New York Times Doctoring GI's Quotes!
I must be a positive thinker, because I keep thinking the lies from the Media might one day stop. They might see the light and change their wicked, wicked ways. But it just is not going to happen in my lifetime or anyone else's!
The New York Times has taken the words of a U.S. soldier who was killed in Iraq to make it seem that he thought his mission was senseless. The truth is exactly the opposite.
Here are the words from US Marine Corporal Jeffrey B. Starr in a letter he had written to his girlfriend.................
"Obviously if you are reading this then I have died in Iraq. I kind of predicted this, that is why I'm writing this in November. A third time just seemed like I'm pushing my chances. I don't regret going, everybody dies but few get to do it for something as important as freedom. It may seem confusing why we are in Iraq, it's not to me. I'm here helping these people, so that they can live the way we live. Not have to worry about tyrants or vicious dictators. To do what they want with their lives. To me that is why I died. Others have died for my freedom, now this is my mark."
And this is the version that the NYT's had.....................
Sifting through Corporal Starr's laptop computer after his death, his father found a letter to be delivered to the marine's girlfriend. "I kind of predicted this," Corporal Starr wrote of his own death. "A third time just seemed like I'm pushing my chances."
The letter was sent to Michelle Malkin. And at Mudville Gazette, Grayhawk also takes a look back on a few examples of the New York Times attacks on American GIs in the past. Kelli Pundit talks about it too.

I hope the family and the girlfriend of
"CORPERAL JEFFREY STARR" WILL UNDERSTAND WHY I'M POSTING THIS.
FEFFREY STARR said a few words that stood out to me
" A THIRD TIME JUST SEEMS LIKE I'M PUSHING MY CHANCES"
Jeffrey Starr may or mayn't have volunteered for the thired time, only he and his family know?.
BUT in the last three years we have seen service ENLISTMENTS continue to DROP ( YOUNG MEN and WOMAN are not ENLISTING.
LEAVING THE ORRGINAL MEN and WOMAN we first sent to BATTLE to CONTINUELY be REDEPLOYED AGAIN and AGAIN. FORGIVE ME but its begining to look LIKE A LOTTO PICK " IF YOU WIN YOU LOSE" .
MR. BUSH AND FRIENDS have sore fit to hold our soldiers by HOSTEAGE and EXSTENDED LAWS.
CONTINUEING to put the same MEN and WOMAN in HARMS WAY, HE has never come rigt out and ask our AMERICAN YOUNG MEN AND WOMAN :
" YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU TODAY ENLIST"
AND it seems our AMERICAN YOUNG MEN and WOMAN
EVEN FAR RIGHT and CONCERITIVES have REFUSSED to stand and FIGHT FOR OUR PRESIDENT OR OUR COUNTRY.
TO me MR. JEFFREY STARR BY ALL RULES SHOULD OF NOT BEEN THERE FOR A THIRD TIME, HE SHOULD OF BEEN WITH HIS FAMILY AND GIRLFRIEND AT HOME .
A (12) MOUNTH TOURE OF WAR IS PLENTY UNLESS HE WANTED TO GO, THEN PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
I MYSLEF JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND ( 52 PERCENT )OF AMERICANS VOTED TO STAY THE COUSE IN 2004, BUT NO ONE IS ENLISTING TO HELP WIN IT ?.

I blogged this over at Vilmar's. I saw Cpl. Starrs mother on Fox News wanting to set the record straight and let people know that her son counted it an honor and privledge to serve in Iraq to fight for the freedom of others.

This is something that the moonbats over at the Times will never comprehend and that is why they cannot and will not support the troops.
The primary personality disorder suffered by moonbats everywhere is the refusal to accept that they are nothing in the general scheme of things, that there are things worth sacrificing for. That freedom is worth dying for.
This Marine believed in his mission. He wanted improve the world, and in this, he succeeded, may G-d Bless him for it.
The Times has victimized a brave man and his grieving family. Again.

Exactly Linda! I hate it so much! If it was just for my ears that is one thing. But the troops hear about that hate and that I will never forgive.
