Hey guys, I'm sorry to hear that you're getting attacked by the very people you're putting your lives on the line to protect. If only we could choose who benefited from the liberty we provide huh?
What may help you is to try and funnel the idiots into a certain thread. Every week I have my "Ask A Troop Sunday" post where I let anyone say anything they want regardless of the level of idiocy, but on the other days I delete the idiot posts. So far it seems to be working out pretty well. The number of posts I delete on the other weekdays has dropped off pretty steeply and the quality of the posts on Sundays stays pretty high.
Keep driving on.

I saw that when I was reading your blog today!
Still no takers on your challenge?
Dude, you have a great blog.
One thing: I WANT them to attack us. That lets my readers know that the crazed anti-war moonbats aren't a myth: they are real. And they hate us and will do anything to undermine our victory.
And THAT makes the true-believers that back us, back us even more. They do nothing but strengthen my target audience. And THAT strengthens my support on the homefront.
God Bless, Brother. I'll be in your neck of the woods (Baghdad, again) in a few short weeks.
I'll hit the IZ and buy you a "Near Beer" if you're still in the neighborhood (haven't redeployed).

I am on "Search and Destroy" mode.
Hell knows no furry..... Like a Momma who's son's service and reputation is being drug thru the mud.
The day my son enlisted he made a commitment to serve this country and I made a commitment to do everything in my power to ensure my son never felt the slap that was given to our Vietnam Veterans.
His new family is the Armed Forces ... and as his Mom, it is only right that I adopted all his brothers and sisters in Arms.
When you mess with our children you are going to feel a major hurt!

Seems the attackers haven't learned any new words. Yep - I KNOW 'babykillers' is coming. Oh well.....here we go again - BRING IT ON!!!!

I found the comment you quoted disgusting. While there may be room for debate over exact details of policy, only an idiot would think we can fight terrorists by appealing to their "better natures". The only language they understand is violence.
I wish that were otherwise; I don't enjoy violence, and I don't imagine you do either. But, if someone intends violence, you only have two choices: let them win, and encourage violence, or stop them. And yelling "Stop it! Be nice!" only works on little kids, not terrorists. Clearly, some people have never had to face anything more scary than little kids.
The fact that they haven't is due to the sacrifices of guys like you, whether they have the brains to understand it or not. The entire comment was vicious, unfounded, and uncalled for, but personally I found the most outrageous claim to be the one about "Nazis".
If this woman had been dealing with real Nazis, she wouldn't have dared to speak the way she did. Either that, or she's even more stupid than she sounds. Even idiots usually shut up when a gun is pointed in their face.
Thank you for what you're doing to keep us safe, and I'm sorry you have to endure crap like that comment while you do it.

There must be something so true about the content of your blog to strike such a venomous response by that commenter. I'd wear it as a badge of honor.
The individual who made those comments is obviously poisoned by hate, lies, anger and self-loathing for her own country.
I wonder whether the military service she claims for herself and her family are true. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen these claims by supposed "veterans" that were totally false.
She strikes me as another sad example of the "peace fascists" who consistently fail to convince American voters to accept defeat in our war against Islamic radicals. Instead of accepting that the issues have been decided and working together in a united fashion to assure the swiftest, safest victory for all of us, they continue this campaign of hate.
Your commenter demonstrates symptoms of a political pathology that must be defeated at the ballot box if we are to defeat the enemies which threaten our country.
Don't ever let ANY of these people, nor their hate-filled remarks give you the impression that the good, decent people of this great country aren't behind you all the way.

We will always have your back MasterGunner, never fear.
I guess I was most amazed when he said Jane Stillwater is interested in going to Iraq as a "real journalist". That would be something to see, don't you think? Yep, impartial, professional, unbiased...geezz...a real journalist who wants to go to a war zone, but first insults the guys that are going to have to protect her sorry ass if she was there. Go figure..
We have your back MasterGunner. You focus on keeping safe and getting it done..we'll take care of these weenies back home while you're gone.
God bless you,

I can't really even think of what I want to say except that I agree with everyone here that has MG's back.
Oh, and Wandering Author~ "Stop It! Be Nice!" doesn't even always work with kids, at least not mine LOL and they've been taught to LOVE each other since birth. I sure won't work with terrorists who have been taught hate from the cradle.

Hmmm, shame on you Tanker Brothers!! Imagine wanting to tell people the truth!! Just who do you think you are!!
Are these idiots for real?? You present an intelligent arguement to them and they resort to babbling like lunatics. Did she think we would take her seriously?? Oh, hang on a minute, she does support the troops right?? Well, that makes it ok then.
And how does she decided which troops to support?? Is it like at school where the bad kids get separated from the good kids so as not to cause negative influence??
So much hate from people who profess to be against war and hate. The depths of hipocracy never cease to amaze me with these people...

The more you tell the truth about the progress being made in Iraq, the more threatened these loonies become. Without valid, coherent arguements in their arsenal, they must resort to ignorant babble and namecalling. When these moonbats react this way, consider it proof that you are having a positive impact so must be attacked.
We are with you, and nothing will sway our support. Please know that they do not speak for me.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for being a source of truth, honor and integrity... and for setting the record straight!

Been getting the drive-bys too. Same stuff, different war.
Master Gunner has a point, though, the more they pull this crap, the more they expose what they really are.
I proudly support our troops anytime, anywhere.

The irony of it is, she calls you a hatemonger in the first paragraph, then proceeds to spew venom at you. I guess hate is ok, as long as you hate the "right" people.
But hey, you know you're doing it right when you're pi$$ing off the lefties this much. Keep up the good work. I'm going blogroll you after I get home for work.

As usual, this uninformed female has no knowledge of the truth and would not know it if it was stuck on her. She is just another left wing hate monger who's only response is blame, hate, and hate some more without fact or reason to back her up. Anyway you are doing a great job and I will be checking your blog frequently.

I hope the troops know the people here respect and admire them for the job they are performing under such difficult circumstances. I only wish the military would make it easier to support the troops by sending packages and such. As for the trolls and moonbats who "support the troops" but hate the war, take heart, the country was founded by men such as yourselfs. They endured Valley Forge, Gettysburg and the Alamo while knaves such as they pranced about prattling on to be forgotten, disdained, and held in contempt by their betters.
God bless you all.

What that women was saying was dispicable. I would call those type of people "drive-by terrorists". They spout the same anger and hatred and yes they don't stick around to debate, they are cowards. Just remember that most of America is behind you guys 100%. Keep up the good work and remember that you are always in our prayers.

Geez,
Magginkatz is a self-proclaimed AF vet, the widow of a Vietnam vet, and the mother of a (active duty?) soldier and yet she refers to military personnel in such disgraceful terms? Just what does that make her and her family then, according to her own twisted beliefs?

Google for Jane Stillwater, and look back at her posts a couple of months...
Better yet:
" "There's a blog run by U.S. soldiers in Iraq that has adopted me as their current object of scorn," I told this journalist, who had just gotten back from Iraq. "Here's my question -- this blog is one of the most up-scale efforts I've ever seen. Graphics to die for. Fabulous writing. Oxford dictionary-style grammar and spelling. Comment forms that actually work. How can they pull all that together if they are stuck out there in Iraq?"
"They can't. Soldiers stationed in Iraq ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE BLOGS. In many cases, they aren't even allowed to get e-mail. It sounds like this blog is a psy-ops operation." Journalists know everything!"
