Dose any one still support the Troops and the war anymore?

Question

I support the Troops and the war and i support the President and most of his choices. Why dont people support the Soldiers, they fight and some times loose ther life for our country the USA, and this is the thanks they get. Are Americans really that heartless any more?

Answer 1

You can definately support the troops and not the war. As a matter of fact, I support the War on Terror (Afghanistan & anywhere else we may go), but I don't support the war in Iraq.

I DO support them & the fact they're fighting, flying under our glorious colors, overseas. Must be a hard thing to do.

And I don't support the President. However, I haven't gone as far as some & no longer recognize him as the President (that's just rediculous). You don't need to support a President during a war, just the troops.

Thanks for the question.

Answer 2

I'll always support the troops no matter where they are, even if I do or do not agree with why they are there. If people would stop and think for a minute they'd realize that the troops might not agree with what they are doing any more than some of the people back home do, or even the people they are fighting. But they have their orders and must carry those orders out. It's ok if people don't wanna support the cause but at least support the troops because they might not support the cause either but they have no choice!

Answer 3

Most of Americans support the troops and a majority do not want an early exit. The main stream media reports the BS about the situation, They do not report how the "Real America" feels and what good is really going on in the Mid East. I'm sick of hearing the liberals say that they support the troops and not the war..*******. Bless the troops serving and honor those who have made the greatest sacrifice.

Answer 4

Not even our government supports the troops over there. they failed to provide them with body armor. They failed to provide vehicles with protection from land mines.
If you really support the troops, bring them home. Who's son, father, brother,daughter or mother do you want to be the last one killed?
The president has admitted that we went over there in error.

Check out the Veterans of Foreign Wars (a very Conservative group) they will tell you that the troops who come home wounded have a very hard time getting the medical treatment they are entitled to and deserve. The families of the over 2,500 Americans killed have had a very hard time getting the minuscule aid & support they are guarenteed in the GI Bill of Rights.
They get horrendus red tape from the VA --that is OUR government.

So when you ask who supports the troops, it ain't the president, or anyone in the government. None of those people ever served our country NONE! None of their children are in the military -NONE.
When you talk about heartless, look to Washington.

Answer 5

Supporting the troops is different from supporting the war. Even though the war has turned unpopular, the troops are not treated badly as the troops of the Vietnam war were. They are not being called baby killers, etc.

Many of the people who protest the war think that the best way to support the troops is to bring them home to safety.

Answer 6

I agree with you and Kathy O. I support the troops, the war, AND our wonderful President, George Bush. and i would die fighting in the battle anyday for the freedom I enjoy.
It was an OPTION for the troops to join the military, they didnt have to but they did and their in Iraq fighting for us! Are we as a nation so unpatriotic now?????
Well the Americans "that are heartless" are those Liberal freaks. They don't want to do anything and expect the government to do it for them.
The troops, the war, and the president have my support 100%

Answer 7

I will ALWAYS support our troops! They have no choice but to do as ordered.I dont believe in the war however,I don`t think that we should have ever gone over there! I think that it`s a complete waste of time,money,and innocent lives. But,there`s too much invested NOW to just pack up and go home. This war will end like vietnam,nothing to show for it except a bunch of dead soldiers!

Answer 8

I support the troops 100% and I support the war in Afganisthan because we have to find Osama Bin Laden and his group. Though I do not support the war in Iraq, I don't think we can quit or withdraw. We have to see it through. It has nothing to do with anything but a personal agenda of Bush and his administration. I just want our boys and girls fighting over there to come back home safe and sound and not in a body bag.

Answer 9

I fully support the troops, I just don't support their mission. That's two different things.

If you supported the troops, you'd know that they're not dying and being maimed for Americans. They're dying and being maimed for Iraqis and Halliburton's multi-billion dollar contracts to do nothing (why has power not been restored to pre-war levels? why is oil not being produced at anywhere near pre-war levels?).

I salute the soldiers that are doing their jobs and following orders. It isn't their fault that their leaders are inept.

Ask yourself this, why did the Republican house vote against granting health benefits to Reservists and National Guardsmen, when 40% of them have no benefits - and many of them served in Afghanistan and Iraq?

If you care about the soldiers, you'll write your representative and ask them why they voted that way when it got bi-partisan support in the Senate?

Answer 10

I support our troops because they have no chose in the matter. They are sent where they are told. I do not support the war and never have. I don't support Bush and never will. You better pray he doesn't start another war some place else before he gets out.
