Jefferson, not only do you not quote soldiers, but you group them all into a single ideology just because of one soldier. Have you talked to more than one of them? Have you talked to the veterans (which, unlike in-service marines and soldiers aren't on orders to be optomistic about the mission on television). I don't know about you, but I've talked to way more than one soldier or marine. I've talked bus loads of them when I met them in Crawford protesting the Bush administration and its policies. I've also talked to many in Washington at the march, and what they say definetly deviates from your arguement. My brother is a serving Marine, and lets just say that he would call you a political panzy that is defending a bunch of oil-drugged business men who have exploited the brave fighting men and women of our armed forces for personal gain.
