Can you please point out where I suggested "that only an idiot would support their family members in the military"? I merely took issue with your initial post because I believe it's based on a faulty premise.

My son is fighting so that hopefully I won't have to.

That is what you took issue with. I stand by that statement. I am proud of my son. I am proud of his service. Without our honorable military fighting this war, we would most certainly be fighting it ourselves, right here on the streets of America. Except for those of you who choose to surrender.

Just shut up and let the real men and women do your fighting for you.

BykrBayb: My son is fighting so that hopefully I won't have to.

Sheltonmac: But I guess the fact that we haven't had a terrorist attack on our soil in four whole years is all the proof some people need that the war in Iraq is working to thwart a global terrorist network.

My son's service has made a difference. He has been part of the solution. Your insults are part of the problem. You belong with the likes of Cindy Sheehan. You won't catch me pi$$ing all over my son's service to this great nation.

And it's not because I'm too stupid to know that it takes more than just my son to save the world, as you suggest in your reply to me. I know that it takes a hell of a lot more than just my son, and all the other sons and daughters in the military, sacrificing for your ungrateful @$$. It takes a hell of a lot more, but we couldn't do it without them.

It is not stupid to support our troops. It is not stupid to see the progress that's been made. It is not stupid to recognize the fact that Afghanistan and Iraq were both a threat to us. It is not stupid to know the truth.
