When Our Soldiers Return From Iraq,Will They Return To A Country They'll Call Their Own?

Question

When John McCain returned from Viet Nam,at least he knew he had a country to return to,Now if our president and our senate get their way,our soldiers will come back from Iraq and find out that all this time they have been putting their lives in harms way protecting freedom and the US way of life,while Bush,McCain,Kennedy,Reid and all the traitors in the senate were selling it away to mexico at less than flea market value

Answer 1

I just hope, and I think they will, get a better homecoming when they do come home. Being spat at and called baby killers was not the right thing to do and I hope it does't happen to these brave guys and gals.

Answer 2

I'm not sure how much you know about deployments in the Military, but I am going to assume nothing at all, but forgive me if I'm wrong.

Soldiers go to Iraq for usually one year terms and then return home.
It maybe a shorter time, it might be a longer time. So my first point I'd like to bring up to you is that many have been and many have returned, and many have gone back to Iraq for second even third tours. The way you word your question it seems that you have the assumtion that everyone in Iraq has been there since day one.

I was in Iraq from April 2003 until June 2004, so far I haven't been sent back, but that will change in the future. And honestly I can still call this country my own. I'm sure that any other soldier out there would tell you the same.

Also you have to relieze that soldiers aren't cut off from the world their all the time. If you don't know there are telephones, internet, Satillite TV, newspaper, letters from home. All of these morale things given to a soldier keeps him in touch with what is going on back home as well.

Answer 3

Many from Viet Nam did feel let down. They came back and we were moving away from that issue. Some still want to know about the MIA because it wasn't a priority here only to them. There were so many of them Missing. Others were worried they didn't feel well and our VAs were over flooded. And it was hard to get help. Jobs did not always keep their employment (how could they for a couple of years?) they did offer usually lesser jobs with the company. It was a bit of a let down.
But life goes on (there were good things new and interesting).
And this of course was only only a small percentage who had real problems--a few thousand. Some are still living in the VA hospitals now (several thousand) they own nothing -nothing. You see they couldn't work. They get a small check from SSD but it is less than min wage. There isn't much money to go around and not enough for bigger cost of living raises.
Now when these men (boys) come home. Again it will only be a few thousad hurting- small in percentage.
Yes I think they might be a little miffed--

Answer 5

Even worse than the picture you painted is the idea that America might turn socialist/communist. I am scared that the country these brave men and women are fighting for will fall to the communist already within our govt. and the Chinese who own half our national debt (yikes!). Immigration is a disaster, this politically correct war is a disaster, patriotism is now a form of racism. I praise these men and women for fighting and I hope people like us can hold America together till they return. Hang in there! www.todaysperspective.com

Answer 6

Can any solider of any war really comes back a nation that they call their own? In the Revolutionary war, those who didn’t fight the war didn’t have the same view that those who died for it had. It’s the same with Iraq; they see how the world really is and how we are in a big bubble. They know that they need to protect the bubble so the American public can go on its day to day lives.
