True, it's different for each person. Like someone might agree with one comment, or part of a comment but not both. But some of the arguements brought up are legitimate..Sorry I did sound like I was generalizing for everyone...my mistake.

I agree with the reasons we went to war, I support the fight completely. I think the way the war has become politicized by some on both sides is disgusting. I also think the way it has been prosecuted could have been better but that is hindsight. Will we win? I believe we can if we are allowed to. I just don't like the attitude of some who call anyone in the military who has a gripe about something a lib or a traitor.

Do not think I am refering to you though.

The politicization of the war by liberals is the only one I know. They appear to simply gripe in hindsight and actually do nothing to help. Nothing. Yet they do impede with their griping and outright opposition. That is the shameful part IMHO.

This is a war we did not ask for, with a very tricky enemy that is very real, very evil, and fighting it requires patience (yes, we will make mistakes), and outlasting them......which is why I think the Dems are traitorous in their strategy to use the war to regain their power. Their objections and criticisms are neither constructive or helpful to our efforts.

In that regard, I do not see individual soldiers who have pet gripes in the same camp. There can be loyal opposition, and much help can come from constructive criticism. That being said, I think the war has been run very well so far, and is generally being succesful. "The war" to me (nor to the administration I believe) is not just Afghanistan, Iraq, or even against Bin Ladin, it is against this radical Islam that is straight from the pit of Hell, and thought they are not winning at this point, they still can if we let them.
