He turned to the four and said he had cleared it with their commanders and they could use his video phone to call home. The 19 year old Marine next to him asked Martin if he would allow his platoon sergeant to use his call to call his pregnant wife back home whom he had not been able to talk to in three months. A stunned Savidge who was visibly moved by the request shook his head and the young Marine ran off to get the sergeant. Savidge recovered after a few seconds and turned back to the three young Marines still sitting with him and asked which one of them would like to call home first, the Marine closest to him responded with out a moments hesitation “ Sir, if is all the same to you we would like to call the parents of a buddy of ours, Lance Cpl Brian Buesing of Cedar Key, Florida who was killed on 3-23-03 near Nasiriya to see how they are doing”. At that Martin Savidge totally broke down and was unable to speak. All he could get out before signing off was “Where do they get young men like this?”. |
And I know what the USMC responce would be "We don't get them from anywhere - We make them!" Which is the gist of many a sign you see on USMC installations. |

anyone that belives that is actual, of the cuff comments is being brain washed... your all SHEEP!!!!!! bahh |
I weep for people who so hate the president and the generals and the cia and nsa and fbi that they truely beleive that the middle eastern press and dictators are much more honest and honorable then the ones they hate here in America. I think that we have reached a sad state in America. But I do not beleive that it is restricted to the US. the apparent favor of a murderous thug dictator over anything or anyone that has the guts to stand up to the UN and all the vile, threatining protestors and has the balls to actually do something versus talk about it proves we are rapidly approaching a nexus. This world cannot sustain this struggle between free people and the religiouisly oppressed whom feel compelled to murder those who are not oppressed or oppressing. And the most tragic thing? The people who live under the most free government on earth HATE THAT GOVERNMENT! And beleive that they are OPPRESSED! And then they pat themselves on the back and call themselves true patriots and courageous for complaining and cussing and threatening that very government. Don't tell me that calling for a regime change, or likening Bush to Hitler or wishing a "million Molgadesho's" on our troops is not threatening and vile. This cannot last much longer. |
They are the ones reporting that the Iraqi's are thanking them and feeding them, and giving them gifts. They are the ones who report that they have found chemical suits and rocket launchers in hospitals. They are the ones who report that 5 year olds are being used as human sheilds and that the republican guard is pointing guns at their soldiers backs to force them to fight. God damn right wing conspiracy has even brainwashed the ENTIRE FUCKING MARINE CORPSE! |

Must I remind you, spunk, that until Bush was elected you hated the government yourself? Remember Ruby Ridge and Waco and all that... |
They just interrupted regular programming for the most AMAZING news update.... I am in total awe over this one!!! Can you believe?......... Saddam Hussein is ALIVE!!!!! He survived the first bombing!!!!! Tom Brokaw said that they can't verify that it is him for sure, but it looks like him, so they will certify it! Genius that man! Yep, walking down the streets of Baghdad....Saddam Hussein himself, surrounded by tons of people cheering him (yeah, like they wouldn't pay if they didn't). Christ. That was worth inturrupting my day. |
I did not hate the government. I thought Clinton was a sleaze. I was concerned that if he did not respect his oath to his wife, how can anyone trust his oath to the country. And I still do. |
*lick lick lick lick lick* fucking silly. |

i believe he is a president elected without a majority of the popular vote. thats enough. i just think its tiring, mundane and retarded that you spend some much time on these finite points that you can never see the big picture. i try my best never to insult someone's intelligence, i mean, like really insult your intelligence but god damn trace you make it so easy. you lay yourself out there with your nonsense. have another sugar cube. if it keeps you from the real deal, fine, but dont waste my time with such irrelevence. |
your Majesty, king patrick, would you please bring yourself to the lowly enough state to explain to little ol me what the real deal is? that would be ever so kind of you.. I beg forgiveness for my irrelevence |

No better then a gas station in New York offering $10 worth of free gas to "patriotic vehicles"... |

Maybe not nearly as important as his deriliction of duty. |
really. this whole "freedom" "liberation" shit is getting way out of hand. god damn, what is wrong with everyone. |
So I would guess that it isn't a matter of something being wrong with everyone because not everyone is buying it. Wow. That can have more meanings than just the obvious, can't it? |

Shit. I've said too much. I hear helicopters. |
superduper special! |

know what I think would be fucking AWESOME? If France really wants to fuck with the US, just annoy the US, as much as some would want you to believe.. heres what they should do... They should change the name of France to "Freedom" That would be a hoot. No. 1 on my hoot list right there. |
next you're going to go order that figure of Jesus playing soccer and golf, just to spite me!!! |
