Our troops are taught that dying for one's country is not an objective; making the enemy die for his is. populist Tue, 27 Feb 2007 22:05:00 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/no_more_surge_time_to_purge There is a time to say "NO!" and this is it. No more money, no more troops, no more machinations. We need to fund whatever it takes to get us out of Iraq and that is all, period. populist Wed, 17 Jan 2007 00:30:27 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/no_yellow_ribbons_from_this_ex_marine A bold pronouncement saying, "I do not support the troops," is not something that you expect to read or to hear in the mainstream media. And I hadn't. not until March 27, when a former marine of the Vietnam era had his sentiments unmistakably expressed in a letter sent to The Oregonian. populist Thu, 12 Oct 2006 23:51:49 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/thank_you_soldier_but_you_neednt_fight_for_my_freedoms I may be helping to pay the fare for the military, but I much prefer to get nothing in return. I mean nothing! Soldiers aren't fighting to defend America from enemy nations, nor are they fighting any frontlines of the war on terror. As for the idea that they are fighting for our freedoms, it borders on the ridiculous! populist Fri, 20 Oct 2006 18:51:04 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/the_troops_don_t_defend_our_freedoms How often do we hear the claim that American troops "defend our freedoms"? The claim is made often by U.S. officials and is echoed far and wide across the land by television commentators, newspaper columnists, public-school teachers, and many others. populist Mon, 02 Oct 2006 22:53:30 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/victory_of_courage_fellowship_and_honor War is often a deceptive money-making project that uses the blood of young soldiers and Marines to enhance the profit and power of those who send young men and women to war. As we all learn this truth, again, victory is ours. populist Mon, 18 Dec 2006 19:26:07 GMT http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/8357 The reason for this is that, as I noted back in April — well before Hearst Newspapers cottoned on to the scam — the combination of The Surge and extended deployments means we'll have in the neighborhood of 200,000 troops there by the end of this year. populist Wed, 27 Jun 2007 18:56:20 GMT
