In War, and this is a war, there should be no aid and comfort to the enemy. Unfortunately, far too many of our supposedly civilized citizens have no sense of the fact that war is not civilized.

In the dark quiet of moonless nights, our “Boogeymen” silently infiltrated these villages, and silenced some of the worst of the VC, then silently egressed, leaving no trace of their presence.

This type of “mystical intervention” so spooked the superstitious VC, that the atrocities committed against the villagers stopped. Maybe we need to consider “re-instituting” these spectral warriors in parts of Iraq.

Can you imagine, if you’re a bad guy, waking up next to your jihadi brothers, and finding everyone dead but you, and…no indication of how it happened? Now multipy this scenario ten-fold. How well do you think terrorist networks would recruit when news of these “mysterious” happenings spread? Was it Amiriki’s or “the jin?” Hmmmm…

I cannot fathom what they endured before their deaths. I pray that God will provide some peace and comfort to their families and the families of the missing contractors and Soldiers as well.

I can’t either, terrig. I don’t even want to picture it in my worst nightmares.

The fact that the libs and McCain are hoping that when our people are captured they’ll be treated well shows what a fantasy land they all live in. We are coming up on another deployment and my nightmares of my husband being captured have started again.
When they’re slitting you’re throat or the throat of your loved one, you can think to yourself how wonderful you are by not having waterboarded these (insert expletive here). I’m sure it will put a smile on your face to know that maybe this could have been stopped.

McCain/the libs are naive if they think that terrorists know anything about “humane treatment” and the Geneva Convention. Don’t ya know, certain “visitors” to Michelle’s blog think McCain is now lying about not supporting waterboarding. Similated drowning is not like cutting off somebody’s fingers or slitting somebody’s throat.

I hope your husband has a successful and safe deployment, Terrig. I’ll keep him in my prayers/thoughts too.

30 pcs you’re absolutely right. Anytime one rogue military member does something it’s front page news for weeks and months. In fact in the Army Stinko Times that came yesterday they were yapping about that stupid Lyndie England again. When will it ever stop because it’s obvious not one of these tools gives a d@m# about what happened ot these guys or to the Soldiers who were captured, still missing and killed.

It’s interesting how the MSM (and I include the much vaunted Military Times newspapers in this mix) focuses on the transgressions of a minority of dirtbags that always seem to exist in the miltiary (as in other professions). Unfortunately, the MSM always seeks to convince the American public as well as those around the world that military dirtbag=all military members. It just doesn’t work that way.

I wish the MSM would have this same kind of devotion to honest portrayals of those who’ve sacrificed their lives or are MIA instead of wracking up another “death story” on their belt of blood and gore. Unfortunately, the MSM, like a segment of the American public and political establishment, see the military as a great pawn they can play around with at will. Too bad, people’s lives and the future of our country/the world is at stake too, huh?

On March 25th, 2008 at 10:07 am, Jim M. said: The hell these two men endured prior to their deaths will probably never be revealed to the public. It will certainly never appear in the MSM, as such disclosure may cause people to rethink their opposition to the war.

And if we leave Iraq as the democrats such as Obama and Clinton promise if they are elected – these people who did this will have won. We will have left Iraq to them. While these same democrats supporters are horribly upset over our practice of ’simulated drowning,’ that occurred a few times on high value terrorists … this is the norm from the other side. They don’t ’simulate’ chopping off of fingers, and more.

In the afternoon on Friday, March 21, 2008 the FBI visited us to inform us that the US Military-Government has recovered 2 bodies in the Basra area, the area where the hostages are believed to be held. Their identity was unknown at that time.

It certainly sounds like the kidnappers did not stop their torture at severing fingers. The bodies of the two men apparently were in such a condition that their identity could not be established until the autopsy was completed.

The hell these two men endured prior to their deaths will probably never be revealed to the public. It will certainly never appear in the MSM, as such disclosure may cause people to rethink their opposition to the war.

Contractors are the unsung heroes in every war. They do the jobs that support the Soldiers. Supply, transport, food preparation, etc. Thus, freeing the combat Soldiers to do their jobs.

Give these guys and gals your support and include them in your prayers when you pray for our valiant troops. Without the contractors, the military effort would be much more difficult.

They get no medals, or VA benefits to compensate them for physical and mental wounds. No military burials in Arlington. Seldom do they even get a thank you. Yet, their contribution is every bit as important. I was a contractor during the Vietnam war (after my service in Vietnam, as a Marine). So, I know something about it.
