I want to wish a happy Veterans Day to those that have served us so proudly and fought to protect us.
Not all soldiers want the words though because some understand that certain people say the words, yet they are empty. Hat/Tip to Freedom Folks who tracked back with this and to Heidi at Euphoric Reality for sending FF the email.
The Rusty Humphries Show received a message from a soldier in Iraq and although it is not pleasant to read, this soldiers and all the soldiers in Iraq deserve to be heard.
Dear Rusty,A question for the Democrats... How does it feel to be the Tokyo Rose of the Iraq War?
I know you probably get a lot of messages asking you to read stuff on your show, but I BEG you to read this...... I would like you to tell America exactly what they did to their soldiers on Tuesday, and what WE think about our countrymen right now.
"I hope you are satisfied with what you have done...
Today in the mess hall, where there is usually jovial conversation, there was silence, long faces, and broken spirits... Everyone, to include all American soldiers, marines, sailors, airmen, Iraqi Nationals, Bulgarian Soldiers, etc, etc... was speechless, tired, demoralized and stunned.... all ate in erie silence.....
Last night, while we watched the press conference with the President, there was utter disgust, and the common feeling amongst us all that we soldiers are now the loneliest people on Earth.... we fight an enemy over here, and we have a country full of enemies to go home to that are our countrymen. We watched President Bush say his own political funeral, our commander and chief.. as well as ours..... He tried so hard to spin it, but... well.. there is no way to soften such a morale blow.
While you sit and Monday morning quarterback what we work so hard to do for you out here, just know that the spirit of your team is wounded..... YOU liberals, you America have done a great job of demoralizing us...
Thank you. Do us a favor though, when we do come home, spare us the ceremony....... We all now know that it is a bunch of crap, and what you think of us.......
I have to say that right now, I would rather be a pussy ass Frenchman, even though they have no will to fight, at least they have the balls to make a decision and stick with it...... They stuck to thier guns about staying out of this war, even if it was the wrong decision......America on the other hand, goes off half cocked, and when the decision appears to be a hard one, or something that might cost a little bit, they turn tail and run.....
WHAT A NATION OF PUSSIES!!!!
This week I am NOT proud to say that I am an American..........I think it is obvious why... See, we just have told the world that we are not a nation of people who are tough, and will fight for what we believe in... We have told the world that we are a giant coward that will shy away from any difficult challenge...
So, while you eat your cheetos, and sit there and watch your lazy ass get fatter, dumber and happier Joe Citizen.. Just remember this, I, and all my commrades payed a dear price to come this far and have you decide that we should fail...
Realize this, because of your action this week America.... do not expect so many men to be so willing to stand up for your next little whim just to be cut down in the middle of it all............
Realize this also.. you have just put a heavy price on the heads of us all...... Now that we are branded as cowards, we are an easy target, oh so inviting for the taking....... I swore to protect your children in your beds.... yet you fling the door wide open inspite of me to invite the scourge.... Well.... have it your way then.
Because of this, September 11th will soon be overshadowed by these same enemies.. my advice to you is get your lazy, self centered ass up and make peace with your God, and your family.. cause, time will come when they may not be there for you................Because you kicked me in the teeth, and so many others, I know I won't any more.. "

This is what the American people have done to our soldiers and in the same breath many of them will say "Happy Veterans Day".
Those words are empty from some of you and you know who you are. You are the people that ignored our soldiers words before the election and truly do not give a damn about them now.
You give a damn about "appearances", you give a damn about "politics", you give a damn about yourself and what YOU, being an "expert" want done. You do not listen to the voices on the ground and you do not respect our troops. You do not deserve to have them out there trying to keep you safe here.
When these fine soldiers DO come home, do not expect them to thank you, do not expect them to give a damn about you ever again.
What you CAN expect is for them to tell the truth of what they had almost acheived, the truth that the media would not tell you, the truth of their accomplishments and to damn you to hell for costing them the victory THEY knew they could obtain.
There will be a reckoning when our troops come home this time. They will not allow it to be like Vietnam where people spit on them upon their return. This time they will see to it that you, Mr. and Mrs. America KNOW how badly you have betrayed them.
For those of us that understand this soldiers pain and suffering and know that we the American people that they fight so hard to protect, have done this to them, have demoralized them this badly..... see to it the liberals see his words, he deserves that.
Give him a voice online, show his words to as many as you can. It IS the least we can do for those such as him.
