Actor denigrates American troops as "uneducated and uninformed
Published on March 23, 2006 By Rightwinger In Politics
Actor Richard Belzer, Det. John Munch of NBC's "Law and Order--SVU" seems to know more about the war in Iraq than the young men fighting it. See the link for details.

Belzer says American troops who say they "support the mission" are simply "uneducated and uninformed" 19- and 20-year olds "who are only in the service because they couldn't find a job". He said he's so much better informed because he has time to read 20 newspaper a day. Good for him; "money for nuthin' an' yer chicks fer free". Probably starts with the New York Times, I bet.

What a putz...I always liked "SVU", too, but now that I hear this, I just might stop tuning it in.

As a side note, first off try reading. Secondly, knock of the name calling! You "really" do not want to get me started! You keep "assuming" hostility where none is intended or shown.


Try reading what?


What is posted. Because half the time it shows that you don't bother

Dare I ask what happens when you "get started"?


Just ask around.


I really think you must be mistaken about how you're perceived.

Davad feels that service members lack the information to make informed recommendations
I don't think he meant that; rather, servicemen in the thick of it, can recommend what's within the area of combat. Yet they surely have a keen sense that things are generally going badly and have every right to question what the hell they're doing there and conclude either give them greater fighting support or withdraw.

Does it truly bother you being called a jackass? It seems to me as if you enjoy having a reputation of being a jackass.


How about I keep calling you a "jerk-off"? Would you like that? Somehow I doubt it.


Just an FYI.....I have a reputation for being an "a**hole" or a "complete a**". Get it right.

PS - As much as I like Rightwinger, I have to say that Basic Training is not "military service". It is military. It's not really service, though. It's the precursor to service. So, while I definitely admire his patriotic aims and his willingness to "put his money where his mouth is", I do not believe he has "served" in the military.


Sorry TW but I guess you an I will have to agree to disagree on this. Because "legally" basic training "is" considered military service. Just look at you husbands "LES" (leave and earning statement. Basic Training is counted towards time served in "service". Secondly he also got paid for the time he was there, right? That means he was "on" the payroll, making him a member of the armed forces. You don't make it on the payroll without being a member.

It Seems the liberals have to denigrate the intelligence of those they cannot convince through faulty logic. Belzer is merely acting out the tired old liberal script as he is not intelligent enough to think on his own.

Before: Davad felt that we should listen to service members' thoughts about what should be done in Iraq. The "righties" generally felt that the poll featured in the article was skewed and further that service members lack the information to make informed recommendations.


Now: Davad feels that service members lack the information to make informed recommendations, and the "righties" feel that we should listen to our service member's thoughts because they DO have the information needed to make informed recommendations.


Tex, I missed that thread, but thanks for a good laugh! You enjoyed that did you not?

DOc, be kind to him. I think his hatred has caused his trolley to leave the track. Just read his latest rantings at the whole Bush Clan.

Yeah, thas was pretty god, Tex. But I don't think I, personally, ever said that the guys over there were "uninformed". I simply think they know more about their own situation and surroundings than we do here, getting the skewed Party Line from assholes like Belzer, Zogby polls and the MSM. Apparently, to some, I'm giving them too much credit for being there when we're here.
No, the troops don't have the BIG PICTURE; none of us really do, when you come right down to it. Not even the President himself. He gets updates and advice, which form a picture, and makes decisions based on that.

And no, Tex....no offense. I agree with you.

I very much appreciate DRM's view, and thank him for it, but I never really got to serve my country, much as I wanted to.
He did, however, and I think we all...ALL OF US.....owe him that much credit. Even if he was a buttf***ing Swabby.

Only because dad and gramps were before me. It was "kinda" expected of me. "If" it had been up to me I'd have been a "jar-head"!
When I was in, I had more friends that wore "marine green" then I ever did that wore navy blue. I "hated" hanging out with swabbies! If there was trouble you could "always" count on the grunts to watch your back! 9 times out of 10 the squids would cut and run.

how did this lose the original thought of what a putz belzer is?

as usual when the heat gets turned up on some loony lefty the lefties here change the subject to something they are more comfortable with, whining, crying and attacking the author if a particular blog.
