I'm sure by now that most of you have seen or heard about the disgusting and unfunny Red Eye show on Fox News where Greg Gutfeld insulted the Canadian Forces on the same day that we lost 4 more soldiers in Afghanistan. Today Fox News and not Gutfeld issued a half assed apology. It would be nice if we flooded their email and showed how disgusted we are with their half assed news network and their unfunny comedy.

I sent an email to them redeye@foxnews.com

Dear redeye on fox news

I thought I would take time away from getting a pedicure while running along the beach in white capri pants to send you an email. As a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces I am reacting with complete disgust over the comments on Red Eye about the Canadian Armed Forces and their role in Afghanistan. On a day where we buried 4 more young men who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country your loud mouthed unfunny comedian decided to completely disrespect one of America's few friends who's actually pulling their weight in the battle against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

His comments over the Canadian Forces desire to take a one year period to rebuild, rearm and recruit was disgusting, idiotic and reprehensible, its made an already unfunny small person look like a complete ass, and Fox News' and his apology are certainly not accepted by myself and many others in the small but proud community of Armed Forces Members. A brief press statement saying that your sorry is certainly not enough of a gesture to satisfy anyone.

I guess Greg Gutfeld in his stupidy forgot that the Canadian Forces were there to assist American citizen's in peril during the Hurricane Katrina disaster, maybe this pathetic individual forgot that Canadian's opened their homes to stranded American's during the 9/11 tragedy and that as part of the Norad agreement, Canadian CF-18's patrolled the skies over American cities. Perhaps Greg needs to brush up on the fact that Canadian Soldiers have bled and died next to American's soldiers in Afghanistan and Korea, they died on the beaches during the D-Day invasion and helped protect American convoys and ports during WWII. I'm not asking for gratitude from Greg or Fox news because sometimes thats a lot to ask from our neighbour to the south and we accept that sometimes American sefl involvement oversees all, but we do ask that you respect our contribution, and you respect the fact that over the last few years we have buried some of our best and brightest in the course of serving with Americans in a far away land.

A press statement isn't enough, if Greg Gutfeld and his panel have any integrety a full on air apology is in order, and if they can't bring themselves to do that then maybe they should show the same integrety and bravery as the Canadian Forces have shown in Afghanistan and resign.

But that would be too much to ask.

Sincerely Yours
