He earned those medals and he should keep them. His words alone will make a difference. Good to see the real soldiers speaking out.

Blessings be with him and his family. I believe they are in for a rough road.

I forwarded this article to one of my daughters who has a fiancee in Iraq now. He is Gung Ho Army and war in Iraq ... a "good soldier"!
This is his 2nd tour there, and we are hoping he can return again all in one piece and alive.

I agree with the Reverend about this protesting soldier ... "Blessings be with him and his family .." and with cptenaud, "Good to see the real soldiers speaking out."

Both the protesting soldier and my future son-in-law have "a rough road"!

Fools.

I'm the guy who kicked the little smartass out of the Army. He deserved it. No integrity. He did drugs.

He says he suffers from PTSD. From WHAT??? He sat on his skinny little ass in Anaconda most of the time. He never saw the dead bodies blown apart like I did in Desert Storm. I don't have PTSD. He's a wimp, a whiner, and a pathetic excuse for a soldier. My god curse him, not bless him. He is creating hate and discontent for nothing more than his personality.

Yeah, and you got credentials to prove such an outlandish claim. Anybody can say that....

Well, that is nice that you were able to come back in one piece and claim not to suffer from PTSD. Everyone is not as fortunate as you to be able to do that and to ridicule someone who has a mental disorder as a result of military action is horribly uncompassionate. And wishing God would curse him? I probably shouldn't be surprised when I see comments of a nature as this, but I still believe in the goodness of others. It is what sustains me.

I don't know about this guy, he claims to be the one that discharged him, but the way they are made, they sound like Pro-Rush Limbaugh talking points. I mean they eerily familiar, word for word in parts....
