Edmonton's "Red Devils" and The Sandbox
By John
Via blog buddy and fellow Military.com peon JP Borda, comes more ass-kickery from Edmonton's Red Devils.
This time they're countering an ambush. JP calls it "milvlogging." I think our Canuck friends may have started something here...
In related milblogging news, JP has been following Gary Trudeau's (Doonesbury) foray into the milblogging world. His new Slate Magazine blog, The Sandbox, has just recently launched. JP's got all the coverage on our new milblogging brothers at Slate, so I'm going to briefly talk about Trudeau.
After enduring 3 years of stupid protestor tricks, we've learned that "I support the troops, not the war" is an empty, used carsalesman's line. SMASH did a thorough job proving that on a street corner outside Walter Reed Army Hospital.
Yet while Code Pink and friends were outside the hospital engaged in their most inappropriate protest, Gary Trudeau -who has made his anti-war slant clear through his comic strip) was inside and bedside. Trudeau checked his politics at the door, and made himself 100% available to our wounded warriors, signing autographs, chatting with soldiers, and listening to their stories.
THAT, ladies and gentleman, is "supporting the troops, not the war." I will be reading The Sandbox daily, simply out of support for Gary Trudeau and his efforts on behalf of our soldiers. I encourage you all to do the same.

Trudeau's comic strip is more than anti-war...it is abusive of our military and its veterans. How else to explain a "man" who made fun of Bob Dole because of his war wounds?
Trudeau cannot be trusted nor can his "conversion" be attributed to a foxhole.
Watch him carefully...he's a despicable human being.

Looking at the blogroll I can only assume, Alex, you're of the right persuasion.
How do you describe the many people wearing purple bandages at the RNC? How about Ann Coulter making snide comments at Max Cleland and the whole right wings demonizing of Murtha?
Are they despicable too? I bet you'll say they aren't, which belies your partisanship and makes your comment laughable.

Very impressive work by our northern brothers. Good to see that despite their stance on the war in Iraq that they are continuing to stand beside us in the 'Stan. I wonder if they could use an ANGLICO FCT over there....
