		<description>What do armies do?

They fight wars.

If you are a soldier you can expect to fight wars.

If you enlist (volunteer to serve) you are a soldier.  What can soldiers expect to do?  Yep...fight wars.

If you don&#039;t want to be drunk...don&#039;t consume alcohol.  If you don&#039;t want to fight wars...don&#039;t be a soldier.

If you enlisted, be a real soldier...Suck it up and drive on.  The mission comes first; to think otherwise makes you a phony soldier.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d be happy to concede to a good point if you&#039;d care to make one. Merely stating that I&#039;m repeating a liberal point of view doesn&#039;t count OR cut the mustard. The point that a soldier is a &quot;phoney soldier&quot; because they don&#039;t support the cause/war presently at issue demonstrates the narrow and ignorant mindset of the author. You my &#039;friend&#039; didn&#039;t address the issue and failed to counter my points, rather, labled me a &quot;liberal&quot; which I&#039;m not. Have you yourself ever served? do you have any notion as to war time policy? Guerilla warfare verses conventional or otherwise? Because you could certainly make the point that we have failed to influence or change the &quot;TRIBAL&quot; dynamic of this conflict between Sunni and Shiite. Wouldn&#039;t you agree? Now... I did call Rush a &quot;Fat Ass&quot;, a term used often in military circles along with &quot;non-hacker&quot; just as he referred to that army VETERAN as a &quot;PHONEY&quot;. Under the circumstances I believe I&#039;ll count Rush&#039;s new nickname as deserved and EARNED. Now TRY to make a good point if you can.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;How or WHY this fat blow hard can make a living expounding dribble and nonsense is a mystery too me. I&#039;m a former &quot;Reagan Era&quot; marine and believe that we ALL have the right to our opinions.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

have you ever tuned into the show? 

&lt;blockquote&gt;It doesn&#039;t take a genius to see this war was ill-concieved in every respect. Poor stratedgy, half cocked, trumped up and ALL without a plan OCCUPY or administer to the populace. NO exit stratedgy for god sakes! BUSH-league all the way.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes it does, a libreal one.

but  I sure don&#039;t think it take a genius to repeat liberal talking points or believe them. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;Rush hasn&#039;t got a clue and wouldn&#039;t recognize leadership, military or otherwise if it bit his fat ass. So... shut up when it comes to the military my friend &quot;you know NOT of what you speak&quot;. Ever hump a pack or drag your fat ass 30 miles on a forced march? I didn&#039;t think so.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

 He has has more of a clue then you seem to about honoring your pledge to alow every one express their own opinion, oops I&#039;m soory you said the the right to, meaning we can have one but if we don&#039;t share your&#039;s we should keep it to ourselves, forgive me, I got you now.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I really don&#039;t understand why the democrats waste our hard earned tax payers money on comments that a radio talk show host makes. He&#039;s poses no threat to the Democrats, and he&#039;s not even running for any kind of office.&lt;/blockquote&gt;It&#039;s called irony.</description>

He&#039;s poses no threat to the Democrats, and he&#039;s not even running for any kind of office. To me it shows the continuing insecurity of the democrats and their constant diversions off of themselves. It also shows that the democrats want full control of the air waves which when I last checked is the same thing the governments in dictator led countries do. Control the media. I really think both parties should focus on their own representatives and quit picking on each other.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Did anyone notice the senate resolution regarding Petraeus did not mention moveon.org nor did it take any action.&lt;/blockquote&gt;I believe that was already covered by a previous and similar Republican sponsored resolution.  Or do you just think that the Senate should rebuke moveon.org in every resolution, perhaps in all new laws and spending bills too?  Maybe they should open each session with a prayer and rebuking moveon.org.  Surely a national monument rebuking moveon.org is within reason.</description>

		<description>What happened to the constitution that protects free speech and prohibits congress from taking action against private citizens. 

Did anyone notice the senate resolution regarding Petraeus did not mention moveon.org nor did it take any action.

The Senate wrote a letter (taking action) naming a private citizen by name (Rush Limbaugh).  They wrote his employer and they wrote some of his sponsors.

What no one seems to have a problem with this.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.standwithrush.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.standwithrush.com&lt;/a&gt; and stand with the constitution.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;No one on the right has ever claim that there is no one that has served who isn’t against the war&lt;/blockquote&gt;
You did however claim &quot;many of these so call soldiers the MSM pull out of the blue are phonies.&quot;
You have yet to provide a single example of a phony soldier that was pulled out by the MSM.
&lt;blockquote&gt;They are however a small minority.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Here you are wrong.  The most recent &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1075&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Zogby poll&lt;/a&gt; shows that &quot;72% of American troops serving in Iraq think the U.S. should exit the country within the next year, and more than one in four say the troops should leave immediately.&quot; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;It amazing that you would deny that there are people out there that claims to be soldiers when they are not. Some even make into the press.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
No, what I denied was that there are a substantial number of people claiming to be soldiers that are reported in the MSM.  Indeed I have yet to see a single example of a &quot;phony soldier&quot; speaking out against the war in the MSM, other than the MSM reporting on the controversy after they have been discredited.
There have only been 3 high profile cases of this that I am aware of on blogs.  There is absolutely no evidence of the exaggeration of service record being primarily among those who either support or oppose the occupation of Iraq.</description>

		<description>You ask for discredited ones. An ordinance supply clerk who claims to be a Navy Seal may be a soldier but he is also a phony.

It amazing that you would deny that there are people out there that claims to be soldiers when they are not. Some even make into the press. When phonies are discovered, usually the press buries it on page 15 if they write anything about it at all. 

I tried to look up an example that happen here a few years ago but didn’t find it which is not abnormal in this area. Sometime it is hard to find last week football score around here.</description>

		<description>Jesse Macbeth is best known for being found out.  Prior to that virtually no one had heard of him.

Ford was in the guard and did serve in Iraq.  His stories are another matter.  

Scott Thomas Beauchamp is (perhaps now was) a US soldier in the 4th Brigade, 1st Infantry Division.  His statements are controversial and the military and his fellow soldiers deny them.  He is best known for the controversy about whether or not he was actually a soldier serving in Iraq (he was) and the veracity of his story (their is some doubt).

You said that &quot;many of these so call soldiers the MSM pull out of the blue are phonies.&quot;  
You have come up with three people, two of which actually served in Iraq, and none of them were mentioned by the MSM until the controversies surrounding their stories erupted in the blogs.  
There are seven undeniable and unimpeachable soldiers in just the one NYT op-ed.  There are plenty more in Vote Vets and IVAW along with a growing list of retired military brass.  The idea that all, most, or even a substantial minority (say over 5%) of the soldiers that have come out against this war are phony is absurd.

Limbaugh&#039;s earlier comments and the comments of his caller clearly were about more than one &quot;phony soldier.&quot;  The later reference to Macbeth was meant to bolster his earlier argument that soldiers coming out against the war were phony.

Vietnam is entirely irrelevant to this discussion.

Your last link dealt with Michelle Delio, a tech reporter for wired.  I think you probably intended that link to go somewhere else.</description>

“Can you name more than the two that were found out and discredited before the general public ever heard about them?”

I am not sure what you are asking here. I do know more then two have been discredited. Also I have run across plenty of the phonies at bars that have been discredited that were not known to general public. 

Frank &quot;Greg&quot; Ford, Scott Thomas, Jesse MacBeth then there the stories of the Bradley incident that was shown to be made up plus going back to the Vietnam days you can find many phony and mad up stories as well. Here are some links to some of those.

		<description>I have no love for Rush Limbaugh, but I know bullshit when I hear it; and claims against Rush in this case are total BS. He was clearly referring to the guy (and people like him) who claim to have served in Iraq, but really haven&#039;t. He is a PHONY soldier, and calling him one is more than appropriate. Naturally, Reid is trying to spin it, but anyone who is not already a dedicated lefty will see right through this dispicable diversionary tactic to take the heat off of them for not denouncing the moveon.org ad.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;As stated many times before, many of these so call soldiers the MSM pull out of the blue are phonies. They either never served are greatly exaggerated there service record.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Can you name more than the two that were found out and discredited before the general public ever heard about them?
Their is a large and growing group of active duty and veterans who are coming out against the war.  The couple of frauds only became high profile because of the highly public exposure of their fraud.  This couple fake veterans make up a tiny percentage of the high profile veterans or active duty who have come out against the war.
Rush knows this though he pretends not to and you should know this as well.</description>

You ignore the part “They pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media”.
