This is the whole nature of President Bush's War On Terror. In the months following 9/11 President Bush could have asked us to do almost anything, I think. Instead he told us to go shopping and then in February he began beating the drum for the long-sought for War in Iraq.
The war isn't popular as it is. Most of us don't really have anything vested in it. I personally know ONE guy over there and he's not family. And that's when Bush has asked nothing from this country for the war---the money is borrowed from the Chinese, there's no rationing, no homefront commandos, no war bonds, no victory gardens, no raised taxes. Supporting the war means paying lipservice and that's it. If you support the war it's because you also support the President and his "spend and borrow, and it's all about me" philosophy, which would naturally preclude actually doing something for the war effort.
"Hmmm probably alot more than the anti war idiots, who do not have the guts to go to the middle east in person to kiss the terrorists *sses!"
Sweet Seductress, that's a cheap shot. You know that two-thirds of the American public does not want to "kiss the terrorists *sses!" or love terrorists in any way. I've seen other answers of yours and you're better than an answer like that.

If they took 56 year old women with poor health I would gladly volunteer. I have lived a full life,and the least I could do for the security of my grown sons,and grandchildren to protect them from the ternary called Islam is to join the military and take up arms and fight it. They don't take people like me,so the best I can do is expose the true agenda of Islam any chance I get: Would I take up arms to defend this nation if rioting starts here in the USA as it did in France ,you bet I will: Already locked and loaded :Now what are you doing to fight the terrorism big mouth?

Supporting the millitary in their struggle in the Middle-East does not mean that you have to wish that you were in the place of the soldiers.
I believe that puttitng a stop to Saddam Hussein's terrorism was a necessary step. I also don't buy into the rumor of it being a personal vendetta of Bush's.
I fully support the war in Iraq, but that does not in any way mean that I WANT to be over there. NO soldier wants to be over there now, but they are doing a noble service to their country and their people by fufilling their duty.

They are raising the limits cos there aint no supporters in the younger lot. There will come a time when they will call back the vietnam vets for their cause I think there has to be a lot of debate over this whole damn war issue.

I tried to join. I do not qualify.
You know they are still strict on who can join?
By the way, it is not an Occupation, but since you are just a simple sheep to the liberals I guess your wouldn't know. You only know what they tell you and you take it as fact.
I do not support war, I support peace. My difference is that I know sometimes you must have war to achieve peace.

That would not be a good idea.You see we are the forces at home who keep you peace at any pricers from having the only voice.We are here to see that if our soldiers look they will find that their are those at home who support them and know that what they do is important.
