The anit war activists are at it again, In Vietnam and now in Iraq, the anti war extremists spread their hate, discontent, lies and half truths about in order to gain support for their chickensh** self serving, and cowardly and pacifists movements.

Their cause, brought about the deaths of thousands of our troops in Vietnam and now they are doing the same thing in Iraq.

I hope each and everyone can sleep with the blood of Americans on their minds.

Darn, it is so confusing sometimes. Choices, choices, choices.

But Mr Thompson was shunned for years by fellow soldiers, received death threats, and was once told by a congressman that he was the only American who should be punished over My Lai.

It continues today: Spec. Darby, who blew the whistle on Abu Ghraib, is a pariah in his own town.

If Bush had a shred of decency, he would long ago have appeared on a platform with Darby, praising him for coming forward.
