This is a must read. Very unresponsible media. Look at the cartoon first before you read the response.



Here is the response

Move on folks, no agenda to see here, just keep moving.

Not sure if yours was a remark meant to be ironic or not Forrest.

I would say the response is something that was well deserved. Of course I am in the military so a bit biased in my opinions. I don't see an agenda on the side of the generals. On the other hand I do see the WP maybe trying to stir something up over the letter.

This letter - other than the fact it is written and signed by people in high places - is no different than the many letters any newspaper would receive from your average civilian or military member.

That's a sad stuff.

!!!!!!!!!!

I will ignore all of Mr. Tales cartoons in the future. I may also write a letter to the Washington Post.

very offensive and irresponsible

The more I hear from General Pace the more I like the man.

Why complaining mates?

It is just a cartoon!

Chill-out!

If others are wrong in responding to or condemning blasphemous cartoons then you people should also not do that!

We just gripe, not rape, pillage, and burn. It's certainly not blasphemous. That word has been terribly misused lately. Personally, I don't read the Washington Compost, but if I did, I'd simply quit.

The cartoon lacked taste. I think the guy's intent was a slam at the SECDEF and not wounded US military personel, but he missed his mark terribly. Good response from the Joint Chiefs.

Gen. Pace is great! He says it like it is, and I hate that he gets so many wrist slaps because he's not PC.

I assume you are refering to the Danish cartoon that depicted Moslems/Islam as violent and the violent rebuttle that was given because they were offended by this obviously false accusation? I don't see how the two compare.
