If a powerful op-ed falls in a forest…
Rest assured, Olbermann will be the only one to report on this scathing op-ed by seven of the troops...
The War as We Saw It
But i think i'm with Tucker Carlson (he of the extensive military background) on this one: who the phokk are these losers?

Generals are almost always the best judges of what is happening. All these grunts, if they'd just LISTEN to the generals, they'd be winning.
They're sore, that's all. I mean, you can walk down some streets, apparently, and not get totally shot at. And sometimes, according to the officers (who have no career ambitions other than to serve our great flag and people (and their people, and whoever else they're serving)) they even sometimes get along pretty well with the police and stuff.
I mean, who are you going to believe? In November and December of 1967 good and prescient General Westmoreland went around telling every microphone that would pick up his voice everything was progressing really nicely. Hell, we're starting to win he let us know. And then a bunch of dumb fucking long-hairs yelled loud and wouldn't you know it? They shook down some of these VC (that's what "insurgents" were called in the 1960s - except in the early, early 1960s (like really the 1950s) when they were called "Algerians") from trees and stuff and wham-o! There was this thing called Tet. Now, if everybody had just kept their mouths shut and listened to Westmoreland and his support staff, we would have been fine. They were saying things like "you could get a whore in Saigon in less than a minute, not that our troops would do that and the whores appear to be on our side" and "man, our dishwashers haven't fired a shot at us in like, weeks or some shit." But nobody listened, they protested and yelled and complained and look what happened? And then of course, the New York Times puts the whole thing on page one (bad news mongers) and the thing blows up like a zit on prom night.
We need to shut up. We need to, if we open our mouths, echo the good news that
THE SURGE IS WORKING!
Hell, all we're really doing at this point is handing out Tootsie pops and Bubble Yum. Everybody loves us. The places the generals and their officers show us look pretty damned good. I mean, you follow them and all you meet are nice people.
Now, as soon as you start opening your mouth and following these other people, weird things happen. Probably because of drugs or homosexuality.
Whatever it is, it's not Jesus.
