WELCOME LymeOjai~!

It's refreshing to have an active military member to bring input to the land of the crazies~!

Seems like most of the posters here are gone for the holidays, its been rather quiet for a few days.

You'll find that the liberal/Dem bent of the posters will take any opportunity to inject their opinion on the war, even if it makes no sense to the post.

If they initiate a post, they'll keep reposting to that post in the same vein, even if they get no replies. -It is what it is.

Be prepared for reams of cut and paste.

The Right just keeps on giving equal time, even though the left refuses to listen....and round and round we go.

I think you answered the post on the military's view very well~! Thanks for your input and I hope you stick around.

You must be home on Thanksgiving leave~! Happy Thanksgiving If you're comfortable, could you say what branch of service you're in?

I even know where Ojai is---(exCalifornian)
Is that desert beautiful or what? I like the star gazing myself.

God Bless~!

I have no problem telling anyone with whom I serve, I'm proud of the fact that I'm in the United States Marine Corps.

I'm an E-7 Gunnery Sergeant home on leave. My parents, as well as my sister, live in Southern California. I'm not sure I'll have the luxury of being able to keep up with this political banter, but I'm going to try.

My father retired from the USAF after 26 years of service and is a registered member of Lyme Net. He's the one that got me interested in the Off Topic section of Lyme Net.

Do you mean someone other than us reads here!?%

I'll have to sharpen up my debate skills......

SEMPER FI~!--Ojai From the wife of an ex-marine--I know, once a Marine always a Marine (Cmp Pendleton to Nam '68-'70)

Funny how the left thinks they need to SAVE the military? Most of those who post on the Right here are those ex-military or family members affiliated. Not pro-war, but proud to serve and proud of our Country and President.

No pressure, post when you like and I hope your leave is wonderful!

O... K....... well I should first warn you that I am the mother of a "called up Guard Member" who has been serving our country in Ramadi Iraq for the last year.

His unit is attatched to a Marine unit there; they clear the roadways of bombs and have saved a lot of Marine's a$$e$!

If I weren't so proud of, and thankful for your service, I would have to kick your Semper-Fi butt! for being disrespectful to other soldiers who serve through Reserves or National Guard. They are plenty BONAFIDE.

That said....... welcome to Lymenet Off Topic
I'm Loribelle

Loribelle,

You have my deepest and most sincere apologies for my unwarranted affront to your son and all of my brothers and sisters from the Reserves and the Guard.

We old farts some times let our own self-importance get in the way of reality. As I'm positive you know, we would not be able to even think about defeating terrorism without the Reserves or Guard members.

And yes they have pulled my personal skinny *** out of more than one scrape.

Sincerely,
LymeOjai - Semper Fi

Again, I stand ashamed and apologetic.

Well, meg described it well. You've basically got a few anti-war obsessed far left extremists that like to force feed their nonsense anyway they can. I guess it makes them feel important or something, but it's really just obnoxious, rude and annoying at best.

Everyone has a right to disagree with the war. But if you distort and politicize the facts, and hopefull for failure in Iraq because of political hate.....there's nothing American about that. Some people here say they support the troups, yet they despise the mission....even see it as evil. You can't have it both ways. When you actively want your country to fail for political gain, you are encouraging the enemy and are indirectly responsible for American lives lost in Iraq. We have some of that on this board, unfortunately, and it doesn't get any more un-American than that.

Noone here 'actively wants the War to fail for political gain'

That is an agrressive asault and deflection.
You sound like the VP.

Deamonizing legitimate questions isn't holding any water. Simply answering them may...or may not..we don;t know becuase it hasn't happened.

Yes, he has apologized, very well I might add. Not bad - for a Jar head; I mean Marine....

Loribelle,

I accept the term Jarhead as a term of endearment.


Thank you!
