Gunnery Sgt Michael Burghardt is an American Patriot in keeping with the greatest American military tradition. Many people including a huge community here on 360 would have you believe that we should crawl into a corner and cower in the hopes that the evil that wishes to destroy our society and wipe us out will just give up and go away. Unfortunately, in the "real world" it simply doesn't work that way. That's why Michael Burghardt and men like him are so important. As long as we have men like him on the front lines of the war on terror, America will be just fine.

I never tire of this story. Gunny's spirit is one of the reasons we are still here as nation. I know first hand what we are facing.
Thank you Mark

A very brave man, and no people don't have any idea what they are talking about when they spout rubbish. It is a sad world we live in that some people will do anything for money and even sadder that many do these things using the pathetic excuse that it is for religious reasons. They are a disgrace to humanity and all who are out there doing good and leading useful lives!!!!!!!1
