Answer 2

Regardless of what anyone says against this question I agree that all servicemen and women should be applauded and I agree with carisma when she said some support needs to be given to the families of deployed men and women. I personally am not a servicewoman but my brother in law is and I know first hand what a little support can do. SO here is my shout out to both the troops and the families of these brave troops. and to bluenote I give you a standing ovation. Well put!!

Answer 3

My Husband is a Sergent in the marine corps currently stationed in Iraq, and yes I say scream to the heavens how brave they are but (maybe this is just me tooting my own horn here) But maybe alittle bit more for the families at home. I love that my Husband has the support of a nation behind him, I'm just tired of being treated like everything should be OK for me because hes over seas and I'm not so why should i complain? I'm not saying they should give us a medal, I'm just saying how about aliitle bit more help while they are gone. (Lawn mowers are hard to push)

Answer 4

I went into the Army because I was a grown up and made that choice for myself, not because I was looking for pats on the back like some kid at a talent show. I didn't want people to oppose me for my decision but neither did I expect them to bend over and kiss my butt either. Frankly, my paycheck and help with college was all the thanks I was looking for, thank you very much. There are plenty of Americans who are a vital and valuable part of our society like teachers, doctors and accountants, I don't see people patting them on the back. If you want to praise our men and women in uniform why does it have to be in light of "terrorism" or "the war" or in light of anything? If you genuinely want to say thanks then just do it, no need to make a big show out of it. I think Americans support our troops no matter what and no matter where they stand on the war or the president or any of it. To my boys... Hoo Ahh... you know who you are.

Answer 5

ok my husband is airborne infantry. I dont excatyly support BUsh and dont like the reason why he is sending troops over there.(ahem to take the attention off his greedy ***) But I or damn sure support all the soldiers.
The real heroes arent the ones at home bitching about the war. THe REAL heroes are the soldiers and men and women who got off their *** and are over their right now trying to do their part for this country, knowing that at any minute they could be blown to pieces.

Sorry anyway I am in Ga now my husband is in AIT at Benning and we will be statoned at Ft wainwright in Alaska in November.

Answer 6

Actually there was no recent threat it was a propaganda move by MI-6 and the CIA.They arrested a bunch of people who will be detained indefinately and who will eventually be found not guilty,but meanwhile the sheep will cower and allow both Nazi leaders in the UK and the USA to contiue on with this illegal war for oil and profit and The New World Order.But you wave them balls around and grunt a whole lot and make your self feel good.I do admire your support for the troops though as it must be very hard for them.

Answer 7

The thing is --- the majority of the people DO support the troops - highly respect you -- regardless of whether we agree with Iraq or Bush. The troops never lost our respect.

Answer 8

Thank you for your courageous service to promote freedom for the oppressed. All governments that take away basic God given freedoms need to be opposed and toppled as we have the necessary resources and opportunity. I support the work our troops are doing in Iraq for the improvement of their country and freedom of their citizens. I think that Bush is a much better man than many of our past presidents. He seems to be courageous and principled in his leadership of our country. I think most people support him and respect him. God Bless President Bush and God Bless America

Answer 9

I agree with "butterfliesRfree" on this. I don't support the Iraq war or the administration but I'm so proud of our military. It really is amazing.

Oh, and bluenote2k earned my respect with his comment.

Answer 10

Support the soldier not the War... This war was still not necessary. Just look at what it brought out even further. Maybe some research by the administration would have helped.
