ORIGINAL: wittynamehere FR Why should the troops be supported at all? They're paid to kill, destroy, and torture.... that's even worse than doing it for free. You know, I am going to reply from a perspective of a person that was 100% against our little police action, or whatever GW decided to call it, into Iraq. Also from the perspective of a person married for 21 years to a, now retired, military person.....with many MANY friends, family, and acquaintances that are military personnel. The people serving our country do not sign up to commit murder. They enlist to serve our country......along with a few other reasons that are promoted and sold to them by recruiters. But I have yet to talk to a soldier that was in it for blood sport. I have met many many soldiers that are haunted by the faces of those killed. Haunted by the faces of women and children suffering because of politicians games. Haunted by the sacrifices their loved ones have made. Haunted by the loss of fellow soldiers. I have yet to support an act of war, police action, whateverthefuckyouwanttocallit, that I've seen in my life time. But I will ALWAYS support the men and women that have dedicated their lives AND, that, to a degree, of their loved ones......to make 100% certain that assholes like you have the freedom to be an asshole without fear of persecution for having your opinions.
