why are we argueing about this? if you dont support the troops...really what kind of a person are you? i understand not everyone likes the current situation the gov't has put us in, but come on man, dont ever quit flying flags for the service members overseas. support the troops even if you dont support the war, thats all i was trying to say. they may not be protecting us from the huns at the moment, but they're willing to should the need arise.

which brings me back to my original statement...if the 'reds' show up on shore, WTF are the 100,000 some thousand troops in IRAQ thousands upon thousands of miles away gonna do for our homeland? Tell me that

Tell me why we didn't have tons of helicopters and mass troops to help during katrina, how about that? Because they were in Iraq. Thousands of people died in new orleans because our country didn't have the resources to help them when they needed help the most.

the government's situation they've put us in?? They've fucking LIED to us, and changed their story sooo many times.. And look how much a fucking gallon of gas costs..

But oh wait, I forgot. If we're still fighting iraq, that means that our country will never ever ever ever be attacked by terrorists and we'll just stay in Iraq for all eternity and our country's going to be safe. Fuck that shit...how fucking ridiculous..just pissing them off more and more, the longer that we stay there.


And once again, the day that Iraqi's or any other form of tan persons from the desert invade the United States of America to tell us democracy is crap and we can't run our government the way it's been ran for this long, and to change our government to what they want us to, I'll take up arms to defend America. Until then, Iraq has nothing to do with protecting our country, and god bless the lives of the troops that are there due to the deception of our government. May god be with them, and especially the families of those, the widows, and the children who will never ever see their parents again. For what? Defending our country? No, for following orders..doing what they have to do.
