Ok, I Got Reminded Of This Today

J.J. Jackson* | January 30, 2006 

As often happens I have so much to talk about in any given day and when combined with graphics that I design for Right Things and American Infidel T-shirts and the web site updates on The Land of the Free things fall through the cracks. But today Carolyn over at The Voice reminded me of something I wanted to talk about when I saw the video clip on her main page.

The video is of Sgt. Mark Seavey telling off Congressmen Murtha and Moran at a townhall meeting saying

“Yes sir my name is Mark Seavey and I just want to thank you for coming up here. Until about a month ago I was Sgt Mark Seavey infantry squad leader, I returned from Afghanistan. My question to you, (applause)

“Like yourself I dropped out of college two years ago to volunteer to go to Afghanistan, and I went and I came back. If I didn’t have a herniated disk now I would volunteer to go to Iraq in a second with my troops, three of which have already volunteered to go to Iraq. I keep hearing you say how you talk to the troops and the troops are demoralized, and I really resent that characterization. (applause) The morale of the troops that I talk to is phenomenal, which is why my troops are volunteering to go back, despite the hardships they had to endure in Afghanistan.

“And Congressman Moran, 200 of your constituents just returned from Afghanistan. We never got a letter from you; we never got a visit from you. You didn’t come to our homecoming. The only thing we got from any of our elected officials was one letter from the governor of this state thanking us for our service in Iraq, when we were in Afghanistan. That’s reprehensible. I don’t know who you two are talking to but the morale of the troops is very high.”

At the end they couldn’t even respond. It must suck when you’re caught being a couple blithering idiots and confronted by an opposing view eh Congressmen?

You can get the video of this exchange at Michelle Malkin’s website. It is a small cropped out version of the over 2 hour meeting that highlights this exchange and some worried looks on the faces of a couple Defeatocrats.
