I was unable to read beyond the first sentence of the quoted email, in which a high ranking military officer exhibited unforgivably bad sentence structure. Was anything else of importance said?

Glenn, we see the problem. We are not surprised by anything the military, or other facets of government, does or does not do under this Administration. Given the high numbers of Americans who remain convinced that Iraq is a mess, wasn't worth it, and we need to leave, it seems the military's efforts to "win friends and influence others" through favored bloggers and right wing and swinging reporters is a dismal failure - just like Iraq.

While we can't put it as succinctly as you do, the fact that the military has allowed itself to be compromised by Bush and other GOP right-wingers means we are obviously more threatened by facist Republican right-wingism than we are to Islamic facism.

Maybe this was mentioned already, but I wanted to post before I got through the whole exchange (I'm a little behind):

From the alleged "fake email" --

"You are not a journalist nor do you have any journalistic ethical standards as we found out from the last time I engaged with you."

And from his actual "real" response later --

"Whether I agree with what the email says or not is not an issue I wish to discuss with you, as I decided after our last exchange that I would not take the time or efforts to engage with you."

The choice of phrasing is oddly similar.

While we all knew the military has for years been political since Korea and Vietnam, Glenn has teased it out of them in public again.

I think the American people need their OWN army - and it is not the one we have now. Even the state-based 'national' guard has become a tool of the federal government. This actually happened under Reagan, during the attempt to overthrow the Sandinistas.

We need people's militias!

So, Betrayus has a boil-on his butt through which he emits nonsensical gusts for the amusement of American citizens. But the fully transparent, goose-stepping Boil-on became hilarious only after he was so devastatingly outed as a liar and a coward. Why is it that every pathetic worm who slimes his way up the command chain thinks he can yank ours? No wonder the Pentagoons seek the refuge of Faux News. Engaging their spokesclowns in any public forum is like shooting fish in a thimble.

Oh, happy happy, joy joy: the military have joined the Republicans and, judging by General Peter Pace's bleatings, the Religious Right, as well. An amalgam of politics plus religion plus military is just what we need in America.

Be prepared for the "Star-Spangled Banner" being replaced by "Onward, Christian Soldiers" as the national anthem.

I meant ihasch!

O, I am so sorry.

As pathetic as these rt-wing, war-blood suckers...You know?

The rear REMPS- those-them dank jock-straps, them idiotic, poor punctuators, afar-nosey, noisey, bark-in' military officers, gettin' up miliary grievances email papers...Sent...@ emule.Whooo. to-yahoo-glenn-gads.

They also remind ya's somewhats of the old revolutionary movement? A sick-hater, and ill-brain militant, used grenadiers. A boy with a dangerous rattlesnake or a real gun pistol can be dangerous when he feels like lobbing his GI issued iud.

O, how much jabber, and spittle too? Gads, Sicko's in a war-haven safe" green Zone, ah huh. Take away the keyboard, GWB.

A GOP war party every day for them...?...and how much trillions and dead will it take to keep up-spiting Dick C.'s "pistil"...?...!

It's horrible, but at the same-same, wonderfully delicious reading here the commenter's private thoughts. I do chuckle with hope and inspiration. I'm reminded of the time eating Recess's pieces, blue M.-and-M. got stuck in the keyboard.

If you scream loud "Yum, Frosted Sugar Doe-nuts Melt On The Keyboard, Not in the Back Pocket Of Glenn- Great! Toner Tiger- Green, get them." huh. okay. tone down the nonsense? sorry.

It seems like damn "Left Brand Corny Flake Logger's~:~here."

Well, here we are at the Salon Tavern with Mohawk Indians planning a Tea Party? The brawnier military boys, just like then in 1773-- as the king's troops were called, were a brain dead, pot smokers, coke can gulpers, constipate'rs, lifers, and pathetic as Col. Steven Boylan-- O, they are regulars coming out of the closet, again!

On a day in 1773. Paul Revere said to the guest, "I know what you are after, and have alarmed the country all the way up."

Glenn has them gathering basset hounds? Or are they gleaning a delicious Sleepy Time herb tea blends in the green zone for Glenn? Next, a Sugar Act? A belated Boston Pink-Socks victory celebration? 'Um are insane and stir-up bush's mutt's (not cod strap) barney's DC neighborhood's scroungy dog hang-outs? GWB's military needs to muzzle the street terriers at home, not in a green-zone drunk-haven-- of Iraq. GWB's gang of thugs are Royal screw-ups. They wake the neighborhood scrounge-hounds in DC's Pentagon meeting house while Col. Boy keeps sending "unsolicited emails" such as this stupid one? Gates get one too?

O, like what bah hummingbird said yesterday: Ya's become brain rattled with reel bemusement. What can a sane blog reader think aloud?

O, Tories this unsolicited "lewder up^" letter up! Sacred?Profane? same-same.

Ya's think 'um drink a few 2 or-or-or 4 cans of coke, or more?

Ya's think 'um burps 4 Sam Adams beers up on the keyboard, heh?

O, Paul Revere may say: shouter needs to go to Orlando or get high at the Jordan River. 242+Zero=a Zone, but not registered alive on a brainwave monitor. He shames not just New Jersey, but a whole world. He wants to be dragged by Col Boylans's boys to play in the sand and be immersed in lukewarm tea. O, how goofy? Where is reverend Miss Pedinska to run the baptismal font, be dismal, and note a first time looser?

Yowza, lousy mood, mtsphdrea. huh.

I tease. Wear a ball White House Sock CAP HAT? Put the DC gang Ode odious-gab-bags on a one-track Train Ride to the Trash Dump to root for tossed away rubber duck toys? Wash out ya's mouth.

They (gops) must be on dope to write so dopey? I'm sober and plain darn stupid. What's there excuse? They seem flown as high as a chicken with a kite, like bamage on a windy day? Right sajwan?

flew a barbed wire coop.

O, penert (sp) is 'hitting' on Glenn? Reading between the lines, Maybe he says: Keep it up like Paul Revere.
