This does not look to me like an enemy that is on the run. Crap our guys fly over there and have to sit in the green zone. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Iraq an unarmed nation?

He should put some boots on and walk a soldiers mile. I bet he would spew ignorance a lot less. Take it from a vet, you need down time or you ass will go crazy. And being marched miles in 100 degree heat aint no fun. In fact its down right miserable. Add to the fact people are trying to kill you ass all the time and its enough to break a weak man like Lieberman. I know this, I am glad my service time is over, cause listening to shit like Lieberman says would drive me insane if I was over there. Lieberman is so weak.

If this was is SOOOOO IMPORTANT, then why don't we ask all Americans to do it? Why do we cut taxes during war? Anyone who supported Lieberman on this thread should be ashamed unless they are on their way to the recruiter's office right now to help share the burden of defending this country.
