Only the MSM would try to turn Marlboro Man into a wuss.

1. Jesus knows

[xray s]

2. amen

[Rocknrule]

29. They probably think Jesus is a wuss

that's why they see * as a "new and improved" Saviour

[tsuki]

3. He is to them. He is a man with a conscience who questions.

He is a Wuss. Haven't you learned yet that you're not a real MAN unless you torture, maim and terrorize? And then beat your wife and kids when you get home.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

4. To Freeper brownshirts, a man who questions authority is a "wuss"

what filthy people

[Contrary1]

5. And they sit safely in their Mommies' basement

criticizing a true hero who has been through so much.

Chickenshits, just like their beloved Chimp.

[Jackpine Radical]

6. I didn't look at the link. I don't go there.

But if what you say is true, whoever posted that comment is utterly depraved. I've been on both ends of PTSD, having experienced it as a result of events in Vietnam and having treated it in many other people as a psychologist. The Marlboro Man is going through the same process a lot of us experienced when we came back from other wars, especially the useless and criminal wars. The armchair warriors know nothing, their pathetic squeals of ignorant rage mean nothing. Let them go, let them fight for the cause they claim to believe in. Let them learn the devastated state of mind that hides behind a thousand-yard stare. Then perhaps I'll listen to them.

[sandnsea]

15. I don't either

But every once in a while, it's important to see just how depraved some of these shitheads are. This is one of them. Click the link.

And it's also important to remember that we had them during Vietnam too, they grew up and became the swift boat liars. And some people right here at DU thought they might be credible. :eyes:

7. I NOTICED ONE OF

the freeper posts said

To: zzen01
"He was raised where that's one of the Ten Commandments, do not kill," she said. "I think it's hard for a soldier to go to war and have that embedded in them.....
Yet another casualty of a Biblical mistranslation. The Commandment is "thou shall not murder." ....quite a distinction.

Kill and murder are not the same? Just what you'd expect from the freepers, who worhsip at the altar of CHICKENHAWKS BUSH & CHENEY.

[TomInTib]

23. Speaking as Devil's Advocate.....

"Murder" involves "killing"- "killing" does not automatically connote "murder".

Combat troops are not necessarily guilty of murder just because they kill. I was there, once in a long time ago.

Either way, I just hate this mess.

[muntrv]

8. SSSSHHHHHH!!!

If you listen closely, you can hear the humming of the swiftboat veterans for untruth revving up their motors.

[fknobbit]

9. After all they have their HERO role model

in G.W. Bush TOP GUN, and Jessica Lynch, Freeptard warrior princess. M. Man will be certified hero class only when designated as such by Rove.

[tabasco]

14. Jessica Lynch is not a freeper.

In fact, she has been up front about how her rescue was used for propaganda.

Her father is not a freeper, either, and has spoken out as well.

The freepers probably hate Jessica Lynch.

[fknobbit]

32. I was barred from freeperville even as she was decorated

for bringing up the fact that she couldn't even clear a stove piped round from her weapon and hunkered down. At the time they loved her and I'm not sure they still do not live under the illusion that she is a certified warrior, they haven't shown a propensity to keep current, thus far.....If not for repuke support she would never have gotten a bronze star and I don't recall her refusing same. I read here recently that they have now decorated her "rescuers" and nominated them for best supporting role.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

17. Lynch has done a lot to dispel the propaganda and myth about the rescue.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/correspondent/3028585.stm

http://www.msnbc.com/news/990040.asp?cp1=1

As a result she is probably hated by most freepers although I don't read the site so I wouldn't know.

[Redstone]

10. The fuck are they yammering about?

I must have missed the original story. Marlboro Man who?

Redstone

[Gormy Cuss]

11. Here ya go, Redstone

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/01/29/MNGMHGVCEV1.DTL
The soldier in a widely circulated photo wearing combat gear and smoking a butt now is struggling with PTSD.

[Redstone]

19. Thanks. But why are the freeps freaking because this guy has PTSD?

I don't get it. But then, I don't understand a lot of the freep thought process, if what they do can be dignified by calling it thought.

I thought they were supposed to be "supporting the troops" and all that crap; why are they upset that some publicity is being given to the guys who come home with PTSD?

Some support, you rightwing assholes. Support this, shitheads.

Redstone

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

21. Because he's said he wouldn't do it all over again. That he's not

convinced that killing these people was a good thing. That he can see the point of view that "hey maybe they're not all bad guys, maybe just trying to expel an invader, I'd do that in Kentucky too", which doesn't have pretty implications of what we've wrought there.

In a nutshell, he's questioning glorious leader's "mission".

[Redstone]

22. Fucking freep assholes will turn on anyone, won't they?

Again: Way to "support the troops" there, you jerkoffs.

You're not happy he wouldn't go back? Hey, I bet there's a recruiting office right in your town, if you'd like to do something besides tell everyone what a "real american" you are, and how you'd teach them towelheads a thing or two if it wasn't so hard for you to haul your fat ass up the stairs from Mom's basement.

Chickenshits.

Redstone

[Tinksrival]

27. According to some on free republic

PTSD is just an invention of the "liberal media"

Quote from another FR thread on same subject:

PTSD is a fictitious disease. Like some young kid who you indirectly led into believing they have been abused, you CAN talk people into believing that they have a problem, an issue or even a “disorder”. Just look at the hyper-sensitivity some African Americans have within our society. Every kid growing up WILL get picked on whether it’s for wearing glasses, being to fat, how you speak or yes, how you look. Get over it!

:hi: Hello freepers, I see you noticed this thread.
I would just like to say I'm glad I don't have to hear you people think out loud! :shrug:


PEACE

[Maat]

28. Oh, that story made me cry.

Thanks for letting me know who the "Marlboro Man" is. Tears are in my eyes now. Tragic.

[Maat]

12. O.K. I'm out of the loop.

Which Marlboro Man are we talking about? Not that guy I used to watch in commercials decades ago.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

16. Click on the link in post number 11.

[Maat]

26. Okay. I will.

See post above. That is the saddest story I have read in quite a long time. This is why I protested even the thought of invasion - BEFORE we went into Iraq. I had been a social worker for years, and had seen the drive to enlist the poor. I was horrified at the thought of how we were setting those kids up. Tragically, what I feared in 2000 came true.

Yet I cry - the ones who were for sending them over there feel nothing.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. They are heroes as long as the myth is supported (Lynch, Tillman, this

guy). As soon as they question or do not support the myth, or fearless leader, they are tossed aside or worse. They must be hated, defamed, then forgotten...

Gee I wonder how much shrapnel these freeptards have picked out of their bodies, collectively? And they question this guy.

I wonder if all the threads where they probably talked about what a stud this guy was are still on the board there, LOL.

[benddem]

18. this is really an indication

of how sick these people are. I'll bet none of them have been in combat or know anyone suffering from PTSD. My god that man went through hell.

[Nutmegger]

20. Too much kool-aid for them...

To: zzen01
Just like with Vietnam, they want to create the myth that everyone was afraid of being in the military so people won't support the military, and if you don't support the military, then you don't support the country, do you? Nice.

Trauma in war is real, but packaged and advertised as the universal experience makes for a nice sociological weapon, doesn't it?

The reason people are criticizing this article is because it is a typical example of the biased stuff that comes out of the media:

Example:

"Before long, he began working in a body shop, where the owner told him the most extraordinary thing: Miller could get his auto body repair certification for free -- just by joining the military. A Marine recruiter offered more: insurance, housing, college money."

That excerpt- "the most extraordinary thing"- just drips of condescension. According to the author, this young man joined the military because he was an illiterate redneck looking to get an auto body repair certificate. The second part of that excerpt- about the Marine recruiter- implies that the Marines recruit by bribing and tricking innocent (illiterate, redneck) youths into joining up.

That's why people are so up-in-arms about the liberal media. They don't often show their bias outright, preferring to make subtle hints and vague remarks intended to undermine politicians and institutions they don't agree with.

24. LOL Its great when they reaffirm

what a bunch of morans they are. Because a man questions , hes a wuss. There is no doubt these are the Nazis reborn.

[Vickers]

25. You know why freepers never get PTSD?

Beacuse they NEVER FUCKING JOINED THE MILITARY.

Fucking pathetic, cowardly assclowns.

[muntrv]

30. I NOTICE THAT

half, if not more than, of all Iraqi war veterans running for political office are running as Democrats. Keep talking/garbling freepers!!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

31. Way more than half.

[newyawker99]

34. Hi muntrv!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[FormerRepublican]

33. Good, then they can go to Iraq and prove how much 'better' they are.

I'd be happy to see them go. The freaks have NO idea what they're talking about, and I'd love to see them come home with their own case of PTSD, which sucks big time. Sick people who open their big and stupid mouths should be forced to walk in others shoes so they learn first hand how stupid their former opinions are.
