I've already used this article (among others) once today in response to a "we're just loving families marching for peace" post. Good job highlighting it on here.

Keep telling it like it is Michelle.
I really do appreciate all the attention that Michelle is giving our effort. I mean, this gal is the real deal. She had spent time recently in Iraq with the troops to get the real story. She went out with the troops to see for herself. She didn't sit in some well protected area to file stories based on what someone else said like the MSM does. Go get em Michelle. To: Redhead Infidel
There are also some other interesting facts about the March 17th March on the Pentagon. It seems that on the 19th as a follow-up many from the Impeach for Peace organization will be meeting with Congressman, so they claim. Those of us on the Victory side should see to it that we get to do the same.

Michelle Malkin is a real patriot and professional. I always enjoy listening to her on Fox News. I wish more people like her were congressman and senators.

I would venture to say that it will be difficult for the Anti-American crowd to yell "Enlist!" at a large group of veterans.
They do their thing, we do ours. Let's all just remember that we are there to firmly yet peacefully guard our monuments. Stick to the mission as stated here: http://gatheringofeagles.org/?page id=83 To: Redhead Infidel
They do it all the time. And if/when you point out your veteran status, then they yell "Re-enlist." Doesn't matter a bit to them.

Mam, I am Spc. Beecher, Michael with the United States Army (Active). I'm with the (1st Stryker Brigade, Arrowhead) I'm waiting for my return to Ft. Lewis when my fellow soldiers get here. I was there last year when we were loading our trucks at the dock. We had soda cans, piss bottles, trash and rocks thrown at us, as if we don't get enough of it here now. I was in Mosul and now for the past several months in Baghdad. I'm with the 18th Combat Engineers, I conduct IED sweeps, raids, and demolition work such as the destruction of buildings that the enemy occupies and my time spent when things got bad are not pleasing but I love doing it more and more everytime cause I love my country and my family by that I mean the people of the U.S.A. ,like youself, who won't leave our side. I'm so pleased to have gotten this site to those with my same point of view. My goal in life is not to better myself or get rich quick but to make a change, a difference while serving my time in the military. While I go to school to do what ever is nessacery in order for me to get to D.C. so that I can make a difference there and set things right. Lots of citizens of this country have lost the passion of justice, freedom and above all honor as an American. Our country has changed alot since its younger years of glory with the protesters, the ones against the troops ,against our love for this great nation that wants to pursue happyness and protection for all mankind. I want to make this country to be able to stand up as a hole like it once was and be able to stand and say "I will not lay down, ...I will not go quietly, ...we can survive, ...I will protect, ...I will not faulter my honor". Mam I am a patriot and I want to set this country straight the way she once was and I believe that is what you and the supporters want. Now I will see to the greatest extent that my job is done, for all of you. I didn't join for the money or the benefits, I joined cause I want my kids and everyones kids to see this great country in all of her honor and pride as she once was. I'm not putting down our leadership but there are areas up high that certain others have lacked in. This country wasn't started from money, or power but from heart ...the same simple reason I'm continuing the great fight ,so everyone around us can live in a peaceful state. I want to know where all of our fore fathers have gone, they seem to have vanished as views changed when others didn't want to help the defencelss. Didn't want to stand up and help construct a brighter future for others when they came to our aid seeking help. Its not easy helping the people here who want a better place for themselves like we had....had....but since the "anti-war" protesters started there all about forget everyone else just focus on us routine, we slipped and slipped big time. No one wants war, no one, not even us, the soldiers. Things must be done in order to see that freedom and not evil succeed. There are times when we have to see it to the end ,to my end, to continue ones way of life. We can do this, ... we can do this, upon my return I will stand up ... will all of you stand up with me.

I hope while you're all up there you'll get a chance to drop in and lend a hand at Walter Reed. That would show real support for the troops. .

"I would venture to say that it will be difficult for the Anti-American crowd to yell "Enlist!" at a large group of veterans."
But aren't we expecting to get a lot of support from non-veterans as well? I was at the CPAC conference, and it was full of college Republicans and other patriots; won't we attract a lot of those to our stand for freedom? Imagine what a statement it would have made at the CPAC conference if they had had a military recruiting table there and thousands of patriotic young Republians signed up. Alas, it was not to be, but I urge any non-veteran who is attending to consider it. Maybe we could assemble a march on the local recruiting station, where the intent of the march was for the marchers to enlist. Woudln't that show up the protestors? To: Redhead Infidel
I am a non veteran Reagan Republican who will be honored to stand with those others protecting the Wall. I will be joining up with others from Massachusetts to be there. I would like to see the Eagles outnumber the war protesters. It would be interesting to see hoe the MSM would deal with that news. Thanks to Michelle Malkin for spreading the word.
To: Redhead Infidel
I would love to see college age republicans sign up but somehow I don't think that is going to happen. You may become a republican when you join but I think the ones that are pretending to be conservatives which is fine, they are just not warriors. The kids these days may talk a lot but when it comes down to it... I think I was a democrat when I signed up. I'm indy now.

Thank you and your fellow troops for their service. Don't let these lefties get you down. We, the veterans here and our supporters support you and your mission. I truely think that the silent majority has had enough. To: Redhead Infidel
John, that's why the Gathering of Eagles is so important. I think that a lot of young Republicans will enlist, if sufficiently inspired, and this event provides an excellent opportunity. Think of the statement it would make if a column of hundreds of college Republicans marched past the hooting throngs to the nearest recruiting office. There could be TV news crews alerted beforehand. It would be quite a coup, wouldn't it, proving that conservatives are willing to stand behind their words, and silencing the protestors.

This is not a political event. I am sure our active military is filled with not only Republicans but, Democrats, and other parties as well. I guess I fail to see your point. I may be taking you totally wrong but you seem to imply that only Republicans should serve. I think it would be much better if the "peaceniks" got on planes and flew off to the countries that they would like to have peace with. Then they could march on the capitals of those countries. After all, they seem to think that the Jihad will go away once our troops pull out. I am sure that Cuba, Iran, and Hugo would welcome plane loads of peaceniks. To: Redhead Infidel
Bob, I think the point was one is no longer likely to find a Democrat at a CPAC event. Years ago yes, but no longer. (Of course they could still be independent and/or apolitical.)

I hope while you’re all up there you’ll get a chance to drop in and lend a hand at Walter Reed. That would show real support for the troops. Implying that this isn't real support, huh? To: Redhead Infidel
Bob, the protestors are going to make it into a political event, or try to, and most of the attendees at the Gathering of Eagles are probably going to be Republicans. I think a lot of Democratic and Independent veterans may not see the protest as a desecration, even if the protestors approach the Vietnam Memorial. I feel that some people (and the protestors will certainly try to foster that impression as much as they can) will believe that the GOE is just trying to pre-empt the use of the Memorial in order to keep protestors from making a political point that the GOE attendees don't agree with. The protestors will say that they are approaching the Vietnam Memorial in order to honor the dead, and to try to keep others from dying in Iraq, and adding their names to a future Iraq memorial.
Now, I certainly don't agree with that, but you can see how that's the impression they'll try to give, and some people who see your comment above would try to mock and ridicule you for saying that they should move to another country. They will say that they are acting in the best and highest traditions of American citizenship, just as the GOE are, by expressing their opinions and trying to win public support, and will falsely accuse you of not understanding or respecting what American citizenship is supposed to be about. Now, we can undercut any positive publicity for the protestors to a large extent by inspiring as many people as we can to join the military at the event, or just prior to the event. It will be a newsworthy event, and will get a lot of coverage, and will tend to push out coverage of the protest. In addition, war supporters get a lot of ridicule from leftists who suggest that they're willing to talk a big game in support of the war, but are unwilling to step up when it counts. If we could turn this event into a recruiting drive, and that recruiting drive was responded to, that would present a big demonstration that conservatives don't just talk about what our country needs, we are willing to step up when it counts.

My son in law is stationed at Ft. Lewis in Washington state and is part of this convoy (tonight) getting ready for deployment the 1st of April. We love our troops and want peace but we need them protected to the fullest while they are there.
To: Redhead Infidel
The fact is you will find both Democrat and Republican in the military but the Military is overwhelmingly Republican and vote that way. that is why Gore tried to keep the military vote out of the Florida recount. But we welcome both democrat and republican to protect the Wall and stand with us. We do not have to have people enlisting or anything else we just do our mission at the wall. I am sure we will have people from all walks of life but many will be Vets. So let them shout Enlist we just say e did and now it would be nice if you did something for your country instead of try to drag it down.

GO Michelle. We gotta love ya! I am still tryin to get there! Not coming for intentional violence. I lived near that wall when it was built....but couldn't go. Just couldn't. 5 years ago, I did it. The only comment I have for anyone trying to deface that beautiful granite memorial is this...I have over 58,000 brothers there. People ask me if I know anyone on the Wall and my answer is always Yes, ALL OF THEM! Desectate that ground and I promise to take no prisoners or give any quarter" Nuff said.

But Jack, the protestors don't see themselves as trying to drag the country down, that's an important issue. They see themselves as defending the best interest of America, and unfortunately, they seem to have managed to convince about 60-70 of the American people of the rightness of their position. They are going to say that they have just as much right to use American monuments to promote their message as we do to promote our message. If they don't actually do anything to damage or dirty the monuments, accusing them of "desecrating" the monuments will be spun as an attempt by us to pre-empt the use of American symbols, and they will argue that their point of view is as valid as ours. In addition, they may call us "dead-enders" and "29 percenters" and use other epithets such as that, suggesting that we are a fringe group.
But if we can organize a mass enlistment, that will go a long way toward shutting down any criticism of us as simply trying to stifle speech we don't agree with. Obviously, real veterans don't need to enlist, but can't a lot of young conservatives who have never served in the military be expected to show up? A mass enlistment can demonstrate that we really support the war, and not just with words. And imagine the attention it would get. It would be the focus of media coverage as hundreds, or thousands, of young conservatives marched over to the recruiting office and volunteered to serve. It would also, obviously, make a positive contribution to our military readiness. To: Redhead Infidel
How are we to know who to let through and who not to. I can look in peoples eyes and see their intentions but others may not see a traitor if they are disguised. I know other vets will know but there must be some rules to follow.
To: Redhead Infidel
John Maybe withen the group there could be say "Captians" walking up and down the line making sure that no one withen the group is a traitor. Also to keep all those in line that will be having a hard time trying to hold there anger back. Should also play there game get some people withen there ranks and they can call or text message about there location so you know where there coming from.
To: Redhead Infidel
If I see someone attempting or in the process of defacing any monument, I will stop them and hold them until the police get there. I will not be wearing a GOE armband as I am wearing my uniform anyway.
I may get charged, I may get sued, but this pales in comparison to the price paid by our brothers on The Wall. To: Redhead Infidel
