Listening to "The World" on public radio, quoted a soldier

[pinkpops]

talking about Iraqi rebels - called them cowards, "why don't they come out and fight us?"
Duh?

2. Sure that trooper is ON THE LINE?

And has that trooper even reserached how we fought the brits?

[eaprez]

3. considering they've held the U.S. Military at bay for several months now..

...without Tanks, Jets, missles etc.....I think he picked the wrong word to describe them. Minimally, I'd have said they were determined and very clever - but not cowards.

5. Come to think of it, I think Bill Mahr got fired from ABC for

saying it is cowardly to drop bombs on people from a safe distance.

[slor]

4. Yes Cowards...

come out and stand face to face with an M1A1 Tank. I guess this guy was raised on John Wayne and took it to heart.

[leftchick]

6. nah, he was raised on those much more reality based...

video games.

[htuttle]

8. Damned Campers!!!

I hate that.

[Lost Creek]

7. With front line soldiers

With front line soldiers like this and generals who are guided by God and think they are fighting Satan make it very difficult to support the troops.
