Marines and Reid's Whoopin'
So, Mr. Pullo, what's the end result of Reid's or Grieve's ass-whooping from the men in your unit? True, they may be scared to go to Iraq -- I sure would be. I agree that Congress needs to exercise its power of the purse and take some action to correct the dreadful outcome of the horrid neocon war policies of this administration.
But to call Reid a chickenshit for not going to Iraq to tell a marine face-to-face that the battle is lost... well really what's the point? Saying that the war is lost is not a reflection on the service-men and -women. It's an indication that the policymakers screwed the pooch.
And your assertion that Grieve is whining, well isn't that the point of the media? To complain, to highlight missteps or poor policy or ineffective leaders? To ensure that our so-called representatives are actually serving the public good?
