TalBlack, that may or may not be, but when I support the troops, in time of war especially, that means I do not countenance people calling them baby-killers or printing doctored photos on the front page of the L.A. Times that gives the impression to the casual reader that the soldier is pointing his rifle at civilians.
It also means that I do not indict a soldier as a nitwit, a liar, a coward, or an incompetent without facts, as a knee-jerk reaction because it promotes a political position I hold.
This is the same garbage that the Democrats are doing, salivating at every angle of a story that seems to vindicate their political position -- in their case against the war and against the military (read against a conservative President and against conservatives in general.)
I do not respect anyone at this site who is slandering/libeling a U.S. soldier in time of war. The opinion about women in the military can be respected; however, IMO it should be discussed after the war is over and then it should be discussed with FACTS, not with SLANDER before the FACTS are known.
Right now, "supporting the troops" to me means supporting ALL of them, and not singling out a particular group and lowering their morale with nasty comments.
And if you think I'm just defending PFC Lynch because she is female, then you should go to my profile page and find my threads for care packages for the troops that I started before 9/11 as well as my prayer thread for the troops. My position here is because I practice what I preach when it comes to supporting the troops.
