Berkeley vs. the Marines *sigh*

[Edwina's Secretary]

That's disgusting. As much as I absolutely abhor "W" and this war (now) and think we need to leave in an orderly manner, I fully support the troops. This is not THEIR war...it's Washington's. The military does defend our country and if Berkley doesn't like it, then maybe they should secede and make their own little country and see how they do...oh and they can't come crying to the U.S. when things don't go their way.

ARGH!

Argh is right. I do not support with the actions of Berkeley. If someone wants to sign up for the military...it is not anyone business to prevent them from doing so (except perhaps their mother...)

But to suggest that means "not support the troops" -- a trite overused, meaningless expression that needs to be retired -- is just silly.

Since the beginning of this war (which I have opposed the entire time) anyone who disagrees with "George's Folly" has been accused of "not supporting the troops." Enough already.

[RICHARD]

Enough already.

So, I guess you aren't gonna tune in to Marine Week?
