1. Ouch!

For a man who is used to people snap to-ing when he says so, this must have been even worse than being fired from the military! I didn't know he was going to teach...and it looks like he going to learn more than they do!.

[shedevil69taz]

3. What might that be?

How to act like spoiled, think they know it all, rude assholes? I sincerely hope the same idiots keep doing this every day and it gets filmed...and then they get arrested for harassment.

[BlueToTheBone]

4. I think that he will be learning that

not everyone thinks he is all that. Remember the Surge? I hope they yell at him every day.

[shedevil69taz]

5. Yeah I remember it

I was there and ended up serving a 15 month deployment because of it. You know what though...it worked. Violence in Iraq was reduced, and it set us up for being able to get out of there in a more timely manner. Ultimately he was a member of the military that executed the mission given to him the best way that he could figure out.

6. Violence has not reduced

Car bombs are a daily occurrence and the death toll in that country continues to rise. Glad you liked serving under the general.

9. My fucking ass it worked.

Go spread your bullshit on some sheepish military forum.

12. As a fellow veteran,

I applaud you for your service. Now consider this...... Obama ran for president - promising among other things - that he'd END that illegal war the day he entered office. He GOT to that office, but did not end the war. Why was that??? Whether or not it factors in that Obama had never served in the military, I can't judge. But he HAD TO HAVE HAD "advice" from the BIG BRASS - and BIG BRASS live, not to oversee peace, but to conduct war(s). Guess what they were bound to advise the president(s) they could do.

You can argue that the surge worked - that's certainly your prerogative. But just LOOK at the DAILY acts of terrorism that go on over there to this very day. Is that what we fought for? Are there ANY less folks dying than would have under Saddam?

We've got SO MANY issues facing us here at home - there's NO good reason to be sticking our noses in other folks business.

7. Actually, maybe don't preside over an international war crime

and spend your career being an apologist for it. If all that happens to you as a result is you get heckled a little bit, I'd say he got off easy.

[BlueToTheBone]

8. thanks for being succint.

I was being polite.

[Downtown Hound]

10. Calling them "idiots" and "think they know it all rude assholes"

is being polite? Okay. And bombing the shit out of Iraq, killing thousands of their people, torturing them, and spreading toxic depleted uranium all over is "liberation" huh?

[BlueToTheBone]

11. Downtown Hound, I didn't say

any of those things. Do you have my post mixed up with some one else's? Nor have I ever thought Iraq was about liberation. The first anagram they had spelled OIL and I thought they should have kept that moniker.

[Downtown Hound]

13. Sorry, I got you confused with shedevil whatever her name is

My bad.

[BlueToTheBone]

14. A war criminal and asshole

aren't the same in my book. He may be both; I don't know. BUt I do know that he is in for a rough ride from "snotty students who think they know a lot!"

[Downtown Hound]

15. My personal opinion is if you support a war crime to the extent of presiding over it like Petreus

did, you are a war criminal too.

2. He is in for a rough ride I fear.

These guys need to understand that they will be dogged until the end of time.

Rove dirtied our streets a while back and we were able to arrange a welcome committee. He was speaking at a local college and the kids didn't even know who he was. Love those young Rethugs!

[truebluegreen]

16. I've have always felt that every civilian outranks anyone in the military.

After all, they--allegedly--work for us. I doubt that is a concept many in the military, especially the upper echelons, share. Gonna be a rough time for General Betrayus.

17. that is some world-class heckling
