I havent read them but I was a Marine and went there 3 times.  The anti-everything people in this country only care about themselves, it is rediculous.  But its not against the law to be a cry baby girly man liberal.

Puller's autobiography, Fortunate Son: The Healing of a Vietnam Vet, won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for autobiography. The book graphically chronicled his struggle to first overcome crippling injuries he received in 1968 during his tour of duty in Vietnam and later alcoholism. \n\nA few months after arriving in Vietnam as a Marine infantry commander, Puller lost both legs, part of his left hand, and a thumb and forefinger on his right hand. \n\nPuller wrote, \n\n"If I could now summon the courage to forgive my government, to forgive those whose views and actions concerning the war differed from mine, and to forgive myself, I could perhaps move into the present, attain a degree of serenity, and find the reason from which I had been spared, first in Vietnam and then a second time, an alcoholic death".\nPuller, 48, was the son of Lt. General Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller Sr., whose heroism in the Pacific during World War II helped make him the most decorated U.S. Marine in history

I support the American troops with out a doubt!  100%  My thanks goes out to your son and many other Americans in Iraq.  A true American SHOULD NEVER be negative towards our troops.  No matter what you think of the Iraq war our American troops need us....the USA.....behind them!  My prayers are with your son as well as the other troops.

"Dress your family..." is his newest book. Check the NPR website. He often does commentary for them and they put them online.

Do it for yourself. It looks like your having a good time and I found a lot of your blog entries interesting and some humorous. \n\nI like the fact your in the service as I also have a son in the service. I'll come back to read yours from time to time. Not much on mine to read yet 'cause I'm still figuring it all out.

An interesting range of responses to your loaded and what appears to be a somewhat biased question. I find the conservatives talk about winning, defending the concept of freedom, respecting the honour and sacrifices of troops both American and allies, addressing both the lies and propaganda of both the terrorists and main stream media… the lines of which seem blended, blurred, and sharing a common goal.\n From the less than loyal opposition I see the usual demeaning rhetoric, insinuation, and strained logic and comparisons…the weak straw dog of one that is afraid to explaining their own goals, at least up front and honest. They all champion their mantras that conservatives are parrots repeating…why do the all say that? (Right Elway?) \n And as to comparisons, talk about scare tactics eh michaelsan! I notice you don’t compare the appeasers of WW11 to the Pelosi/Murtha/Kerry philosophy, but contort like a circus freak to work in the leftist’s party line comparing the present administration to the Nazi machine. How about Hillary health care to Leninists socialism…A comparison I can relate to actually.\n Americas left seem to be saying that not defending our republic, appeasing, leaving our troops out to dry like they did in Viet-Nam is their course to regaining power in America…This time the stakes are much higher…The left doesn’t care as long as they can garner power…Even at the cost of America’s Republic!

You'd be wise to discover just who owns these publications.\n\n\n\n\nGlad you took the  time to find out and I wasn't trying to insult you.\n\nThat Gannet also owns USA Today points in a particular direction: the left.\n\nAnd by the way, Rumsfeld is not my favorite person.

There was one and only one US Marine killed during Operation Just Cause (Panama Invasion). CPL Garreth C. Isaak, 2nd Marine Division, from Greenville SC. I don't recall his name being featured in Black Hawk Down, but I guess it is possible, though as one poster pointed out that would be a bit odd. (Why would a Marine's name from an invasion of Panama nearly a decade earlier be part of a movie about an Army Operation half a world away?). P.S. If you know why this was done - please e-mail me, I am very curious. Sounds like one of those great pieces of trivia I can unload on my friends - :-)

Yes, it would appear that most immediate family do support both wars. If you were to watch unbiased coverage on television, you would get this impression from family members interviewed as well as audience responses where they are in the audience. Most parents of soldier killed in action believe if we don't pursue the war to it proper resolution--a self-sufficient Iraq--the lives of their sons would have been lost in vain. As a tribute to the fallen, they believe the war should be continued until it is won honorably by us. I'm not an authority on the subject but I do listen a lot as I'm a "news junkie" and a reporter once-upon-a-time.

I read them. Carlos was entertaining and made folks turn their heads 90 degrees to everything else. Lots of Coyote in those tales, lots!\n\nIf you would find the Red Road yourself, a more authentic path might be found in Michael Harner's books. He offers sage advice.  I have studied with a graduate of his courses, a Lakota.

I (american) completely agree with you that our country has been completley out of line in trying to be the worlds "big brother". You should know that your mirror will only show what is shown to it.  My mirror would show acceptance and love for all people. I was deeply disturbed by one of your previous posts. Please dont think that americans actually have a voice in whether or not we go to war! How would you feel if I was one of the closeminded americans that thinks that just because you are middle eastern, you know the terrorists and can make them stop if you want. I can't even begin to understand what it feels like to live in a warring country, my condolensces to you and yours. But remember that not seeing all sides of the story is one of the problems that led us to where we are today.  You are obviously very upset, and for good reason. So I would like to personally appologize to you for the occupation, although I have absolutely no control over it. By opening our eyes and truly thinking about things before we believe them, we might eventually be able to achieve peace. I wish you, and your family, and Iraqi and American troops peace. Please rethink your hatred for all americans and know that there are many of us here that agree with YOU rather than our own government. By finding a way to see that no culture as a whole is inherantly evil and that every individual is different and needs to be respected, you too will be a part of the path to peace.  Peace to you my brother. Tasharrafna. Shukran.
