<p>Thank’s Brandon’s mom…</p>

<p>I hope you don’t mind that I started a new thread *so that this wonderful photo wouldn’t get lost in the pages of this tired thread.</p>

102

<p>Not at all, Fountain Siren - everyone should see this!</p>

<p>“There are two women in that pic, too!”</p>

<p>Sorry Driver! I just so enjoy fine-looking men in uniform that I didn’t even notice the women. God bless them too!</p>

104

<p>Thanks for above link, I sent it to my son at school. He already called and said he is sending it on to friends.</p>

105

<p>Guess it’s up on Drudge Report now - at the top of the page, where it so richly deserves to be!</p>

<p>A picture really is worth a thousand words! Thanks for sharing.</p>

<p>Guess our troops aren’t nuanced enough to know what John Kerry really meant with his “botched joke” :-)</p>

108

<p>Priceless! :)</p>

Seems like everyone’s reading CC these days…</p>

<p>haha, Brandon’s mom scooped Drudge.</p>

<p>I think it was a boneheaded thing that Kerry said, although I also don’t think he intended for it to come out the way it sounded. I am proud of our military and distressed that they have been so misused by the Bush administration. If the Bush admin had focused on getting OBL and finishing the job in Afghanistan, I wouldn’t feel this way.</p>

<p>DOD now monitoring blogs from Iraq. After 3 years, they are now just starting to ‘censor’ the musings of our troops. ???'</p>

<p>

If you haven’t been monitoring the “milblogs” over the last 2-3 years, you really are left to the designs of the MSM in terms of what’s going on over there. I’ve heard nothing of censorship.</p>

<p>“DOD now monitoring blogs from Iraq. After 3 years, they are now just starting to ‘censor’ the musings of our troops. ???'”</p>

<p>That because the less you know, the more you believe what you’re told.</p>

115

<p>Maybe they’ll catch and fix issues, like supplies for example, before it’s a problem?</p>

<p>“Maybe they’ll catch and fix issues, like supplies for example, before it’s a problem?”</p>

<p>Yea sure you betcha, that’s what they doing it for…:slight_smile: </p>

<p>Do you really believe that?</p>

117

<p>Opie, why aren’t you saying, “Good job!” to the DoD? If you had read <a href=“http://www4.army.mil/OCPA/read.php?story_id_key=9707[/url]”>http://www4.army.mil/OCPA/read.php?story_id_key=9707&lt;/a&gt; you’d see that they are doing this to protect our soldiers. The internet and the growth of blogs presents a new forum for communications. The Dod is just being responsible.

<p>Either Kerry intended to insult the troops in Iraq, or he intended to insult the intelligence of the President of the United States with a cheap joke. I tend to think it was the latter, which makes the whole affair very ironic: Kerry is so dimwitted he can’t even deliver a joke designed to make fun of someone else. On top of that, his response was so lead-footed I think just about everyone now realizes he is probably not suited for sensitive office.</p>

<p>I personally hope that all politicians who think spewing personal insults is a good substitute for policy debate are stopped dead in their tracks by this episode. Talk about getting it back in your face. </p>

<p>Brandon’s mom: great link. Glad to see <em>someone</em> has a good sense of humor.</p>
