'I'm speechless'

John Boyko didn't give a long speech Thursday afternoon. "This is the first time my students could say I'm speechless," the usually verbose Boyko said after stepping to the podium in the East High School ...

This pogue is one fat war criminal in the making. He can't fit in a 5-ton truck let alone a Stryker.

bush,jr's war on Iraq is illegal. If you fight in it, you are a war criminal. If you get hurt there, you get what you deserve.

I thought that there were physical requirements for the Army. Boyko looks a little out of shape.

How dare you criticize this man? War criminal? Hardly. You should be ashamed of yourself. did you not enlist in the Marines? Oh, it wasn't to follow the commands given to you, it was only to reap the benefits of the military (job training, generous pension, housing allowance, etc.).

Kudos to John Boyko. By the way the article reads, it sounds like he has done a wonderful job as a teacher. I know teachers and coaches often wonder if they're getting through to their kids. Sounds like he has and he'll be missed.

Those of you making critical comments should shut off your computers, leave your mom's basements, and go outside to get some air.

Good luck to him. I hope he returns safely. He is going off to spread the good word of our country.

The great thing about our country is that that even uneducated idiots can accuse people of being war criminals and not have to worry about some thug from the secret police coming to your door in the middle of the night to drag you away. Unlike these people's hero countries like China, Russia, North Korea, Iran etc...

As a mother of 2 U.S.Marines that have both put their lives on the line so you can make VERY rude comments I am offended by your statement. If you are so great go inlist in the Marines and let a DI have your butt!! I respect this man. Please come home safely.

I served in combat in Vietnam, Beirut and Desert Storm. Retired as a senior military officer in 2002. Your sons are boots, so call me "Sir". Have them join me and the Iraq Veterans Against the War ivaw.org . OR Better yet, have them read Marine General Smedely D. Butler's "War is a Racket". He was a PA Quaker with TWO Medals of Honor. warisaracket.com

My son-in-law is going with John. I can't think of anyone I would rather have him go with. We are proud of John and the entire unit. God speed. Come back safe.

Call you Sir? I think not, you lost that moniker when you turned against the GREAT USA! You sicken me.
While your war record may have merit you just lost all respect!

You retired a year before the war. How the f-ck do you know whether or not to be against it? I was there(Army 3rd ID, 2nd Brigade)and would never make a novelty of the people who died or worse yet are permanently disfigured. If you want to question the mission thats fine, but calling someone who will soon be wearing a uniform like we did and putting himself out there and trying not to die a "war criminal" is stupid. Cant believe anyone who served in a combat unit would say shit like that. Maybe you were Merchant Marines or something.
