You were dying to know how the nutwingers would slander the sergeants who wrote the recent op-ed for the New York times, "The War as We Saw It."
But you didn't want to give Freeperville a single undeserved hit, so you sat and wondered.
A Google Blog search took me there before I realized what the link was to, and since I had already given up the hit, I stuck around to collect some cogent thoughts, reproduced below the fold.
To be sure, not everyone was hostile. The post was accompanied by as close to a two-sided discussion as you will ever see on the monolithic site. But the negative responses, along with the spelling and punctuation, absolutely reinforce the general DK opinion of the FR mouth-breathers, so for your edification and amazement, here are some of their actual words, with original syntax preserved.
Curious, what was the political orientation of these "Soldiers" before they went to Iraq? Who is paying the bills for them to go out and propagandize like this? Could it be they are just the latest in a long line of Democrat Party propaganda stooges?
Amazing how the same people who are so cynical about commerical marketing fall hook line and sinker for this short of political marketing
But even if they are sincere, which I doubt, they have an ego centric view based on their tiny slice of the battle field. Nothing surprising here that they happened to be in a crappy part of Iraq. However, to look out your window and claim you now understand how the whole world works is absurd and childish. Yet that is what these clowns do.
Interesting isn’t it that these clowns get coverage from the NY Times, yet these guys don’t. Curious, what was the political orientation of these "Soldiers" before they went to Iraq. Who is paying.

three words: summary court marshal.

What does the UCMJ say about Soldiers publishing political views in a newspaper that has and continues to commit treason against the US and offer aid and comfort to the enemy? The fact that they published in the nyt is telling.

to write in this manner, and in this number, would have required assemblage/coaching elsewhere.
Iraq is not the quiet confines of campusville.

Maybe they're just clueless. I mean, they're basically saying "To much American buitt-kicking, let's go back to the Rumsfeld plan." Not smart.

This comes as no surprise....they need a sargents report to pre-empt the generals report...
You watch...senators will have this crumpled article in their hands demanding to know why petreas is lying...
Hell...they pushed an article the other day that said "betreas" in the frickin headline...
The left only loves soldiers who denounce war...

What the people are doing is acting as unpaid, unwitting propagandists for Al Qeda. All they are doing with this perpetual whining is help undermined this country’s morale in a fight it has got to win. They are giving propaganda aid to the people in the Democrat Party doing everything they can to lose. They are NOT helping the mission with this sort of drivel. They also demonstrate a pretty complete ignorance of how the surge is working.

Sorry having to fight terrorists doesn’t fit in with the pathetic Neo Isolationist Cold War era "Realists" dogmas.
Time to grow up and realize that the comfortable assumptions and pat dogmas of the 09-10-01 world are dead. Quit clinging to their corpse.
