You are NOT.

You're sitting at your computer griping about the President and doing nothing to solve the problems.

And if you have a problem with the MISSION, you have a problem with the Armed Forces. Don't pretend you support them, when you do anything but.....

You do NOT support my son, because you think what he is risking his life for is stupid. Don't hide behind the excuse of 'freedom.' You are a whiner, and nothing more.

Fortunately, my very young son is mature enough to know that his duty is to help protect and defend even those such as YOU who look down on his Commander in Chief, and ignore the threats to our safety that he is helping to end.

What would you suggest I do? Support someone I don't believe is telling the whole truth? Support an action that I don't think the Founders of this nation would agree with? BTW, you have no idea what I am or am not doing in the real world. I speak out and my voice is heard. And several liberals I know are coming to the conservative way of thinking because of my arguments. Maybe not the Republican way, but the conservative way.

And if you have a problem with the MISSION, you have a problem with the Armed Forces. Don't pretend you support them, when you do anything but.....

That's really sad. I can support the Armed Forces and in one aspect of my real life position I do support the Armed Forces. Not in any big way, but it does give me the capability to speak to many soldiers who are defending our freedom in a Western state and to thank them for their service, which I have done from time to time when the opportunity presents itself. It also gives me the capability to speak to men and women from all walks of life that are serving. And many of them agreed with the President on Afghanistan as I did

Never said that and I'm sorry you feel that way. Never said what he was doing was stupid. Serving with honor and following orders given to you by superiors is never stupid. However for your argument to be true it would hold that all orders ever given by a commanding officer were wise. Are you willing to state that? I hope not

Fortunately, my very young son is mature enough to know that his duty is to help protect and defend even those such as YOU who look down on his Commander in Chief, and ignore the threats to our safety that he is helping to end.

The direct and immediate threats lie in three places. Saudi Arabia, North Korea, and our borders. What's being done about those?
