Stolen Cardboard Soldier Spotted Protesting War


Phony Soldiers

Dear Rush Limbaugh,

I find your remarks concerning soldiers disgusting, as I find your military record of non-service. You are a disgrace to everything our country stands for, as a draft-dodging, malingering, sham-faced liar. A majority of the soldiers in Iraq don't support the war. In fact, more than 50% of them are stop-lossed or involuntarily extended there, which means that they are being forced into the mission despite the fact that they already served their time. And yet you ignore these issues.

The message you are sending to the troops goes like this: "We support you so long as you agree with us; otherwise you are a phony."

Soldiers are not stupid, like your fans are. They realize when they are being used. They can see right through your PHONY handshakes and non-sequitur logic.

Do the right thing and apologize to a panel of Iraq veterans. Retire in disgrace, and stay home ruminating the true nature of courage of which you know nothing.

Evan Knappenberger
