I mean REALLY, how can you actually say these things about Ritter, like he's selling out his country, and how could he possibly call himself a Marine?

Get out the thermometer, some aspirin, and a BIG batch of napkins for that patriotic drool oozing off your chin.
This guy has been in Iraq. This guy has been ferreting out Sadam's weapons for nearly a decade.
This guy is a Marine and in Intelligence.
I beg to differ with your Armchair Know-it-All Warriorship.
I'll bet you've never had real dirt under your nails or can do more than 10 push-ups at a time.

>"His patronizing.... spiel.... says "I am an opportunist and sell out to foreign powers. I have no concern about objectivity so long as the money is green and in large quantities."

Is pure bullshit!
He carefully explains the illegality of Bush's daredevil attempt to start an inperialistic war without adhering to national or international law and he has the courage to stand up for his convictions.
He is SO courageously outspoken about his own MORAL concerns, that I doubt the money has anything to do with it.

>"He attempts to disgrace the marines by his actions - but that word "former" fortunately gets in the way.'

Speaking now for the Marines.....are you??

>"A paid hooker will tell you you're "good looking" - and Ritter will tell you your war is "illegal and unconstitutional" - but at least the hooker isn't selling out her country."

These lines are very telling. They say more about YOU, than whatever you are trying to get across. Ritter is speaking out against WAR, which has nothing to do with sex or blow jobs or how good looking (or ugly) you are.
I just couldn't let this go.
Maybe you and Ed ought to team up......you armchair warriors, you.
Ugh.
