"Support The Troops"? Why?
I support the conscientious objectors and those who desert from this immoral occupation.
Convince me why I should "support" the rest of the troops.

um, because most of them don't want to be there, and policy is set at the administration level. And please don't compare them to Nazis. Thanks you.

9. Funny...for that exact reason, they're like most Nazis were
most Nazis "didn't want to be there" either. And in 1939 German policy was also set at the "administration level"...
What a koinky-dink

5. Because they are U.S. troops, and you're a U.S. citizen!

*edit* This is not my personal opinion. My attempt at sarcasm apparently fell flat on it's face.

7. So what
The fact that they're murdering foreigners in an illegal invasion is all cleaned up by the fact that they're apple-pie Americans, huh?

21. hey.
stop throwing around rhetoric like, "murdering foreigners" and "illegal invasion", and people will take you seriously. Is the war a tragic clusterf*ck? of course. Everyone on this board beleives that. But save the hatred for the people who put the soldiers there.
Would you have spit on Vietnam vets too??

29. ummmm
it is an illegal invasion and with the many tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi's killed, murder is an unpleasant, yet apt, description.
If the armed forces are voluntary and consiencous objection is an option then it is difficult to excuse any Americans from participating in this "clusterf*ck". Especially given what we know now about WMD's...
Having said that: I do hope for the safe return of our troops and a stop to the killing in Iraq.

The average person who votes Democrat would be appalled by what goes on at DU. Those people are not on the same side as this country.
What...
No Barf alert?
Ms.B
DUh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The word "DUer" should suffice. Like "New York Times" or "CBS".
LOL
Good point!
It's late, sorry about that!
Ms.B
You got that right. I've already forwarded several posts that from DU that went waaaaay past the line of venting into outright calling for violence against the US Government. The FBI will have a talk with several, I am sure. They are vicious, venomous, hateful people throwing a temper tantrum that they didn't get their way in the last election.
I fear them more than the Islamofascists, and I am one of the "troops" they supposedly support. I have a feeling I'd call security if they shadowed the door of my squadron.... Something tells me these folks are the "extra disturbed" wing of the democratic party.
"Would you have spit on Vietnam vets too??"
Undoubtably.
Just wait what they have to say after we go into Venezualia. Iran, Venezualia, North Korea and possibly Cuba have a plan and it is not good for the US of A. Hide and watch and I bet I am right.
