature to miss home when you are
somewhere else, but the majority of our service men and women feel pride in
what they are doing and what they have accomplished. Do not take that away
from them buy bashing what they have done and bashing their commander and
chief. Did John Kerry and the DNC pay you to post this? Look here at your
heros record http://www.donbendell.com/ or
http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnkerry.com/

You are making this a political statement at our soldiers expense so I must
respond in kind. Our soldiers are grown Men and Women and many have access
to the Net even from Iraq and can speak for themselves.

I am proud of them and our nation for all that they have accomplished!

And at least the Commander & Chief we have today isn't cutting their budget
like the last admin did where they had to take from 3 or 4 pieces of equipt
to make one piece of equipt work. He actally cares for them (unlike the last
C&C Clinton).

Thank you all in our nations service past & present. I am proud of you all.

You should be too.

No they were not. The intel agencies may have screwed up for the past
several years relying on technology rather than use humint but that has been
going on even in the last administration. For the record we used that intel
too to decide to go into Iraq.

Whatever the DNC tells you must be true.....NOT

Many understand that they are there for a just cause and many more approve
of what they are doing (the Iraqis do too) Al Quida does not want them there
and neither do you...hummm could there be a connection?

>

We miss and worry about them.....we did the same in the Civil War, WWI,
WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, and yes this one too.

>
> Many troops themselves do not want to be there.

I have only heard from the ones I know that are there and though they do not
love it there and would rather be home, they love doing their jobs and know
it is a just and noble cause. But yes they are getting tired and miss being
home. This is a great Country and thanks to them and those before them it
stays free. Who wouldn't rather be here?

>
> The overwhelming majority of Iraqis do not want US troops there.

NOT TRUE..... Only those that hate Westerners, Christains and Jews want us
out. When they have an established governing council and their own defense
set up to protect their new found freedom they would like us to leave, but
not until then...it would just end up in chaos with them fighting amoung
themselves. they need our protection until then.

Did you get that from CNN? Sounds like a line I heard on Ted Turners

Only perceived as that by Al Quida and liberals here and abroad.
So are we if we act like we did before 9-11

That is true with any war we have been in...thats a no brainer ... part of
being a soldier...what do you think the military's main job is? To put your
kid through college? Think again! That's your job not Uncle Sam's.

There is...you just choose not to see it because it does not favor your
leftist ideas.

I am starting to wonder if you actually work for Al Jazeera

>

They are coming home but a total withdraw now would leave the world in a
very dangerous situation. I am glad you are not running the military......we
would be eliminated.

>

We all wish and pray for that everyday....we all wish there were no "0"
casualties. Unfortunately in real war zones they use real ammo and you must
rely on your training and instinct to survive.

>

Same as above.

>

Do you think our soldiers are in kindergarten or something. They have been
trained to fight and survive. I hope you are not saying that our troops are
doing these things. Our troops do not kill, injure, humiliate, or do
intentional damage to innocent people!
You would have to be on the side of the enemy to acuse them of that.

>
> Not one more troop spending one more day inhaling depleted uranium.
>
WTF are you talking about? I thought there were no WMD over there? Who
dropped the bomb? CNN missed that report!

> Not one more troop separated from spouse and children.

Again...an unfortunate part of the job of being, or being married to a
soldier. None of us like that! Again..It's not college they sighned up for.
It is the US Military.

>
> This is the only way to truly support these troops, and the families

I say you find a flight and go over there and find out the facts before you
spread your BS.
Is this Jane Fonda or John Kerry? C'mon...be honest!

>
> Bush says "Bring 'em on."

Bush isn't a pussy that will sit back and take threats nor make them. He
means it when he says "We have had enough" we will not sit back and let
these people plan our elimination while we sit on our a$$es at StarBucks
drinking our $5 cups of coffee planning our next worthless protests against
nothing. (BTW: It isn't that great of a cup of coffee)
>
> We say "BRING THEM HOME NOW!"

They are doing the best they can. Rotations are taking place and hopefully
the Iraqi's can get it together by this summer and build their own defense,
hopefully we can bring them all home soon. I love em too.
Thanks to all Vets for affording me the freedoms I was born with and still
have today thanks to you!
Oh yeah... Thanks to all of you vets also for allowing this original liberal
that posted this thread his/her freedom to protest and bash our country and
military actions.

It's a great country isn't it!

God Bless all!

We are all proud of our troops and their families who are spending thousands
to buy equipment the government can't provide.
The current CIC, in his haste to stroke his personal agenda, sent our troops
off not fully equiped.

Ken, don't you read the news? I mean something besides Rush or Drudge.
Google up "troops forced to buy equipment" and see what families are doing
because the G'ment can't. Families are buying body armor, night vision
gogles and other stuff Dubya just can't seem to provide. The equipment is
available so that's not the problem.

I do have two son-in-laws over there, both btw for the second time,
both asked to go back, one Army, one Marines.
One was over here ( my House ) before going back ( the Marine ), if he
was needing or lacking anything I would have paid for it, he had NO
Need that weren't being addressed, and that shocked me, cause I
remember from my time in Nam, Marines got hand-me-downs from the Army.
Need to check this out ask the Yahoo Group, they made sure both kids
got care packages during the "War" part of Iraq.
Want to blast Bush go ahead, but be truthful.
If for any reason I though these kids where being short changed I'd
yell loud and long.
So read your shitty little newspaper, want it first hand ask someone
that's been there or has someone there, someone you know, someone
that'll tell the truth.
BTW - one kid in the 101st, other 1/10 Marines
I have the FPO/AE if you like hint : 09511/6500, check it out

PS - When they write and ask for stuff the list reads like what we
wanted in VN, socks, kool-aid, Cigarettes, face ( baby) wipes, Hot

give you addresses and you can ask questions and send a little

Thank you Don,

I'm sorry that the postings hit an all time low so fast, but I know my
"kids" truth, chas, knew the google "truth??".

I'm also sorry I lost it when given the facts &
his answer was I'm
" crown prince of knee jerk Republican bimbos ", I felt a strong
answer in reply was needed.

I respect each and everyone here that "tells it like it is ", but if
your here as a poser spreading manure, you'll be called on it, as we
have seen to other's that come here with their half truths and
outright lies.

Everyone here ( VN Vets, Rita, Donna and a few others ) have
earned the right to speak their mind Politically or otherwise, and do
so with the respect they deserve. But to come and post "trash" without
any facts because it suits you or your agenda, is wrong. If the post
is directed at my family, friends or me, get ready to do battle, cause
I won't stand still while you spew BS.

During the Vietnam war my father sent a .357 Mag, a bowie knife, a scope for
my M-16, a 400 Express, my two shot guns with ball ammo. Have to say it came
in handy and I made good use of it all. My mother sent underwear for the
hooch maids and some blue jeans as well. 50 bars of soap, 25 Kosher Salami's
and 10 Ital Salami's packed in brine in tin cans, 25 cans of milk, shot gun
ammo loader. Dog food for Pelky, the unit hound. Bird food for the parrots,
130 bagels in a large tin can. Had to register the .357 with the 504 MPs,
however, was allowed to carry it while flying combat missions. Also, some
French made jungle fatigues, underwear which was unavailable to us in 1965.
50 rolls of 35mm film. 1 Jungle hammock, golf clubs, we played golf in the
LZs on occasion if the conditions were right, one case of canned fruit,
water proof bags, snake bite kit, 25 yards of parachute cord, one surplus
UHF Survival radio, bought on Canal Street in New York, surplus Army short
wave battery operated radio from WWII. All arrived by Pan Am, my wife's girl
friends father was an executive with the airline. Netting 25 Sq yards, 10
cases of steaks hijacked from the mob by the NYPD on 14th Street packed in
dry ice. one 20 lbs Swiss cheese, cooking wine, knives and forks, bug
spray, 60 lbs of lamb chops and a fresh ham packed in dry ice. 500 Hebrew
National hotdogs packed in dry ice, with mustard on the side, supplies of
food and can goods from the girls who I went to school with. From the WACS
at Ft. Rucker, 200 cup cakes, assorted candy, V-8 juice, and 50 cigars from
Colonel Tolsen, cake in tin cans from the wife of a Major at Ft. Eustis, one
TV set w19" screen to watch combat on TV via AF Radio out of Qui Nhon, we
were able to pick it up 14 miles west at An Son 1 & 2, water proof matches,
fishing rod and gear. Surplus life boat too go fishing on the Qui Nhon
river. 2 dozen bear and light game traps, we found them more effective than
using mines, candles, lamp oil, paint, nails, saws, hammers, hardware from
my uncles hardware store and a load of tin cans and sealed food jars and an
Army surplus generator bought on Canal Street NY for $55.00. BBQ grills, we
built our own in the A/C sheet metal shop when were not flying, a small
Japanese frig big enough for the hooch. Dial soap, toilet paper, powder, 235
tubes of tooth paste off the back of a truck by an Army SF SMAJ at Bragg.
200 lbs of Virginia bacon privately smoked from an Admirals daughter, she
sent her photograph in the raw as well. A fruit cake from the CO's wife,
dozens of gifts from the girls in the CO's home town and letters from a
Christain girls school in PA who all wanted to get laid. 100 lbs of
Passover goodies from some Israeli girls with letters and photos - all had
great bodies, underwear from a girl I never met ? Cake mix from a food
magazine I wrote too, 25 bottle of Kosher wine which we shared with the
Catholic chaplain. Home made venison chew sticks from a girl in KY. Assorted
medical supplies which I donated to the Flight Medical guys which was used
to help the local village kids from our family doctor. Arrows for Bruce's
cross bow, he refused to carry an M-16, stated it was against his religion ?
10 tins of pemickin, home made, great survival food. 30 cans of sardines and
20 cans of tuna. There are some pages torn out of my journal, they may have
been some other items as well. I believe my father shipped a fish net,
because we use to drag the South China sea with the helicopter off of China
Beach on occasion, seems to work well. Oh, yes, the Rhode Island Rooster
and five chickens, cant live without fresh eggs and some chicken wire. Home
made smoked lox from Katz's Deli on Houston Street and some hard salami's.
Some parts for a J-3 Cub, we found at Qui Nhon and several yards of canvas
to recover part of the plane.

Some surplus instruments from a friend who had an instrument shop for an Air
America C-45 supplied by Harry Geedes, he died last year at 85. Best
instrument repairman in the U.S.. I knew there was a reason why I joined
Army Aviation - better living conditions on the battle field. We even had a
washing machine that worked some times and taught the hooch girls how to use
it. The Vietnamese Catholic Church in Qui Nhon supplied a lot of help for
our unit and we frequently shared some of the food since they usually
brought their kids to work with them. After all you get tired of eating the
B-rations every you go cross country.

During war people will donate just about anything, the problem getting it to
Nam was effectively resolved since many of the Crew Chiefs had worked for
the airlines before being drafted or joining up, some of them were pilots as
well.

I heard there were some in Iraq asking for certain items that are really not
on the TO&E of their units. Some of the items are rather expensive, surplus
night vision equipment can go for $750.00 and up ? When in Nam I wrote home
for a scope for my M-16, Sears had one for $29.95, about 35 guys ordered
them direct. Yet, we were not authorized them under our TO&E. Its always a
good idea to take a Sears Catalog with you overseas. The people at sears
always threw in candy and other items for the men in the unit.

My brother, who has been in Iraq for nearly a year now, has also not
requested any military equipment from me. And believe me - the boy
sure as hell ain't shy about asking for what he "needs" - we just sent
a portable DVD player for him because he and his unit "needed" it.
What he (and his friends who don't have family) have mostly asked for
are snack foods, kool aid, protein bars, phone cards -- nothing that
you would expect the government to provide. Not sure where you are
getting your info from ... I guess I also need to admit that I am a
republican.
