I have read most of the posts. If there is a war there must be a Warrior to go fight in it. War and Warrior are synomonous with each other.

Those of us that join the military know that we are supposed to do the Commander in Chief's bidding. When I heard about Sgt. Akbar fragging his officers I felt that there had to be some kind of breakdown. This guy messed up and didn't like the punishment. I didn't like that sign most of those protestors would not want anything to do with the military. They are the same ones calling us storm troopers and baby killers. We are liberators that is all.

One trooper on FOX was screamming God and Country is why we are here. Think about that.

The last person that wants to go to war is the warrior because he has seen the carnage and the shortening of young lives. But when we get the call let us go hard and met out the full force of our military. GW dose that Clinton hated the military so he never measured up to be a Commander in Chief b/c the troops never respected him. GW on the other hand is well respected by most of us in the military.

I too believe that the president is respected by most in the military, as well as the world. The thread was about supporting the troops while opposing the war, which I believe is quite doable. As you said, the last person that wants to go to war, is the one that has seen it, and has to go.

It must have been so demoralizing to serve a Commander in Chief like Clinton! Someone who said he loathed the military. What a difference it must make to have a leader you respect.

Also it is important that the troops know their country supports them. One reporter said they always ask what Americans back home are saying.
