The US DOD has a web page with reports and a place to leave a thank you to the troops. I'm sure they must have arsehole filters. There are certainly enough of them out there who would attempt to abuse this.

If soldiers were a registered 'victim class', half of 'the left' would be in prison for 'hate crimes' by now.

So true. If soldiers had the same "right" not to be offended that others apparently do, the antiwar left would be silenced, for real.

They don't become a victim class until they leave the military... "Veterans", you know...

Thanks for putting this out there Dale. :)
This one is legit! I'm sure the mean spirited ones are removed.
The guys and gals over there are already taking note on what various groups have to say about possible action in Iraq.
From what I understand different camps have access to various news organizations.
I know they're eager to see President Bush address the nation tonight/morning where they are.
