It takes a special woman to be the wife of a professional and career warrior. She must know what makes her husband tick. Why they are in the armed forces, why they do what they do. A wife of one of these men would understand that if the American people break faith with our warriors that will have an impact on his psyche, and might cause him to reconsider his commitment to a career in the military. That might cause an unhappiness that can be an aching feeling of misspent years and commitment and loyalty.

Sure, wives, husbands, Moms and Dads and close family of a military person certainly worry about their deployed loved ones. But they also have to understand that for those people different things drive them to do that, that some might not fully understand...

Hope that makes sense. I think it's just something most media don't understand.

Give a Democrat Party free America a chance!

In a normal world such an obvious and easy subject for all the networks to cover shouldn't even raise an eyebrow, let alone start a thread on Newsbusters.

But here we are three years in, and we're all gobsmacked that this is on the air.

How utterly disgraceful that we have reached that state of affairs.

It's like it takes till June 7, 1944 before the media of the day suddenly discover that... hey, these GI's families actually SUPPORT the troops and the mission.

At one point Hayes commented, "And so the increase in violence has not diminished your resolve," to which one wife replied, "I think it's just proof that we need to be over there." Hayes relayed one wife's concern about "soldiers in Iraq who worry deeply whether the American people still believe in what they're doing there." After showing a clip of that wife contending that "if you're willing to give your life, they wanna know that what they're fighting for and what they're dying and bleeding for is important," Hayes concluded: "And considered worth, they truly hope, all they've sacrificed for it."

For me the above message says it all....

I hope the leftists and the leftist media in all forms are satisfied with their agenda driven outcome...it is despicable, detestable, and disgraceful what these so-called living creatures have been able to accomplish with their agenda driven life.....ahhhh the good old enemy within makes it easier for the enemy we are fighting in Iraq and elsewhere...

Shame is a word these people do not understand, nor do they want to....but they should be ashamed, very very ashamed.

"Once the coffers of the federal government are opened to the public, there will be no shutting them again." - Grover Cleveland

Hayes: "They are aware many don't see Iraq the way they do, a war's eye view that convinces them there has been progress."

Wendy Fil, Wife of military officer: "And that's what I think keeps them going. The soldiers, they live that. They see that on a day-to-day basis, many things that Americans don't see."

Many things that Americans don't see based on an American Insurgent Media that long ago made up their minds that the Iraq war was wrong and consequently only interested from the beginning in focusing on the negative in this war preventing Americans at home from seeing the truth like "the soldiers that live that."   Shameful media behavior.

Now that the Dems have inherited (thanks in part to negative reporting on the WoT) the Iraq War, America finally get's to see courtesy of the American Insurgent Media the "other" side of this war. And for no other reason than to enable their political Democrat buds to take credit for improving the situation in Iraq.  Transparant media behavior.

Why has Cindy Sheehan now dropped from the media radar in favor of wives/mothers that support the war?  Why have we not had an American body count in Iraq since the US elections when we had a daily count up and untill the US elections?  Why no more stories on supposed torture, or supposed spying on American citizens by the US government by the media since the US elections?  Could it be the media got what they wanted all along (Democrat power back in Congress) at the expense of thousands of American and Iraqi blood spilled?   Disgusting media behavior.

I don't usually watch the evening news because a) it's depressing because they have nothing nice to say ever about Iraq, b) it makes my head want to explode.  However, that day I happened to turn off Clifford early so I could catch the local news & saw this piece.  At the end Charlie Gibson looked so po'd that someone actually articulated what my husband & I both feel.  It's funny because the ones who are close to it overwhelmingly feel the same way.  It's the shehags and iraq vets for peas (my slant) who get all the coverage.  The press tends (as someone had also mentioned) to clip the stories to their view which is anti-war and anti-military.  I would much rather have my husband home today, our sixth wedding anniversary (had to give a shout out there) to take me out for some wonderful dinner but we've been married 6 years and have only celebrated our first (because he had just returned from Kosovo) together on the actual day.  As that woman said, we don't know what the path will be now.  I've mentioned  this multiple times but I cannot express the depression my husband Michael felt at the results of the elections (he was home for R &R then).  He flat out stated that now he guessed the Army was going to be just a career because obviously the voters who don't know their asses from their elbows don't give a good GD at all.  If we leave now it will be worse but no one cares they just make themselves feel better by saying they support the troops with little yellow ribbons on their GD cars.  We both feel that we wish they really did and let them do what they need to do and not leave before hand.  Anyway, I guess don't get me started.  The US lost a wonderful young Capt. Mark Paine, who was also one of our groomsmen and readers 6 years ago tonight.  I can still see Mark dancing the Electric Slide with the group who had come up to VA (Fort Monore) from Fort Stewart, GA, and leading the gang with Col. Ling who came down from DC on his birthday and missed the Army & Navy game.  Anyways, I know I digressed a bit but I just wish the MSM and most of the country would get it through their thick heads that the Soldiers & the rest of the military as well as their families (for the most part) want them to finish the job even though it means time away from us.

United States Navy exacts revenge on anti-military San Francisco

Navy scuttles plan to commission warship here, citing local politics

Perhaps next to leave San Francisco: Fleet Week? It would serve the troop-bashing city right.

...and maybe after that - cancelling the annual appearance of the Blue Angels in San Francisco

Give a Democrat Party free America a chance!

While a great story (finally) from the MSM, 10-1 it's a cover story so they can run story after story highlighting Sheehan types and claim no bias because they ran this one story about pro-US military wives.
