michael And you wonder why Americans can't get help and face disdain for your arrogance ??? On the day your folks were ridiculing us more four more Canadians were being shipped home in body bags. That was not satire. That was pure ignorance and as our Canadian soldiers see such arrogance they will not gain your troops any love, for how crass it was. Our Prime Minister has enough problems drumming up support for Afghanistan mission. Those jerks just poisoned the well and I am right. Your country will soon standing alone. If you can't see how disgusting it is to families that have lost love ones or families like mine that will see their loved ones once again enter Afghanistan to fight beside people that don't appreciate the way they risk their lives in such a war.

dude, your shorts are a little too tight. We just had 4 cops killed in one city in a single day. While they were investigating the first shooting where the first 2 were killed they were being taunted by some liberal flunkies about how thye had it coming.
You are going to get all out of shape over some moron comedian blabing his mouth??? Get over it. If you don't think most Americans appreciate what our coalition forces are doing you are not that brite.
The only arrogance on this post was from you saying once canada is gone we'll be alone.
If some moron comedian is the biggest problem you are having you don't have it so bad my friend.

I have great respect for our Canadian neighbors, Mira. Good people. To talk about them, or any ally in this way is juvinile and really, really stupid. If I were Canadian, I would opt out too. Why take chances when your effort is not appreciated. You have a sincere apology from at least one American. Terry

michael Actually a lot of America's allies are not there anymore in case you never noticed and ridiculing a nation that has Icons such as our police ,our people and then spitting on the graves of our soldiers, isn't going to endear you to Canada either. In fact you just did a great job of showing just how much disrespect you have for the support of Canada the only nation that took on the job of going into the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan. While other nations are hiding in the safer regions Canada is in the worst territory of Afghanistan.

Reality is simply there are idiots in every country with too much time, money, and little knowledge. Worst part is that every now and then we give them exactly what they want: attentions for thier ignorance! Like we are doing here right now!
Consider me another American that is appologizing for some of the people craving attentions in our country.
Just don't let them get to you, and I will try to make my best efforts to not let your canadian do gooder idiots get to me either. Hang in there, and relax, they are not worth the time or effort, and certainly not worth much attentions that they are seeking.
Proud to be a trapper and supporter of trapping organizations

I am pained to see your dead return to their mothers and fathers in flag draped coffins. I was disgusted to see your Grandfathers and fathers return to America to be spit on after the Vietnam war. What was disturbing then was the Jane Fonda types and the satirists who in their ignorance trod upon the graves of good people trying to do as their nation asked them to. I also look upon fox as a series of balanced reports though some segments are to lefty or to right for me. Overall they are a better news channel then this piece of satirical crap offered. We are a country of 33 million people and every soldiers life is important to us. The disrespect factor for those soldiers and their family must be better served then by such ignorance.

Fox news is the best thing we have going in our media besides Talk Radio. That being said, I cannot for the life of me understand why they have those idiots on Red Eye on there. And you are right, it is DISGRACEFUL. Why some of the regulars appear as guests I do not understand either.
Mira, I appreciate all your work on this forum. I also appreciate the brave Canadian soldiers that have stood with our forces to strengthen our position.
As a regular Fox News Viewer, I will write to complain. I would love to see that show cancelled anyway.
I am sorry for people who cannot appreciate your loyalty to your troops. They probably can't appreciate it because they aren't loyal to their own. I apologize that one of our networks allowed such drivel.

I don't think that it was very smart to make a laughing matter of this war, but maybe if you weren't digging around the internet websites all day, posting this type of doom and gloom you seem to find, you would not be in such a mood. Just my opinion. Actually you have no idea where I got this item from. In fact it is big news up here and is on all of our news channels. People who lost their family in the support of your troops are really upset because this is like spitting on the graves of our lost soldiers. As for my finding gloom & doom you have no clue of the efforts I put forth to defend your right to trap by disassembling the anti trapping message. In fact a lot of articles are emailed me by folks that are trying to turn back the tide of HSUS & Peta and I don't have to search the web at all.

And that is why I asked for assistance in letting Fox know that Gutfeld made a very bad mistake in his round table satire. It's folks like Gutfeld that destroy & desensitize people and make them act as those taunting the police officers did. Just because vile dehumanizing satire is presented, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be challenged by good people.

Jim Nor would I ask you personally to apologize James. However I would hope that folks would try and understand that we must stand together when such pieces are offered and denounce them to their BOSSES. This is big news here in Canada and our Prime Minister is already receiving enough flak for sending troops on an UN mission in support of US policy to try and get terrorists defeated on their own soil and keep Taliban from executing woman for being raped or a myriad of reasons that we free people find appalling.

Well, Mira, I understand the Canadian sense of outrage. After all, you're only in Afghanistan to honor your NATO treaty obligations.
But we have a lot of bozos here in the US and I can't go on letter-writing campaigns for all of them. If it's any help, I refused to watch "Redeye" even before this fiasco.

Mira, you are not all there if you thing the words from one tv personality speak for all Americans-
michael And where have I ever given you reason to think my brain is addled. When wrongs are done I try to right them. Is that to difficult for you to understand? When someone offers a lie about traps I correct the lies and will defend the truth. When a video is offered that is false I address it. However if I am pointing out the lie all by myself, then by abdication of the rest of the people who know the video to be a lie, will allow the lie to become the norm.

I don't believe anyone watches it anyways. I did once, that was it. Don't like the moral-less attitude, I feel its the problem we have in the US today, no morals , ethics or intergrity.

Just remember this, If Canada was attacked the USA would be there to help. And also remember it could be your city/providence next to get planes flown into it. And just where do you think your folks landed when your air space was invaded and closed down to air traffic during 9/11 and who do you think it was that put your citizens up free of charge and even invited them into OUR homes till your air space was opened up again? Unlike the Hudson Ferry Service who took that plane to shore we never even sent a bill in to your Government for looking after your people.

Mira, you are not all there if you thing the words from one tv personality speak for all Americans-
michael And where have I ever given you reason to think my brain is addled. When wrongs are done I try to right them. Is that to difficult for you to understand? When someone offers a lie about traps I correct the lies and will defend the truth. When a video is offered that is false I address it. However if I am pointing out the lie all by myself, then by abdication of the rest of the people who know the video to be a lie, will allow the lie to become the norm. Mira I can see why you and people in your country would take offence to this, and if it was the other way around it would be just as bad, there is some on here that make good points, but I do believe that michael obrien is not one of them, he likes to post to stir things up a lot on here, and if it was turned around he would be screaming too, we dont need comedy like this in the shape everything is in right now!!

Mira, I worked with afew Canadians a time or 2 in Afghanistan. I don't find this very funny eather. But, you see how we feel now? At least this wasn't your OWN country doing this to ya. We get it all the time FROM OUR OWN NEWS MEDIA! But, don't get me wrong, though. I do understand it ticking you off.. I'm not saying it shouldn't by ANY means at all. Just remember, we aren't ALL like that.

I don't think that it was very smart to make a laughing matter of this war, but maybe if you weren't digging around the internet websites all day, posting this type of doom and gloom you seem to find, you would not be in such a mood. Just my opinion. That is really not fair. Mira provides many thousands of people the opportunity to see the antics of the antis and possibly do something such as writing to your politicians. If this was not important, he would not have his own section of this board named after him.

Cat,
Not trying to stir anything. He is simply wrong if he thinks one person speaks for all iof the US.
For some reason he is all about us vs them- why else would he go on about them putting up "our people" over 9/11.

michael And where the ell did I claim it was one person speaking for all Americans or pitting our country against yours??. Is your reading ability that challenged? In fact this is about the ignorance of one of your biggest and most watched TV news Channels spitting on the graves of Canadian soldiers. Where have I ever offered such ignorance against your soldiers. In fact I have been very forceful in offering defense of your country and your armed forces.

seriously Mira.
Have any canadian comedians ever made fun of Americans? Nobody is spitting on any graves. You need to take your overly-dramatic prom queen attitude elsewhere. One tv moron said something stupid, get over it. There are probably more Americans who think it was dumb than Canadians.
Look what we gave up and sacraficed for France and how do they treat us?
My family has a very long and distinguished military history so you can stow that business about not knowing about sacrafices.
Your country is in it with us. You would have more to stand on if they were actually fighting people in the US, but they are not. They are fighting in a foregin country for freedom, not for the US. We are all in this together, and if your country backs out because of one stupid journalist it shows a lot about how much you are willing to sacrafice for freedom.
Look at what we have been through. We've lost almost 100 times (100 times, not 100 more) as many soldiers in these wars yet our recruiting numbers are WAY up. There are liberal jerks all around the world who think we are arrogant and overstepping our grounds in tryingn to spread freedom, yet we still keep plugging on, fighting the good fight.
I am truly sorry if some American offended you, but you need to get a little thicker skin if you want to survive in the world today.

I don't believe Mira meant to sound like he was attacking or accusing us Americans. I think he was just wanting some support to try to eliminate this stuff from happening.
It's tough sometimes to word things perfectly to not offend people when you feel so passionate about something.
So let's cut him a little slack and try to really think about what he was trying to tell us.
The clip is in poor taste but yes it don't represent Americans point of view. Wrong, I have had some of my closest friends over there and we tragically lost one a couple years ago. We have the 1st ammemdment in this country and morons are allowed to say what they want. Am I mistaken or is this a TRAPPING website? michael

Mira,you do have the right to be angry about this.While some say"it's only comedy" comedy often reflects real opinions and the fact is American arrogance as displayed on that little clip is real.However,as many others on here have also stated,not all Americans are as ignorant as those buffoons.

Anyone of you that have family or friends in the military would not tolerate another U.S. citizen talking bad about our military let alone another country joking about it. The words "Dixie Chicks" comes to mind. That mess happened while I was over there. Then they had the stupidity to ask to go on a USO tour. We said to send them on over.

And I remember your reflections of respect in the thread showing the kid saluting our troops in Holland. You are the kinda person that our troops would be proud to serve beside. You might have served there with my daughter or son in law. They have both served two tours in Afghanistan. They were both in Bosnia. My Son in law also served in the Golan heights. My son is also in the military and expecting his tour soon. They are university grads that decided to serve their country in these dangerous times. The vast majority of the posters in this thread get it but some refuse to understand how this plays out around the world. When one of your major news channels offers tripe like this against one of your strongest allies and most willing supporters , can some US citizens be so numbed that they can't understand how shallow it makes Americans look? Do you think that France , Germany and other European countries are not laughing over how such ignorance is doted out on your allies. My post was a wake up hoping that most Americans would understand that such satire is neither funny nor would I expect it to be it be supported by anyone but Michael Moore, Phil Donahue, or Susan Sharandan who definitely want to chase American Allies away.

You might have served there with my daughter or son in law. They have both served two tours in Afghanistan. Thanks Mira For the complament there. Were eather of them ever in Kabul? That's were I was. I remember while I was there, things that happened, and I was RIGHT THERE when it happened, witnessing it with my own eyes. Then, was get back to the base, and see the "NEWS RELEASE" (what a joke) and it was NOTHING like I just SAW WITH MY OWN EYES. Some folks couldn't understand why I didn't fallow any of it on the news when I got home. I ussually said, "I just lived it, why would I want to see it on tv now". But, it was also cause I new not to trust what they said on there anyway. I'd just wait til I got to my base and got the reports threw our chain of command.

And what's with the question about this being a trapping website? If you mean that this isn't trapping related and your upset about it then I would suggest you go to the strictly trapping section. Seems to me you are a very defensive person and are defending the clowns that did the clip.

Mira, I will apologoze for what was said, even though one news media person does not speak for the entire country, that is just about all the world sees of the U.S., Please don't let the ignorant ramblings of the media lessen the the bravery your family has shown, with the exceptions of some of the local news people, the media in this country is trash that rarely broadcasts the truth, and does not warrant even the time to watch it.

I did not read all of this, and turned off the link in disgust. Just want to say. We are not all like that. In fact no one in my world is that way and many would be beside you with knuckles ahoy.
Media does these stunts to get ratings and attention. Much like we see on these forums.
Where I live the media viewing area is Pittsburgh. I can not watch the network news other than weather, and that is many times botched. When I go out of that media zone and into a low populated area, "the news" is like a breath of fresh air.
In my time I've witnessed that the media and the reports from people who are there are NEVER consistant with one another. "This is absolutely DISGRACEFUL." I agree and plead that you guys not group all Americans as such.
I think many are hardened off to this, and if you can't beat em join em mentality. And many others distance themselves so not to worry about things they can not change.
I will not say sorry, because then I may feel like one of them, and I am not.
Man this is tough to write about. You sure know how to get us thinking over the years.

Which has always been one of my main goals. To get folks thinking. Our lifestyle is one of the best vocations for thinking as we travel from one trap to another with nobody but our shadow as company. Some of the best philosophers & deepest thinkers on the planet should be hunters and trappers who live in moments that require patience and the ability to think about many things while observing specific items that require our attention.

Racerboy,
I guess I quoted the wrong post. I ment to quote the one aboce mine that stated we would not tolerate anyone sayong anything bad about the American Military. We tolerate it every day. Unfortunately we have places like Berkeley and such that breed liberal hatred of our military-
