    A 17-member Army Reserve platoon with troops from Jackson and around the Southeast deployed to Iraq is under arrest for refusing a "suicide mission" to deliver fuel, the troops' relatives said Thursday.

    The soldiers refused an order on Wednesday to go to Taji, Iraq — north of Baghdad — because their vehicles were considered "deadlined" or extremely unsafe, said Patricia McCook of Jackson, wife of Sgt. Larry O. McCook.

    Seems to me that it is the American troops who are coming to their senses. Your attacks on my patriotism just expose your immaturity.

    Why do conservatives think that those who speak out laugh at American casualties?
    Do conservatives laugh everytime a child goes hungry or without health care?
    Do conservatives laught everytime a senior citizen doesn't have enough to pay for their medication?
    Do conservatives laugh everytime a gay person comes out of the closet?

    So....what happened to the troops that needed fuel? I guess they just left them hanging.

    Coming to their senses Dan?

    Another platoon completed the mission (and made it back... so much for a suicide mission).

    And further, they're military, they have a job to do. It's not coming to their senses, it's dereliction of duty. The military's all about the guy next to you in the trenches, and these guys sold out the guys needing fuel.

    Excuse me, but here is something I saw.

    Harris said conditions for the platoon have been difficult of late. Her son e-mailed her earlier this week to ask what the penalty would be if he became physical with a commanding officer, she said.
    Conditions are difficult yet he had a chance to email his mom? I mean I know how flustered I get when my internet connection goes down. I want our troops as well funded and prepared for their mission as possible. If that's not the case then something needs to be done. But how can things be hard when they have time to send an email, or EVEN have access to it!

    -FLASH EMAIL- Sorry mom I must stop typing. I see a RPG flying at me and OMG!!! <<<[[[BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!]]]>>> ................. -FLASH EMAIL-

    Did the other platoon have deadlined vehicles?

    I was for the USA before I was for Viet Nam.
    I was for the 87 Billion before I was against it
    Bush will start a draft again.
    I am a hero, I spent 3 months and a few days fighting before I got
    the out of the war.
    I got three purple hearts.
    I am in the Viet Nam war memorial.
    I am the second JFK, John F. Kerry.



    You tell me anyone you know that goes hungry or without health care in
    the USA.
    You tell me anyone who goes without their meds in the USA
    You tell me who brought out the fact that the VP's daughter was gay,
    twice, once by Edwards and once by Kerry, and then said they say:
    "she was fair game".

    You like the rest of you bunch are full of crap, always were, always will be.
    You just hate Bush and would vote for anyone except him.

    I often wonder if you pay any taxes or work for a living, I did for many
    years and still pay all kind of taxes to support a hospital district and
    many federal programs to take care of the people. Including those who
    aren't suppose to be here. Or do you understand the meaning of illegal?

    Kerry went to Viet Nam.
    Bush didn't.
    It is not like the fact that Cheney's daughter is gay was a secret.
    And you are probably full of crap too and just hate Kerry and would vote for anyone else but him.
    Look in the mirror before you start spouting your BS.
