I'm still weak, apparently

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Unfortunately, there are a lot of folks who will vote for McCain who won't need a lot of information either...
RMP, thanks for the good wishes, but I think I just relapsed. I'm gonna go fill that second pain-pill prescription I didn't think I was going to need. To think about a President McCain, I'll probably need a morphine-drip.
RMP, do you think the troops in Iraq will be just as inspired to patriotic valor by a Commander-in-Chief Obama as they were by President Bush? Will the young Marine manning the machine gun at a traffic control checkpoint be less, shall we say, decisive, with an Obama in Office than Bush? Will the C.O. be just as eager to condemn the driving habits of "hajis" and smooth over any little friction concerning the ROEs?
I'm hoping not, but you have a whole lot more experience in that. What do you think?

T.Suarez
Mr. Suarez, I am as disappointed as you that Mr. Obama is not Muslim, but we have to take what we can. Of all the non-Muslims in the Presidential race, he is ther best, tho.
Mr. Suarez, you can't have everything, and it's foolish to expect it. Perhaps a Muslim nominee can run next time.

Real blank verse
[Read the article: One of Instapundit's favorite blogs speaks on race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thank you Mr. blank. Your reply was much as I expected.
You aren't trying to meet my expectations on purpose, are you? That would be very nice, but it's not what we do here. Please don't patronise me cause I do not have the understanding of these kind cultural nuances like yourself; no sir, please use the language, no matter how abstruse, appropriate to your social theory. I'll just use a dictionary if I can't keep up- I'm used to it.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You see what I mean? How the hell did you ever hold yourself equal to interpreting blank's social theory? What are you, some kind of nattering nabob of negativity, huh? Your explanation did not even come close to the depth and subtlety of Mr. blank's gloss of the subject. Say, fella, you don't need to be "taken down a peg or two", do ya?
Instruct us further, blank! Pay no attention to Dirk, I'm all nose, I mean ears, ears damnit.
I, too, would like to avoid "hate speech". Can I do that by referring to circumcision as being "taken down a peg or two"?
Delicacy in such matters is always appreciated, and your the guy to teach us. I am a "blank" slate, write on!

Oh, no one T, baby! No one at all! Don't know where I got that! Sorry.

- Mattsky
Surely you meant his inman or his Mullah, right?
So Obama is a Christian, the rumors are true. Oh well, I like him anyway. And 20 years with the same pastor- there's a steady, respectable kind of guy. Bet he's articulate, too!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thanks RMP, for answering. I appreciate the effort to explain.
And the Air Force doesn't get involved with ground combat? Thanks for that, my understanding of tactics is minimal. I would guess they only drop munitions or strafe around the scene of combat to create a diversion, but like I said, I wouldn't know.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Listen Proxy, to this old joke:
A very dignified and correctly spoken businessman was forced to reprimand his secretary. "Sally" he said (her name was Sally, you see.) there are two words I'd rather you wouldn't use around the office. One is "swell" the other "lousy".
Sally, ever eager to be co-operative and raise the tone of the office, said "Sure, Mr. Warning, I'll do that! Now, what were they"?
Get it, Proximity?

Sorry-

I was pretty sure you'd see it that way, but thanks, I will. And you'll be much the better for it.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thanks for the further elucidation of the mechanics of murder.
Gosh, I bet you could win a whole lot of bar-bets with military know-it-alls when you've got the indide scoop like that. I admire you, and wish I had some of that action.

@RMP
[Read the article: One of Instapundit's favorite blogs speaks on race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of course, the reason I'm getting answers that confuse me is because I'm asking the wrong question. So let me ask those of you who have an insight into the minds of our valorous fighting and commanding men and women the real question:
Will they waterboard for Obama? Will they break down doors and detain and torture hundreds of random Iraquis for Obama? Will they be as quick to shoot at checkpoints if Obama is elected.
Or does the military consider itself so above questioning that not even a change from Bush to an Obama administration will cause them even a quiver of apprehension?
And if it does, won't it make their jobs impossible? Imagine trying to come up with a reasonable legal defense of some type for every civilian killing? And, as I said, where does that leave the guys handling the detainees, and the interrogators?
What kind of oil deal do the companies think Obama will make? Why, he may even let them KEEP THE STUFF!!! Can you imagine?
What's your take on that? I don't think the War on Iraq will go on for a day after Obama is elected. All of a sudden every objection to leaving Iraq will disappear!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]pulpits equipped with figurative machine guns,
Kate Tex
Truth be told, and I wouldn't admit it anyplace else, I am sort of a weapons aficionado if that's the word I want.
Kate, do you know where I can get one of those? I simply must have one. Also, what calibers does "figurative" come in?
