I hope the Mods are aware of what's going on.
But I will say this about 'letting it play out.' THIS is different than previous angry moments.
Miers, Schiavo, other issues have caused great division among us, but this is at the core of who we are. This forum has ALWAYS been supportive of our troops. Though these cut and runners are in full scale denial, with their yellow-spined cut and run message, they are bashing the mission of our troops, and sometimes even mocking them as well.
I cannot stay on FR if this continues. When the whole world has been against our military, FR has stood firm. If we lose this support here, there's no reason for military families to stay on this forum.....
Also, there's no loss of support for the military on FR. There is a real difference between a FReeper who doesn't like what's going on in Iraq, and a Left-wing nut who hates America and wants us to lose.
On FR, we all love our troops, however we feel about the war. Many of us have been praying for victory despite disliking the conflict -- unlike the leftists who have been hoping we'd lose so that they could make a point about the conflict.
We don't spit on our troops or encourage them to shoot our officers, like the leftists do. We don't want to de-fund them or denigrate them as stupid because they chose to serve, the way the leftists do.
Shoot, this thread is tame compared to the border threads.
