You do your country a great service "airing" these short video segments regularly. Thank you. The love and respect for our troops grows stronger every single day. Their sacrifice and dedication to their mission is inspiring. I for one will head down to the post office shortly for a couple of those one rate boxes and get a care package or two out to our guys and gals. I have a few boxes of some really good coffee I'm sure they'll enjoy. May God Bless America. Great Vent Michelle. You do your country a great service “airing” these short video segments regularly.

I won't make the same mistake on part II. This is an excellent post, Michelle! I love hearing from the troops (the only people who really know what's going on). How telling: "we can't pull out right now", "We've gone too far, if we pull out now we'll be back here in 10 years...". And, how sad: "Don't listen to your Congressman, stay...". That the Iraqi people would have to fear the political infighting going on in our country as compared to the reality they live with every day is just sad. Thank you for posting this! I know I won't see this story anywhere but here. I failed to comment on part I (my bad). I won’t make the same mistake on part II. This is an excellent post, Michelle!

I think SSGT Smith's comments regarding CNN is one that is felt with many who are over there. This past weekend we went to a family reunion and on cue my anti-Bush, anti-war Uncle started asking my husband about what it was like in Iraq. He basically said that if he gets his info from the MSM he's getting the wrong info and then when on to say that it was common talk that if any of them had seen much of the MSM they'd have to wonder if they should shoot because they felt "they-MSM" were the enemy.

What better than to interview a soldier speaking out against the war... and be able to follow up the story with a report that the solider has been relieved of duty due to the interview... creating a new poster boy for the left.
