Yak Rider, your response had absolutely nothing to do with the question. Want to try again or should I just assume that you are retarded?

and FYI ,Yak Rider, Clinton worked with a Republican Congress. Do you know who has to approve the budget?

Sorry, whip, I don't fight in illegal wars and kill people who pose no threat to me or my country, especially under illegitimate presidents.

Just because people support Bush doesn't mean that they're going to enlist. Bush wouldn't dare let his kids enlist, nor would anyone in Congress.

Bush didn't even support the military back when he was supposed to be part of it. He doesn't expect his right wing fundie friends to join the military or send their kids... they'd get out of it somehow even if it was mandatory.
What's happening is that the people that actually make up the troops don't believe in the war. They let friends back home know what's really going on, and more and more people are choosing not to join the lie. People don't want to die for a cause they can't believe in.
There are just as many Bush supporters as when the war started. There just aren't as many gullible people swallowing the rhetoric of the Bush administration anymore.

Sixty five active duty service members are officially asking Congress to end the war in Iraq -- the first time active troops have done so since U.S. invasion began in 2003.
Three of the service members will hold a press conference Wednesday explaining their decision to send "Appeals for Redress" under the Military Whistleblower Protection Act to their members of Congress. Under the act, National Guard and Reservists can send communications about any subject to their member of Congress without punishment.

Well I bet you none of those damn congress rep have any of their kids in the army because they know they'll be coming back in a body bag. You don't see GWB sending any of his daughters to fight this chaos that he created but each day that a sodier dies he claims its for freedom whos freedom. Stupid *** americans thats what we are thats why where gettin bomb each day. Also we support our troops but not the cause so in a way we just want our troops home. This teaches all them dumb *** americans who voted for GWB a lesson and if you know anyone who paid their life to this "MISSION ACCOMPLISED" war you have to really ask yourself what did they die for because we don't if we did how come where still over there fighting is it dejavu like the Vietnam War.

There are a lot of chicken hawks here, anxious for someone else to fight so their General Dynamics stock will rise.
They are brave enough to insult people anonymously though.
Real heros!!!

well there are enough troops to send anywhere in the world but i was watching the news and these troops are a bad risk to send into battle.that means they are up to their stupid necks in financial trouble that they may get themselves killed to get the insurance money for their families just to pay off what they owe.

Well it's sad, but the youth of America today have had all the pleasures of life handed to them on a silver platter, new cars, nice clothes, etc. Most of them are on drugs or losers, who have never had to work and don't care for this country or even their own parents. They are cowards and much different than the youth of WW11. those guys had it rough and were taught right from wrong and cared about humanity, but the youth of today is the generation spoken about in the Bible.. uncaring generation. Sad but true.

Because most Bush supporters--like Bush--are hypocrite cowards. They are gung-ho about letting others die for a questionable cause, but GOD FORBID they put their or their children's life on the line--they have OTHER priorities!

best way to protest war is not to join military
