Commanders allow almost no flexibility in the force protection methods. I firmly believe that we have the best in equipment and technology. Ask a member of any other military in the world. We have armor that will stop a 7.62 mm! What else do they want.
How can these people claim they are supporting the war when they attack everything being done? War is Hell. People die. I'm sad my cousin is dead. I'm happy my brother is home safe. Using the death and injury of our troops as a political football is disgusting.
Here's a typical liberal scum attack.
I'm at my wit's end in that I am completely lost about how to support our troops and the war.
So what do we / I do to demonstrate my support in a way that will have some real impact? Bumper stickers, yard signs, and tee-shirts are fine. But, I want to do more in honor of my brother for fighting and my cousin for dying a hero.
