1. Good video...

Debate shows what a dumbass the Huckster is...

2. I've enjoyed...

the way Ron Paul has taken on the Neo-crooks, but in this particular instance that the Iraq veteran sites, Paul really missed an opportunity to smash Huckapee's fallacious propaganda concerning the metaphysics of 'honor'. Kudos to the vet: he does a good job of detailing both their misuse of the term and the great amount of money being made simultaneously. 100,000 views on YouTube and counting. No small feat in and of itself!

5. This guy's got courage

I applaud this young soldier - both for his courage to speak out against an ill-conceived and immoral war and for his courage to still be in Iraq under such impossible conditions. I would stand behind him 100% if he just decided to quit the war. My message to him is to do whatever he can to stay safe and come back intact.

8. Let's hear it from those 11b's out there....

I was infantry in Nam, and I know damn good and well what these soldiers are feeling. We were sitting ducks for "honor" and all that BS.

Wake up America!! These are human beings that are being WASTED for no good reason. This soldier speaks for us all. War is hell, and it should be used ONLY as a last resort to protect the Constitution and the homeland. That's what we soldiers swore to, and that's being sadly misused by this f*cked up government.

I bit my tongue when the pundits all said "there is no comparison between Iraq and Vietnam", and I can't do it any longer. It's the same F*CKING war folks!! Same stupid politicians putting the patriotic soldiers in front of IED's, scopes and hateful Iraqi citizens.

I'd do the same if they were here on our soil. I see NO DIFFERENCE!! If you wouldn't too, you're the coward!

11. Welcome home, Brother.

I was a 31E, and was 'fortunate' enough to see Tet of '68 and the invasion of Cambodia in '70.

9. Wow! That is a great video.

I loved what he had to say about the false "patriotism" spouted by Huckabee and others.

Fuck them! The soldiers who go to war, who fight the war, THEY know what it means, and it sure as hell doesn't mean a lot of empty rhetoric and a yellow ribbon on the back of your SUV.
