1. I did not know that this was ALLEGEDLY made up. Unless I heard yes or no right from his mouth, I'm undecided, but sway towards that he either said it or most probably said MOST of it.

2. Your opinion, my opinion, his/her opinion...we are allowed to HAVE our own opinions b/c of the US military. Don't forget that, please.

So you won't even admit that this was made up? Even though a quick google search and my own post from Snopes confirms the original source and general Hawleys statements that these were not his words. He didn't say any of it, as there was no speech. Doesn't it strike you as odd that the speech has no citation as to where and when it was delivered as any real verifiable speech would.

How about the fact that this thing has been circulating in many forms:

Speech as told by General Hawley USMC

2. When did I criticize the military?? I have a wife in the military and I work every day for the US military and intelligence community. Trust me I don't forget. You and your kind do not have a lock on love of country and the desire to protect it.

"My kind" huh? It's interesting that you purport to know so much about me when in fact all you know is what you've read here. For all I know, your a Birkenstock wearing, pot-smoking, horse riding hippie at Berkeley. Or, you may be a Wall Street business WOMAN, or an astronaut. That works both ways.

My apologies, the "my kind" reference was unfair labeling. Could you please apologize for labeling me a liberal without knowing anything about me. Or is it okay to label someone a liberal without knowing them but ultra right wing is not.

And for the record I hate Birkenstocks, never have smoked pot, love horses although I am not very good riding them and have not so fond memories of having to march in formation through horse crap during parades, and never went to Berkley. I am also a registered Republican, NRA member, ACLU member, and I choose to contribute to the following charities the American Red Cross, the UNHCR, and my local community food bank if that tells you anything about me.

LOL...liberal is a dirty word I see.

OK, I apologize . I didn't want this thread to degenerate into a flamefest...I left my asbestos undies at home :Q. . I agree with what was written...by WHOEVER wrote it. Nobody else has to like it.

well its big, and it swings, so why not! why dont your friends count on their four right fingers their lucky starts, and their two left ones the cost of the goverments policies, albeit at their micro level.

Considering people he knew died, that's pretty insensitive of you. :|

Just because you named yourself after an OS designed by people who fear deodorant doesn't mean you're allowed to be an asshat. (You're probably posting this from Daddy's Dell running WinME, anyhow. )

Probably because his friends pay taxes; a portion of which supports a European military alliance that includes an island partially inhabited by ungrateful, grammatically hindered apes in substandard dwellings.
