Kerry meets the troops

[Hortlund]

"Earlier, their bus convoy pulled over at a Wendy's fast food restaurant for a photo opportunity lunch that provided an awkward moment.


Spotting a group of US Marines, Kerry, who has made his Vietnam War service a cornerstone of his campaign, went over to chat. The Marines, who all turned out to be staunch Bush reporters, were not impressed.


"He imposed on us and I disagree with him coming over here shaking our hands," one of them told reporters afterwards. "I'm 100 percent against" Kerry, he said. "We support our commander-in-chief 100 percent."

From AFP.

Semper Fi Marines!

Doesn't the "dont ask dont tell" policy make it impossible to find the democrat marines?

Wtf is a country where the military can give a political opinion ?

Plus they lack the minimal courage to say Kerry to go away but have the "courage" to speak to the journalists ?

"He imposed on us and I disagree with him coming over here shaking our hands," one of them told reporters afterwards.

Truly a shame , they don't respect their uniform nor themselve.

I had an highter opinion of the Marines.

Ceratinly the French military never gave its opinion about France's political fortunes..  

Thankfully these guys did...



And maybe, just maybe the Marines were being polite and respectful. But wait,  you French wouldnt understand that...

Just for chits and giggles, imagine your response if those Marines HAD actually told Mr Ketchup to, uhhm, "shove it."  You know you would be one of the first to bash them for being mindless brainwashed republiclown right wing crazies...


Go ahead, have your lower opinion of the US combat tropps...



Stupid frog...

They are free to hold any opinion they want, and to give it when asked.

They are taught to be respectful and courteous. Even to people they despise.

You have no idea who or what they respect. You've never met them.

Your opinion of the United States Marine Corps is almost as irrelevant as your country. And the United Nations.

Wonder if Bozo......... eeerrrr Kerry had his video cam handy? I`m sure he would want to go back after the marines had left and reenact the scene and portray himself as the hero as he did in Nam.

I suppose GRUN posted yet another pict of some german soldier on the champ elysée ...

and captain moron make yet another clever post ?



You're so clever you didn't even read my post and tought it was a bash of the whole Marine corp.

When it was just a constat of the lack of courage of some Marines.

[Eagler]

who in the military would not be honored to meet a "war hero"?

LOL

Congratulations Straffo.

You've become such a moronic sissy that you have to publish your ignore list.

You've finally made it to the penultimate level of BBS dweebery.

I just knew you had it in you.

The best you have is name calling. Go play in the kiddie pool where you and your ilk belong.

Oh, and I read every word of your pitiful nonsensical drivel, twice. It proves that you are every bit as ignorant about the United States Marine Corps as you are about everything else you run your mouth about.

You KNOW Kerry's saying "Where'd you get those ribbons?  Did you know back in my day they were COMPLETELY interchangeable with medals?  Remember that if you ever decide to toss them over a fence"
