#1 One thing that I fail to mention is Hugh Hewitt. The man provides a lot of information about our Military, including this Marines.
He also provides a plethora of kick booty blogs for Right minded people.
www.hughhewitt.com
The man is a great American. I failed to give him a long distance high five.

#2 Wow, I'm about to cry--this email is from such a fine, upstanding and decent man.
I'm so proud of him and all the thousands of soldiers we have over there who are just like him.
Men (and women) like Dave are what our military is all about and what OIF is about, not those 7 trailer-trash losers who humiliated prisoners in Abu Ghraib.
Bless you for posting this, Long Hair Republican--it made my night and maybe my week!

#3 This Marine Dave is a typical hard-working honorable sort we have over there, and this is a powerful insight into what our folks are thinking.

Anybody with more than noodles between the ears should be greatful we have guys like this.

#4 Dear "right minded people":

Put up or shut up: name a single Secular ally that GWB has ever backed on the face of this Wahabi/Khomeni/Ikhwani/Jesse Jackson/Pat Robertson/Falwell/JP2 polluted earth.

Objectively, only creation of a Secular Iraq will enhance American security. "Faith based" Bush hates Seculars, globally.

Could it be that the noisy minority who posts here are: narrow minded?

Tomorrow, GWB will deliver a "stay the course" speech on his alliances with Islamofascist garbage in Iraq. Respect the 700+ dead American troops, by pressuring abandonment of "faith based" imbecility.

#5 Dang, I need to hear stuff like this more often. It's so easy to start believing the Big Lie and give up hope. Then you go to, "Kill 'em all!" I hate Islam, but I also forget that some of the muslim individuals I have known were some of the decent people I have met. These things are hard to reconcile. Without info like Dave's, it's easy to fall Dog Bites Trolls' thinking. (WTF?!?)

Well, maybe not that far.

#6 Obviously, troll-biter, you define "secular" as anyone George Bush opposes. By more common and rational standards, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, Turkey, and myriad other staunch US allies are secular states and all have the backing of the current administration in their long-standing alliances.

Objectively, only creation of a Secular Iraq will enhance American security.

My goodness, who needs gods when you are here to hand down divine wisdom such as this? Even if your omniscient pronouncment is valid, how do you propose to create a "secular" Iraq? Restore Saddam Hussein, perhaps? We could kill off the Islamo-loon Mehdi army, I guess. Oh, wait a minute....

#7 AC:
You would do well to read some English language media sources in the "staunch US allies." Iraqi support for GWB "nation-building" is now negligible. And Americans know what a bill-of-goods looks like. Watch today's dead-duck presidential speech. GWB will trumpet the forthcoming jihad-ballot as a victory for the forces of "freedom." A cleric controlled election in Iraq can have only one victor: the Iran component of the "axis of evil." Go down with the Oil-Patch ship, like a true fanatic. But have some dignity, and cease support for suicidal rules-of-engagement that prohibit disproportionate retaliation against the koranimals who plant Road Side Bombs to the delight of local savages. As for the "Mahdi Army", Bush-Powell-Bremer allowed those armed pigs exclusive patrol zones in Baghdad, until the inevitable occurred. What geniuses! Your mentality: if in doubt - and you are!!! - then deny.

#8 (WouldGodthatIhada)Dog (thatwould) bite trolls,
how dare you come on this thread with your lies!
And you're not too bright, as usual.
All the countries in the world are "secular" except for the ones that call themselves "Islamic."

#9 Maj Dave drips class. I'll spend some time carefully reading his account of Fallujah.

The troll is just a drip. Unworthy.

#10 Troll, why lie about my post when it is right there for all to see? What does it say about support for GWB's Iraq policy? Nothing, one way or the other, it says that these are secular countries that we support through our military alliances.
You might do well to start comprehending the English language in any context. It's one thing to be an arrogant lying authoritarian trying to put words in my mouth, quite something else to be laughably stupid about it.

#11 Your mentality: if in doubt - and you are!!! - then deny.

BTW, troll, you don't get to tell me what I think or why. You are a delusional idiot for presuming that kind of power and control. Any cow-college freshman should know better. Take your drunken fantasies somewhere else, you semi-literate pretender.

#14 DBT, WTF does your comment have to do with this article? Do you just look for a random article from which to launch your diatribe? Go post on the DU where like-minded folks lurk in their own alternate reality.

As to this article, I live in San Diego and see the Marine Corps Recruit Depot turn out companies of men like this every other week. With Miramar MCAS and Camp Pendleton nearby, we tend to take Marines for granted and only occasionally reflect on what they truly are, the pride of the nation and the ones who stand between us and the monsters that lurk beyond our borders.

As long as there are US Marines, trolls like DBT will be able to spew their venom without consequence. Without the Marines, DBT wouldn't live out the week.

#15 Anti-Bush propaganda by posters like ManBitesDog Dog Bites Troll will be showing up rather frequently on RB as the election draws closer.
