I suppose Re. Jophn Murtha doesn't really care about the views of those actually serving in Iraq, but one of them had the integrity to stand up and say what he thinks of Murtha's proposed cut-and-run policy.
"Here on the ground, our job is not done," said Col. James Brown, commander of the 56th Brigade Combat Team, when asked about Murtha's comments during a weekly briefing that American field commanders routinely give to Pentagon reporters.Speaking from a U.S. logistics base at Balad, north of Baghdad, two days before his scheduled return to Texas, Brown said: "We have to finish the job that we began here. It's important for the security of this nation."
I'll take one of our serving soldiers over bloated and bloviating politician any day. Sit down, Congressman, and do not disgrace yourself or the Marine Corps any longer. Show a little faith in the men and women still serving, instead of presuming that they are no match for the Islamist swine who murder the innocent like cowards.
And Col. Brown, email me if you ever make it to Houston -- I want to buy you a drink. The email address is over on the sidebar.

Comments on My New Hero -- Col. James Brown
sir,
|| Posted by concerned soldier, November 22, 2005 04:52 PM ||if ever in houston, i'd like to whip your ass. your new "hero" is the same man that has placed expendable soldiers in danger on several occassions so that he could get a free tour of iraq. this has been a vacation paid for by tax payers and only enjoyed by those with the ability to abuse their rank and power. offenders of this ploy also included ltc. randolph neal, cpt. ybarra, and capt. john upperman. although not limited to these soldiers, true heros have been disrespected by the self nominating bronze star recipients who never once came close to earning this honor.
Would you care to actually prove your words, or do you simply choose to anonymously question the patriotism and service of someone whose politics you dislike?
And by the way, come on down and make an attempt, jose, but remember that the state of Texas is a concealed carry state, and the law looks favorably upon victims of unprovoked premeditated assaults who ventilate their attacker.
