The Most Critical BattlefieldTHE FOLLOWING COMMENT was left by a Marine serving in Iraq (IP address confirmed) in the "Operation FREE BALBOA" post:
Thanks for doing this. The battlefield this weekend will be on the homefront. The only thing that truly concerns me is that the seditionist groups will succeed in causing the American people to lose their will and the enemy will win politically the victory we have denied them militarily.
Let there be no mistake: we are winning here. Morale is outstanding and we are successfully taking the fight to the enemy. You will see a successful referendum in less than 3 weeks and a successfull election in less than 3 months. I see the positive resuts of our actions everyday. The MSM ignores or denigrates almost every piece of positive news, exaggerates every negative and makes the enemy and his actions out to be more than they are.
They absolutely cannot defeat us militarily and have no strategic vision except the destruction of all who oppose them. A strategy based on such a negative is doomed to fail, unless we cut and run. That is the enemy's only chance to win. The biggest threat we face is a determined enemy who will not quit because, like the Vietnamese they see the possibility of victory because of a perceived willingness to quit at home.
You all are the ones who can help us out here by countering the enemy within. I've said it several times before: this war will be won or lost on the homefront, and the fact that there are so many of our so-called fellow citizens determined to defeat us scares me. You are the ones who can keep history from being repeated and you can help us by not allowing the anti-American crowd to help the enemy snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.This is the type of message that CONFIRMS what San Diego Protest Warriors are doing is the right thing to do. And it's the type of message that makes me proud to be doing this - so proud that we'll all look back on in 10-15-20 years and be proud that we helped out on 'the home front' in supporting those heroes in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.Some very poignant comments about how the same kind of seditionists helped the Communists succeed in Vietnam clearly proves the significance of what you are doing: " North Vietnamese Col. Bui Tin, who served under Gen. (Nguyen) Giap on the general staff of the North Vietnamese army, received South Vietnam's unconditional surrender on April 30, 1975.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal after his retirement, Col. Tin explicitly credited leaders of the U.S. anti-war movement, saying they were "essential to our strategy."
"Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9AM to follow the growth of the antiwar movement," Col. Tin told the Journal.
Visits to Hanoi by … anti-war allies Jane Fonda and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and others, he said, "gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses."
"We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war," the North Vietnamese military man explained.
"Through dissent and protest [America] lost the ability to mobilize a will to win," Col. Tin concluded."
Thanks for taking the time to help us out. You are the ones who clearly support the troops... because you support our mission. You may not appreciate the role you will play in helping to win this fight. But I do.
Thanks again.
And when I say proud, I mean looking someone in the eye if they talk smack about those 'evil Protest Warriors' and telling them "You're God damned RIGHT I did that stuff!! I'd do it again in heartbeat!".
So with that said - if you can, join us tomorrow at the south-east corner of 6th Street and Laurel Street in Balboa Park at 1:00pm to show the anti-war 'Tsunami of Tsupidity™' that there's another voice to be heard, that their's isn't the only one on the block (literally and figuretively). Join us as we say 'THANK YOU' to the troops for defending OUR right to speak out on any and all issues....even if the anti-war herd of lemmings cannot/will not recognize their hypocrisy.
As that commenter at Citizen Smash's place said: there IS a battle here on the homefront and the San Diego Protest Warriors will be 'fighting the good fight' on that battlefield.
And we won't lose.

Comments on Confirmation for SDPW
What's terrible is that after a while, the negative press begins to eat away the belief of even those who have supported the war. The press undoubtedly knows this. That method worked very well for them in turning the country against the war in Viet Nam. If we are repeatedly told the war is bad, it's going badly, and we hear nothing else, then we begin to doubt. It's almost impossible not to.
