60 minutes just ran that piece to make money, it was competing with the Oscars that night, and needed a story that may attract viewers. Those soldiers speaking out were just pawns in a ratings race. When they joined the military they signed a contract, and took a oath not to speak out like that, I dont consider myself a rightie, but what they did was wrong, I believe article 134 in the UCMJ, covers this.

perhaps we should call them kerrys
If I was an officer, I sure as hell would not want them under my command. Not only do I think they would jeopardize the mission,
I think under the stress of battle conditions, I might be afraid the rest of my people might not make perfect decisions regarding dissenters safety. A bad situation for everyone.
they say people can trust them, fine they can do something for the army or marines somewhere else.

Scared soldiers who were and are being used by 60 minutes for political reasons.

The minority. I just got out a year ago and that's not what the majority of servicemen believe, at least not my unit.

The neocon fox propaganda spinners will probably use words like,traitors,Unpatriotic, disgraceful and lets not forget secular progressives. I do find it quite amazing how these crazied zombies continue to attack the left as if it were doing something wrong. Looking out for peoples rights and lives are indeed patriotic,noble and educated. Not by fox news/the new science fiction channel.

The ratio of troops fed up with the war and troops determined to win is a huge difference. The fed up ones being the minority. Just another liberal media tactic to try to make us lose the war and to further the leftist agenda!

I've never seen a soldier yet who didn't criticize war. They don't go because they like it. They go because they are patriots. That's what this rightie calls them, PATRIOTS.
