Comments on: Undermining Morale http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/01/30/undermining-morale/ Summum nec metuas diem, nec optes - Marcus Valerius Martialis Tue, 02 Aug 2011 22:27:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Blue Crab Boulevard » The Difference http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/01/30/undermining-morale/comment-page-1/#comment-54474 Blue Crab Boulevard » The Difference Thu, 01 Feb 2007 02:15:00 +0000 http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/01/30/undermining-morale/#comment-54474 [...] Blackfive (Uncle Jimbo writing) brought this one to my attention.

And then his dismissal of those who do not support the troops, with a promise that he and his fellow soldiers would, nonetheless, continue to defend the rights of those people to express their opinions.
