"The incident at the Oakland airport reminded me of a scene I witnessed while at the Dallas airport earlier this year. As I walked down the terminal, I noticed that a big crowd of travelers and airport workers had gathered. Businessmen broke from their phone conversations, parents and children paid attention, TSA screeners stopped what they were doing, and flight attendants paused. A gate attendant just announced that a large group of U.S. soldiers — fresh from Iraq — was just about to walk off the plane.

More than 100 travelers and employees waited in silence. The gateway door opened and one by one young men and women, each with a tanned face and wearing their uniform, stepped onto U.S. soil. The crowd applauded, cheered loudly and yelled, “Welcome home!” I stood among a group of strangers. Each of us said “Thank you” to the men and women who walked off that plane. Some bystanders cried, and many of the soldiers seemed touched — some fought back tears, others remained stoic."

Fair and Balanced, MY ASS!

1. Coming from Fox, it smacks of propaganda - but, I am grateful for troops

and the sacrifices they make. All the more essential that we don't elect evil evil shiteating chickenhawks that completely stomp all over these folks.

If I saw a group like that coming off a plane, I would show some respect and gratitude.

3. In Texas?

Oh yeah... I believe it.

When I was there earlier in the year the DFW airport was full of soldiers, and during the layover we chatted respectfully with a few. They all said Iraq sucked and they were glad to be home. :P
