Remember Blake Miller, the NY Post's "Marlboro Man?"

2. Yes and all the Freeps think he's a sissy now.
The story on him being anti-war came out quite a while ago and the Freeps were crushing the guy for daring to not love killing people. Fucking sick.

3. The boys of FR are a bunch of sissy chickenhawks.
How dare they utter a single derogaory word about any Iraq veteran, much less one from the Fallujah campaign. :mad:

4. In both pictures, he looks about a thousand years older than
his chronological age . . . god, the things he's had to do for this country, and what he's probably seen . . .

7. Yes, he does.
I've never known a twenty-one year old who looks like that. :(

6. Deeply haunted by what he's seen...
...and by what he had to do to survive. May he soon heal.
