TEN of our soldiers died.



And Good Morning America called these brave veterans who came on this bus "traitors"! What do they call the ten who died this weekend???

1. GMA called them traitors?! That is outrageous!
:grr:

If I had a television I'd boycott their miserable asses. Well, I guess that's what I've been doing for the last 20 years. Damn, that makes me mad!

3. The video is posted in the political forum
They didn't come right out and say "traitors". They asked a Fox News type of question.

US Forces Face Bloody Start to June in Iraq

Sunday 03 June 2007

Baghdad - Sixteen American troops died in Iraq in the first three days of June, marking a bloody start to the month as the U.S. military presses on with its crackdown on sectarian violence in Baghdad.

A total of 127 American troops died in May, the third worst total for U.S. forces since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Fourteen of the latest deaths were reported on Sunday alone by the U.S. military.

North of the capital, a suicide car bomber attacked a police convoy in volatile Diyala province, killing 10 people in a busy market area and wounding 30 others, the local police chief said.

Gunmen at a fake checkpoint near Diyala's provincial capital of Baquba sprayed two minibuses with bullets, killing five people, police said.
