		<description>Here is my question:

Where are the other troops that where there?  Who fired the rounds that killed him?  Why don&#039;t we hear about that?</description>

		<description>Forget the NFL front office. They are probably all &quot;loyal Bushie&quot; fat cats.

On the other hand, if there are any patriots in the NFL, players and managers alike, Democrat, Republican, or Independent, who don&#039;t want one of their fallen NFLers &quot;clipped&quot; by the Republicans in the White House, they should petition &quot;as one united voice&quot; for the White House to come clean over the death of Pat Tillman.

If they don&#039;t, then the NFL players and managers, by remaining silent, are indicating that they are siding with the cover-up of Pat Tillman&#039;s death and condoning the actions of the worst and most corrupt administration in American history.

It&#039;s as simple as that.</description>

		<description>Tillman&#039;s family needs to know why Pat Tillman died. This should be a bipartisan issue. Every democrat and every republican should want to know why the Pentagon tried to cover up the fratricide and pass it off as friendly fire.</description>

		<description>I recently heard a &quot;military expert&quot;, on a local radio show, say that the most important thing about the next 6 months in Iraq is &quot;how it is reported&quot;. One would hope that our leaders would be more concerned with good results than good P.R.</description>

		<description>somewhat off topic, but VET related...

caller just now to sam seder on randi rhodes show...

evidently a soldier... he basically told sam that he shouldnt be talking about the stories about walter reed, lost benefits, and other scandals associated with the military, because it hurts recruitment...

i swear... he said &quot;we tell them one thing... tell them they will be taken care of... the military will take care of you... ... and then they see these stories... and find out that&#039;s not what happens... and they don&#039;t want to join...&quot; (paraphrasing)

sam couldn&#039;t keep him on the line, begged off, saying he didn&#039;t know where the guy was going... but it was fairly surreal... 

the guy sounded like he was trying to intimidate the messeger...
very weird...

		<description>J. Meister, that&#039;s a very good point. Nobody likes to embarass a sponsor who spends millions helping you bring your product to the public.</description>

		<description>GOOD LUCK.   One of the NFL&#039;s majore advertisers is the US. Military.  Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines recruiting ads are all over NFL broadcasts.  The NFL is about money, and loves to use military and pseudo-patriotic slogans/campaigns to further its image and sales.  Vote Vets is likely to be disappointed on this one.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Maybe itâ€™s time you took a break from your administrative position, take a vacation, and when you come back spend a year or three on the assembly line, or out in the fields, or in the classroom with the people who make your position possible.
Just a suggestion.

Well, now there you go again with the assumptions.  The &quot;Administrator1&quot; simply means that I administer a website, a fact that you could have ascertained by clicking on it.  The Admin part becomes a portion of the email address.  

My guess is that you are part of Generation Y, the twenty somethings.  I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll say I&#039;m wrong.

I spent 31 years teaching in the public school classroom.  I retired recently on a woefully inadequate pension.  My life has been spent in altruism, putting that which is good for society ahead of personal gain.  As a progressive liberal, I continue to devote my time and energy to the public good.

Snap judgments are often very, very wrong.

		<description>Good luck with your battle.

Comment by Administrator1 â€” August 13, 2007 

 This isn&#039;t the battle, sir, this is just blowing off steam from the frustrations and stress of the real battle, out on the streets, and in the woods. 
 The real battle of living and practicing democracy, and respecting others no matter their station in lifre, or their religious beliefs.
 Maybe it&#039;s time you took a break from your administrative position, take a vacation, and when you come back spend a year or three on the assembly line, or out in the fields, or in the classroom with the people who make your position possible.
 Just a suggestion.

		<description>&quot;It appears that for some troll fighting is more fun than discussing the very serious situation our nation finds itself in.&quot;

 OK, I concede, and admit that I come here for some wit and witlessness when I weary of the tedious pounding of heads against the wall of serious discussion on other, more regimented sites.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Well, I didnâ€™t exactly call you a troll, and then perhaps it is Mr. p who has borrowed your modus operandi in the past.
I was rattling the bushes, so to speak, and hey, guess what?
It worked!
Have a nice day, sir!

It is exactly this type of &quot;bush rattling&quot; that has ruined this site.  Think Progress used to have a good reputation.  Now, many serious posters are abandoning it because of the incessant troll fighting.  It appears that for some troll fighting is more fun than discussing the very serious situation our nation finds itself in.

Good luck with your battle.</description>

		<description>&quot;I have been posting for a while here, Raven. I donâ€™t appreciate being called a troll. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you shoot off your mouth.&quot;

And good luck to you as well, Mr. p, with your new approach this afternoon of concilliatory chiding.
â€˜Cept that itâ€™s not really so new, is it?
In a few hours your first â€œheyooooooâ€ will slip outâ€¦â€¦
