Has anyone noticed that the liberal responses in this thread all took a
very dim view of our troops in spite of the fact the average age of the
troops is close to 30 years and at least 1/3 have college degrees.

My point is well proven.

Spoken as one who has absolutely no experience with soldiers.

Yes. I can't speak to the Army, but I well recall several ET petty
officers
I had working for me aboard ship who had IQs in the 140 to 160 range, and
were definitely not "ignorant kids." And that wasn't even the destroyer
Navy.

I guess Bubbles agrees with John Kerry's assessment of our troops. My own
personal experience with military people as patients is that they have no
doubt about their mission and why they've chosen to serve. Most are
intelligent, some are college-educated, and quite a few are just regular
folks who've been called up as part of the National Guard activation. Some
are officers, and some are simply enlisted men and women, but all are
polite, respectful, thoughtful, and motivated. I always make it a point to
thank them for serving our country.

The complete opposite of Bubbles.

We are indeed winning.

It is the Democrats that are telling our troops, "You have failed, you
cannot get the job done".

Our troops voluntarily go into danger and all Democrats can tell them is
that they are a disappointment to Americans.

I am not disappointed with our troops. They are doing an outstanding job
and getting it done with limited resources and manpower.

God Bless America.

I'm not disappointed either, but they're not getting much done. Please show
us where a main-stream Democrat has said they're a disappointment. You
can't. That's just the right-wing nut in you talking.

Wonder why they a so limited in resources...Do you think it might
have something to do with the democratic congress trying to buy votes
with 21 billion in pork they attached to the funding bill of our
troops in harms way?

Joe



You wonder why, but you don't have to... Bushco's ill-conceived war. That's
the reason.

And how many of them do you know?

I concur on that...many of the individuals that live in the apartemnt
complex we're in are military...between 25-35 years old...I've spoken to
many, male and female in the past 18 months and none of them struck me as
naive, ignorant or inherently stupid. Most were quite conversant, very
polite, and seemingly competent.


I don't think most of them are ignorant or stupid. Many of them have limited
options, and reasonably thought that joining the military would be a way out
of poverty. They were right and they were wrong. A lot of them are dying for
no good reason.

While spoiled brats like BB wasted daddys money barely flunking out

While BB was hurling spitballs at a blackboard, these guys, and gals
were hurling off a carrier's in 300 million dollar aircrafts.

Now why don't you tell us how you really feel? g

We have a Navy commander's boat here in the marina, a Navy blue
Sabre 426. It makes BB's cracked keel little C&C boat look like
trash.

Joe

If he's got a Sabre, he must be intelligent. g
