How does one answer to their "argument" that they support the troops because they do not want them to be killed?
1. Then support the troops by voting for people who will increase the defense budget to give them superior fire-power.
2. Would you rather more American civilians were killed in terrorist attacks because you don't want Americans who volunteered to fight the War on Terrorism (as opposed to a non-exsistent war on Al Queda)?
3. Would you want a firefighter NOT to enter your home to save your family because he may die in the process?
4. So you believe you know what is better for the troops than the troops themselves when they voluntarily join the armed services?
