Jim,
While I will probably never stick up for Labret ever, he like all americans has the right to his opinion as you have stated.
I served my country also, but that in no way makes me a better, more patriotic american then anyone who didn't.
I belive it is almost Un-American and Un Patriotic to not stand up against your goverment, it's Leaders, political people, etc.
I support the soldiers in the war 100%, they had no choice in going. I do not support bush and his admin on this war at all...

Todd,
To disrespect our men and women serving by referring to them as human meat shields...is just a step beyond having an opinion. It is disrespectful.
They are much more than that and if you served you know. I will not let someone paint the picture that our military as mindless fucks just waiting to be killed. Without giving my own two cents...in this case more like a buck fifty.
Just because i stand up for my side of my beliefs.....I now have people saying that I think I am more patriotic????
Letr me be clear....I think it was an ASSHOLE thing to say....you served thats great. I feel you are qualified to give a real world perspective based on your real excperience. I can tell a CNN vet to piss off if they choose to say disrespectful things.
I am free to tell him I think it's bullshit....I dont give a shit about not agreeing with our govt....I do not agree at all with how are troops are being deployed.
It is the fact that i do not appreciate hearing our service members being termed as Human Meat Shields...do you think they would feel good hearing that....it certainly is not flattery.
I have never been to impressed with the instigating nature of this character....and whats wrong with me saying it????
Do I not have the right because I happen to stand up for the troops of our country...because i have an opposing opinion of this Labret character????
